Still in couch mode, experimenting with gouache. New dragon today!

Home sick and too tired to paint digitally yesterday (sofa's warmer and more comfy than my computer chair), I decided to try out my old gouache set again! Card size was small enough to not feel overwhelming. :)

God jul!!
I planned to make this into a card back in 2023 but never got to it. Just your regular Christmas robot.

Yesterday's break doodle.
I work retail, in a specialized bookshop with lots of games and fun merch. This time of year, it's... demanding. You get a dire need to summon some energy.

I recieved a hand-crafted card in the mail today, and it made me really happy!

It also made me reflect for the billionth time on auhenticity and our reliance on technology.

Is digital art doomed - too mimicable and too close to AI slop to be trustworthy? Should we all go back to charcoal drawings of live models and washing oil paints out of brushes?

Hard work, life experiences, and time. That's the value we put in things we make, right?

Here it is: Flying Dragon
A tribute to dragons, adventure, and flying!

I finished this just before my first gallery exhibition with the theme "Fantastik" (fantasy), where this painting had its premiere showing as a canvas print. The art show was a lot of fun, and I'm so happy my fellow nerds appreciate my art ❤️ Here's to dragons! 🔥

PS It works great as a phone screen, feel free to download for personal use!
