throwback thursday
Since I wrote yesterday about how much I’ve been practicing and trying to level up as an artist, I thought I’d share the first page of my No Man’s Sky travel journal today, from all the way back in 2022. This was about a month after I started painting. For comparison, I shared more recent entries in this Moleskine here and here.
See you next week.

taking my time
I’m wrapping up the detail today on this view of the vermilion globe, so I’ll have that for you tomorrow, but I wanted to share one of my progress scans in the meantime, from over the weekend.
This one’s really coming together, and I’m taking my time. I’m looking forward to a day when I can think less, flow more, but for now I’m still learning, and sometimes the going is slow.
Over in No Man’s Sky, I built a gate on the paradise moon Piporo, and I’m dying to warp to the next uncharted system.
Whatever I find there, I’ll be sure to bring you the highlights.
See you on the other side.

in the etbandf system
Still tooling around on the mushroomy coast of Jasmodus Gamma while I finish up the color on this one. There’s laundry chugging away outside the saloon doors, as usual, but now there’s a wild little puppy napping in there too. Slowly but surely, new routines replace the old, and life returns to normal, as if she’s always been here.
Slowly but surely, the garden is waking up outside, hints of buds are forming on the trees, and I am learning to care for this new family member, who enters her seventh month on Earth today. She is pure enthusiasm, and she is . . . yep, destroying my beautiful hand loomed rug.
Gotta run — see you next week.

l. sternketeus
This week, we head back to the vermillion globe to take a look at L. Sternketeus — robot fauna with a handy built-in umbrella. Nice way to see the misty pink and seafoam coast of Jasmodus Gamma.
From there it’s back to Piporo to build a gate and then–
Well, you’ll just have to wait and see.

one
I wanted to return to this series of paintings I teased last month, from my No Man’s Sky travel journal. This, as you can probably tell from the title, is the first.
One of the most “Earth-like” planets I’ve ever run across, except that there seems to have been some sort of technology-related apocalypse at some point. Oh wait, that’s exactly like Earth!
I love how this one turned out, I love the volcano violet sky and the brush pen shadows. I decided to paint the whole system before I moved on, and each planet came with new challenges, and new opportunities to learn.
I’m still learning.
Back tomorrow, with something even closer to home.
See you then.
