April was quite the month for my Wednesday Picarto streams. The theme I went with this time was "Boob Tube", dedicated to the lovely ladies of television, and I ended up having so many ideas that I did a few extras. The Stash Card of the Month even got in on the action!

Happy April Fool's Day, everybody. I once heard someone make the argument that Rickrolling is one of the best pranks to pull on someone because it's completely wholesome and good-natured and the worst thing that could happen to someone getting tricked is getting to listen to a genuinely fun and catchy song. Compared to some of the more harmful o...

So the theme was initially just supposed to be Women of Marvel, but after the first couple weeks, a secondary theme of different decades started to emerge, so I decided to just go with it for the remaining weeks. Admittedly, the line between a few decades got a bit blurry (50s/60s and 80's/90's all fall into the hazy period where the fashions so...

I have so many thought's on the "New Captain America" costume from "Falcon and the Winter Soldier".
"The latest American war crime."

I had a bit of a rough week last week, so at the end of it I decided to draw one of my favorite cinnamon roll characters, Tsuyu Asui AKA: The Rainy Season Hero Froppy from My Hero Academia!
My only slight issue with this picture is that in trying to put a bit of movement into her hair, I'm afraid I made her look a bit like Ochaco. I head-c...

Tangentially inspired by WandaVision, this month's Stash Card of the Month is Vision's sister and Ultron's daughter/wife (yikes! lol) Jocasta!
I guess being a perpetually "nude" metal woman has a few drawbacks. lol

Hey there, paisanos! It's the tenth day of March, AKA: Mar10 - Mario day! I decided to celebrate the occasion by drawing Mario as portrayed by Captain Lou Albano on the Super Mario Super Show in 1989, waaay before Nintendo had their IP firmly locked down and Mario was still allowed to get weird! I mean, "Jump Up, Super Star" is great, but nothin...

I certainly couldn't let Mar10 pass by without getting Princess Peach in on the action! First is a fun little trading card I did for an art group that I'm in. That's one lucky Toad. As for the second image, I honestly debated on if it really belonged in the Secret Stash. I mean, it's sexy, sure, but it's not exactly explicit. But on the other ha...

I picked up some sketch card blanks themed around "Dinosaurs" the other day, and here's a WIP preview of my first two cards. It's the Red TyrannoRanger from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger/Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Savage Land Rogue from X-Men. Clearly I'm stretching the theme a little, but I think they still count. Color versions hopefully to co...

This is the Card of the Month for February. Members of the $5+ tier will receive a physical copy when the next batch of physical releases go out. Be sure to upgrade if you'd like to get in on future releases.

Here's a collection of all the art I did on my Wednesday Picarto streams this month! I'd been doing a lot of drawing on my streams lately, so I decided to focus on coloring this month. It was a lot of fun and felt more rewarding as I was actually finishing stuff on stream. That being the case, I think I might continue with coloring focused strea...

Hey, everybody! I already announced it publicly on my facebook page last night, but I wanted to make sure you were all aware that I'm going to try doing an oil painting on Twitch again tonight.

Sometimes when I'm drawing a comic, certain panels will stick out to me, and this is one that REALLY stuck out to me. I liked the rough sketch version so much that I actually ended up drawing the panel in an entirely separate file so that that I would have a large, isolated version of it in case we ever decide to use it for anything else like po...

So, yeah, my oil painting livestream last night ended up bombing due to technical issues.

So I took another shot at "Mountain Summit", the first Bob Ross paint along that I tried a couple weeks ago that totally kicked my ass. This time it turned out... better.

I wasn't going to jump on the Lady Dimitrescu hype train that's been taking over twitter. I'm already so busy with other stuff! But now I officially have people asking me about it, so I decided I needed to at least do a quick sketch. And, yeah, it probably won't be my last.

So how 'bout that WandaVision, huh? I'm certainly intrigued. I expected it to be a bit of a mind-fuck, but I didn't quite expect it to hover so close to 'horror' territory. The scene with the choking boss and his wife (AKA, the delightful mom from "That 70's Show") just repeating "Stop it" was just so damn unsettling, it was the moment the show ...

I wanted to practice my mountains in oil paint. I think they turned out pretty okay considering this is only, like, the second time I've tried to do mountains. I'm not sure if this falls into "happy accident" territory, though, because the snow didn't really work the way it's technically supposed to, but it's hard to argue with these final resul...
