2024 went well with my pixel art. I wanted more pixel art done in general, and while it’s not as much as I’d like, it’s still more than I made last year. Here’s to another year of pixel pushing!

Art continues to be a hustle, but it’s the few hustles I like to take on. In the last months of summer, long after Blerd Bash and the like, I finished up many conventions. Many of these events are newer shows that I hadn’t attended before so I continue my tradition of finding fantastic spots to display and sell my work!
Not long ago, I finished making a zine of collected art for my latest conventions. The Good Dog Sketchbook and the Black Cat Sketchbook are a collection of various dog and cat related ink drawings I’ve made in the past and the present.
For the past year, I acquired and tested new pens and art supplies that piqued my interest!
Many are impulse purchases, but I have found select pens that I want to stick in my utility belt of drawing tools! I have links to Jet Pens and Blick Art Supplies so you can get these pens for yourself!
During my time learning Gouache, I tried to make it fun for myself and paint a series of goblins with huge asses. I made a step further to expanding my art skills and work with a media I’ve always been curious about.
I’ll walk you through my process of creating this small painting.
Posting these sketchbook sketches isn’t as prominent as I need to be since I’m busy with some bigger projects and shows. My business has been cranking up and I get worried if I’m overwhelming myself.
It’s been a long year, I’d say! 2023 had plenty of ups and downs, but overall, I’m alright with this year.
Besides all my art stuff, going to conventions, and I losing my iPad, I’ve been living a simple enough life. Back in August to went on a trip to Arizona to met up with my friends and visit SabotenCon. The previous time I went to Arizona, we did more hiking and exploring the state. Most of my 2023 trip was wandering the convention, but I’d love to comeback again and visit the Grand Canyon or Las Vegas.
As of wring this, I’m doing laundry and not feeling that my day is any special. I still waste my time wondering what I did wrong in the year and hoping that I can fix what’s wrong with me in the future. For now, I’ll look back on what I’ve been doing for the past month and the past year.
