It’s not the color of your skin is the flavor within 🌶️ 🌶️🌶️

How do you know when to stop a new sketching or painting?

If you set a goal and you feel frustrated with the process, keep going.

If you reached your goal and you’re unsure if you should keep going, take a break and come back with fresh eyes to make a better decision #sketch

I started a daily challenge to fight through the mundane and find new inspiration. But I sometimes forget to post them on Twitter 🥴

[akacorves (ah-kah-kor-ves) @akacorves]

Back in the studio after an overloaded summer. Thinking about a daily sketch challenge to get warmed up after a 5 month hiatus, here's the first one.
Good timing since Inktober is just around the corner...

I just want to create without the fear of being criticized

[akacorves (ah-kah-kor-ves) @akacorves]

I don’t know if I can call this finished… but I’ve done all that I PLANNED to do at least… maybe I just need to let it settle for a few days before it FEELS finished… #artshare #nftart #NFTCommunity

[akacorves (ah-kah-kor-ves) @akacorves]

I’ve been distracted. And feeling a lot of inertia to finish these four canvases, but I remind myself, I am not a machine. I am an imperfect human. One grain of sand at a time ⏳ #nftart #abstractart #illustration

[akacorves (ah-kah-kor-ves) @akacorves]

Got started on this monster today #ArtistOnTwitter #studiotime #nftart

My friend wanted me to accompany him to his tattoo session today, but I still got some work done. I’m repainting the ink pod collection for 18x24 prints #digitalart #NFTs #nftart

This is the 4th sketch for the 4th canvas. Transferring tomorrow evening. #NightOwls

[akacorves (ah-kah-kor-ves) @akacorves]

Inking starts tomorrow… working on canvas 3 of 4. Transferring the digital sketch via projector. Took a lot longer than anticipated #digitalart #acrylicpainting

[akacorves (ah-kah-kor-ves) @akacorves]

I took a few weeks off, but started strong last week on some big 3x4’ canvases

Anyone else feeling salty about the taxes on their crypto gains? 😒

How could I forget?? I also did a couple of live painting events in austin 🙈 at one I projected my digital painting onto a canvas at a night time event. It was pretty cool #atx @barrmansion

[akacorves (ah-kah-kor-ves) @akacorves]

I only got to do one show while I lived there 😞 the lesson: seize the moment #CarpeDiem #ATX

[akacorves (ah-kah-kor-ves) @akacorves]

My art studio in Austin TX. I moved there at the end of 2018. Got a full time job in 2019 to fund my art career. Quit in Jan 2020 to do art full time and then… COVID #ATX #artstudio
