ART ROUNDUP: MARCH 2024

I hope you all had a lovely long weekend! Please wish my partner Matt a happy belated birthday, it was on the 31st! He told me that one year when he was a kid his birthday fell on Easter and nobody came to his birthday party and that is one of the saddest things I’ve ever heard.

On that note, let’s look at some of the art I made this month! This is all just personal stuff and does not include any commissions, of which there were a fair few. Is this why my back always hurts? Nah, it’s way easier to blame it on the kid. She can’t read anyway.

I’ve been trying to paint at least one or two acrylic studies a week, but I’ll admit I’ve been pretty busy in the latter half of the month and have been slacking a bit on that front. It’s okay, it’s all marinating. I don’t know what kind of painter I want to be yet, and all my ideas, influences, experiences–they’re all composting while I rest or work on other things. Also I have apparently been going through another David Tennant/Doctor Who… thing… I guess, so who has the time when there’s fanart to do? (Classic Alex move, really.) Aiming to do at least a couple #PleinAirpril studies, even if I just end up taking my ipad out because real paint feels like too much of a burden to schlep around sometimes without a proper box/easel to carry it in.

Anywho, a few of these are going to make their debut as new prints at the Lucky Girl Pop-Up Shop on April 14th at the Centennial Concert Hall for those of you looking to nab some sick new stuff. It’s going to be a pretty big market with some super cool people–I think there were around 140 vendors setting up? You can get tickets here (only $10!). I’m really excited to be getting back into the swing of markets again. I hope to see you there! Okay kiss kiss love you have a great rest of your week!!

A redo of a painting from 6 years ago. I wanted to see what it would look like in my current style, and see how much I’ve changed since 2018. Verdict: a lot more deliberate with shape and colour, and a lot more vibrant. I’m a fan.
The 2018 version, for comparison sake.

I love to share my art and comics, and I’m extremely blessed to be able to do it full-time as a career, in part due to readers like you! If you would like to support my work, please consider subscribing to my Patreon for as little as $1 a month!
