I'm a good stepdad
I made a fun animation of Tristan and I's last piece. This was seriously cool, I've never animated anything like this! I've never been able to use a piece with all it's layers intact like this before. There's over 60 layers of animation happening here and this took me and my computer a combined 3 days of effort to keyframe and render. It was a good excuse to zoom in on some of these lil hidden details and make them pop :) 0.0 whats your favorite part? How many Tipper releases can you see? This is a red rocks piece that I'll be calling ShatterRox, but the audio is from Orion. Thanks for looking 🙂

and I did another fun collaboration for tipper at the Orion! When tipper was learning about how to control the weather he also learned how to pilot massive spacecraft. Huntsville has the biggest space museum. Put 2 and 2 together and he's gonna abduct us man!
I'm excited to announce that I'll be vending with a bunch of friends :) come check out the booth! This piece took a collective 20 hours ish, probably over 100 layers, idk anymore lol. No ai in this one, either :) It was really fun using some of my photobashing skills to make that thingy in the middle. 300DPI 12x12

Tristan Corcoran and I made some blotter paper art for the gorge this weekend :) I hope to see yall there ❤️ we’ll be walking around with these! Feel free to shoot either of us a message also!
This piece was very fun to create with one of my best friends and could also be very fun for you if you obtain it 👀. This is constructed of hundreds of layers along with at least a 20 combined hours between us both. I hope you guys enjoy this one! I think it turned out great! :) 300dpi 7.5”*7.5”. Safe travels my friends, I’ll see you at the gorge!

Hey y’all 🙂 haven’t posted in a while but I think I’ll start again by announcing that I’ll be running visuals for the Go go dancers at thebansheehouse for Haus of Faye’s pride month fashion show and at the after party at NOVA Events with many incredible artists! The event is called “PUSCÉ in Bloom” and it is themed for the empowerment of women and the LTBTQ community. You’ll all be getting invited so if you’re feeling like getting gay with us and seeing some cool art come on down 🙂 🏳️🌈
Attached is also one of my favorite recent pieces. This model i grabbed off pixabay, there’s no ai except for one pattern stamp that i made lol. Trying to minimize that as part of my process. Blended her head with a cool flower and just kept adding stuff 🙂 had so much fun with the warp tool and it’s quickly become one of my favorite things to do. A good warp slaps lol. Anyways 12*17” 300dpi this piece took me about 15 hours. I’m attaching these together because I will be definitey be snagging some pictures of the models on the runway to make more art! All the models in my art have mostly been random people on free image websites so I’m very excited to get the opportunity to use some pictures of people that I know with their consent 🙂

working on something entirely different and this totally came out by accident, I had no idea a hand thingy would look this cool with a te****le thingy lol. Really I was playing with an architecture preset to try to make some cool other details in another piece that im working on, and made something entirely cool on it's own with it. I've been trying different things with it, but I had absolutely no idea that it would just combine em like that lol. Looks pretty rad lol. forced a color scheme and masked it out and now I'm probably gonna turn this into a sticker.

sorry for the hiatus folks, I've still been making stuff! Just less involved with photoshop and more with after effects. I've been cooking up some cool new 4k clips for a bpm synced composition in resolume and I'm very excited to work on and debut for new years at the lyric in fort collins! Happy to share this new greasy look with yall! I'll start posting more stills in the socials again, I've just been super busy since hula. This is a snippet from one of the clips ive been working on! 4k 300dpi

Had a blast experimenting this last week with custom pattern stamps in Photoshop! I made various patterns by mirroring some random AI-generated images, which was a lot easier of a process than I had initially pictured. I played around with layering and brushing them in creative ways. I used a couple of free assets, arranged without much of a plan, but the idea of connecting everything with pattern stamps felt like a fun challenge. It was almost like playing connect-the-dots, creating my own pathways by scaling and rotating the brushes, playing with the hue a little bit, and layering them on using different blending modes. This took me about 2.5 to 3 hours, and I had a lot of fun doing it! There’s like 75 layers happening here and that’s all just me brushing stuff on again and again which was genuinely entertaining and fun! Afterward, I couldn’t settle on just one color scheme in Lightroom, so I created three versions: a vibrant one, a muted one, and a deep blue scheme that adds some depth. Which one do you like best? 😊 300dpi, 12x17.

Had more fun creating this piece, experimenting with techniques I haven’t tried before. I’m pushing myself to expand more on my creative skills whenever I can. I used Blender to arrange some free assets (still working on my shading and 3D modeling skills! I’ll git gud at it one day), then captured the composition and moved it into Photoshop, where I layered effects and mask-painted them into place. After that, I brought it into After Effects for some extra details and effects, mask painting details in where it felt right. Throughout the process, I digitally painted over everything using a variety of brushes, which was a lot of fun! I really feel like I’m getting better at that! 🙂 after all that, of course I put it into Lightroom to dankify the color scheme because that’s very cool. I’ve also attached some detail pics since FB compression isn’t the kindest to me lol (300dpi, 12x17). Thanks for looking! 🙂❤️
