I am sorry to hear of his passing. Art is interesting in that it can leave behind memories.

A graphics tablet connects to the computer, and they are very accurate.

That drawing is very detailed! Was it patterned off of an actual item?

I'm 99% positive it wasn't patterned off an actual item. He has much more detailed drawings. The collaborations were in galleries and one sold before he passed. He also designed the shirts for some band and posters for a venue, I couldn't say which on either. He had a good "regular job" but his art was just starting to earn more than it cost, which I know was never why he did it.
My youngest started writing songs in 3rd grade. I didn't know he could sing until he was in 7th. He taught himself to play guitar. I guess I would call it folksy/emo/hipster.
It's crazy because we don't have anyone musical in our family that we know, then this generation: my youngest sister's son is in graduate school at Yale school of music, my younger sister's son had a Christian heavy metal band and they toured the country several years ago, and my son is really good (I'm pretty sure it's not just me being his mom)

Something different from the norm, for a contest.

The ghost crab can dig up to two feet to eat the sea turtle's eggs. But this time is different. He didn't plan on....Sniping Turtle! That crab will get eggs-actly what he deserves.

Pose practice. This was a very strange pose. Foreshortening is difficult.

Using more translucent brushes than the grey scale one. Fixed a few issues in post processing. Colors 3d on a Nintendo 2dsXL.

Thank you. I think painting more lately has helped.

These landscapes are outstanding! The textures are the icing on the cake.

An attempt to re-work a previous painting. Has a few issues, but came out better overall.
