Another quick lil guy. Last of my batch of trying to compensate for lost days in the 'make a drawing every day' goal.

Also the last of stickers in general for a while 💔

Stamps

November 1, 2024

November 2 - Stamping Posters

November 2/3 - Cards

Linocutter on linoleum, Ink on paper

Stamps I made during a stamp/printmaking event at makerspace.

We needed stamps for the AAM stamp rally, and this event was hosted at the perfect time for me to make mine for the rally.

Everyone got a ~2x2" piece of linoblock to carve, but the cards for the stamp rally had slots that were ~XxX", so I cut the linoblock into pieces.

I carved a little flower to fit my flower/cyclamen motif ❤️ and then I decided to make a little business card stamp

I printed with their actual fancy printmaking ink at the event to check that the carves were deep enough, but all the stuff afterwards was done with ink pads from michael's (they're honestly a lot easier to use, too)

My dumb ass never took good pictures of the actual stamps I made before moving 170km from them. I'll add pics once I visit home.

Painting of a cockatiel ❤️

I remember struggling to use the neon acrylic paints because they're really translucent and only show up well on a white base.

Fanart of Trampoline by SHAED

March 23, 2020

Fanart of the first verse of trampoline:

I've been havin' dreams Jumpin' on a trampoline Flippin' in the air I never land, just float there As I'm lookin' up Suddenly the sky erupts Flames alight the trees, spread to fallin' leaves Now they're right upon me

Idk what compelled me to draw this, think I just had a clear image due to the lyrics. Pretty on the nose.

Watercolour and india ink on watercolour paper

July 28-29, 2024

Discovered a little hobby shop near where me and friends would go rock climbing, and made the mistake of falling for it. ngl bad decision because I just do not have the time to commit to it 😭

Anyways, I bought a light gray primer and primed a couple of my tyranids. The vision was for it to look like their skin is glowing underneath the scales. I did a pretty neat colour sketch of it on my phone, but translating it to the figure was the hard part. I am not made for painting minis, yall 😔✌️

Shouldve used a smaller brush than I did, but I was also just not patient enough methinks. Looking back at it now, the figure wasn't half bad, but I didn't like it back then so I painted over it 💀

I also just used my normal acrylic paints cause I am NOT paying for the expensive ass figurine paints or whtvr theyre called 😒😤

I'll redo this... eventually 🌚

Pen Case Assignment | Lid

January 15, 2021 - ~January 20, 2021

This is not social commentary, it's just a funny statement.

Engraved aluminum pen case lid I did in gr10 manufacturing. Didn't actually CNC machine it myself because class was online cos covid, but I toolpathed everything. The beginning of my CNC escapades.

I knew I wanted to do a dragon because that's a classic for me, but then I needed more stuff to fill the space. Me and my family were just messing around one night trying to think of something to put on it. We eventually settled on 'Vaccines are now being administered by babies' because we thought that was funny.

My shop teacher engraved all of these projects on the google meet, but for mine he did it after class because he didn't want to possibly offend someone lmao 😭.
