They're catfish-seaslug-cloudmanders.

12"x9" acrylic paint on a wooden board. I used a paint marker for the black lines.

Two fish-like creatures swimming in a circle. They're blue with lighter spots, six orange eyes, and knobbly projections. The background is a blue sky with pink and yellow clouds swirling into each other.

    Good god this is amazing and I'm diggin the vibe! Would love to get a tattoo of this type of thing because it's right up my alley! Love your usage of colour, really good work the colouring style almost reminds me of a 1980's anime

    Thank you, that's wonderful to hear. It's way different from my usual vibe, with hard lines, lot of colours, and minimal light/shadows, but I'm following this road, even if it takes me to 80's anime. I didn't think of that till you mentioned it.

    If you're serious and want to use that as tattoo art inspiration, go right ahead. If you want to use the image as-is, we can discuss.

    I'm flattered, but I pulled everything from social media years ago. I've been sitting on a domain for some time. I'll do something with it eventually, under a pseudonym.

    My few minimally popular works are tied to my real name, so I avoid posting anything here that could dox me.

    You could create a public profile to just publish your work. Gotta have the discipline of not exposing your opinions with that though, which is easier said than done.

    Impossible.

    I was thinking more like a blog to share my processes, with info on how to be a poor artist and still make neat things. It would inevitably tie in my thoughts on capitalism, anarchy, waste, and why chemical supply companies who ask for qualifications can eat my ass.
