Completed My First “useful” Weaving — A Rag Rug Made Of Four Panels Woven Together.

Reblogging for the daytime

CHARITY ART COMMISSIONS!

I’m opening 5 slots for 5x7in painted portrait commissions (in this style). Each piece is $45, $20 will be donated to @RAICESTEXAS, $20 will be donated to @AmazonWatch, $5 will be used for shipping the piece.

Email me at panicvolkushka@gmail.com or DM me

Patrons will receive the original painting, a high-res scan of the painting, and a screenshot receipt of the donation to RAICES and Amazon Watch.

You can make your own prints, put it on a shirt, use it as an avatar, as long as I’m credited. I will not sell prints of the pieces, I just ask that I’m able to post the image to my tumblr and other social media sites.

My first rigid heddle loom weaving! It’s around 6 feet long.

So I’ve scanned the pages of my risographed fashion study zine (you can buy that here)

I was posting art online back in the days of Elfwood, before Deviantart, so I’ve been around to watch the internet social rules of interacting with art posts shift over time.

Lemme tell you: Reblogs make me happy, but comments fill me with JOY. Whether it’s on the reblog or in the tags, even if it’s as simple as “I like this,” that means so much to me.

I can imagine there are a lot of artists in a position similar to mine: Working a full-time non-art job, with little time or opportunity to interact with IRL art communities. I was in art school for many many years, and I didn’t realize how important it was to receive feedback on my art until I wasn’t getting it anymore.

One of the things I’m trying to do, over on my bsky and my sideblog, is to leave a comment of some kind when I reblog another artist’s work. I know it means a lot to me, so I want to give that to artists whose work I enjoy.

To everyone who leaves comments on my art, even goofy stuff in their tags: I do see it, I do read it, and thank you so much!

To people who leave comments in the tags that say stuff like “this is so weird” or “why did they make the characters so ugly”: Please go look at more art and develop a broader palette. Maybe watch Simon Schama’s “The Power of Art” miniseries, as a fun way to learn some art history and theory.

My partner heroically located the cables for the scanner so I can finally post high res versions of these painting studies.

First is geometric shapes with open acrylic paints, second is broad colors with heavy body acrylics, third is open acrylics as the base with heavy body acrylics for defining highlights and shadows.

Dreamed that I was on a road trip with some friends. The car was very full, so I had to sit crouched on the shoulder of the passenger seat. The person seated in the passenger seat looked like Benedict Cumberbatch and I think we were dating. We drove through a small southern town, and I could tell where the queer kids hung out. A bar and a hair salon and a gas station, with 80's goth queer kids hanging out in front, smoking and drinking. On one hand, I was envious that these queers knew just where to go to meet people like themselves, but on the other hand I recognized how few of them were in that small town and how isolated they must feel. We drove along a high way at night. The person shifted from looking like Benedict Cumberbatch, to looking like W., to looking like A., and then finally looking like a combination of all three of them. I told him that I wasn't good at dancing. When a song came on the radio, he pulled over on the side of the highway and left the car door open so that the music could be heard outside. On the side of the road at night, he rested his hands on the small of my back and we danced slowly. The roadtrip (and the dream) ended with us sitting in a forest clearing, dressed in togas, watching a production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

Some Toshinoris and an Aizawa.

Exciting update! I've added a new listing to my Etsy where you can purchase a PRINTABLE version of this comic! Now you can print out your own physical copy of the comic, if you'd like.

Check it out here: LINK

The profits from the printable version will also be donated.

11/14/22 UPDATE: I’ve taken both “Naruto: The Last King, The Last Priest” and “Therapist R. J. Hill” off my etsy store. Both comics can be read, in their entirety, on this tumblr.

NOW AVAILABLE AS A PDF!

Several people contacted me about getting a digital version of my “Couple’s Therapy” comic, as the cost of shipping for the hard copy was prohibitive.

So you can now get this as a PDF download, for half the price of the hard copy, and no shipping!

Digital copy here: LINK

Hard Copy here: LINK

I’m hoping to make some of my original comix available as PDFs too. This is the first time I’ve done the digital purchase/download option, so I appreciate any feedback or notification if anyone runs into problems with the files.

Inktober day 4. Another interior.

This would have worked better as a painting. It’s the color composition of interiors that interests me.
