Boo Boo

I've struggled a lot with painting this past year. I never could figure out what I wanted to do. I finally had a breakthrough about a month ago when I started this. I didn't want to do anything that would overwhelm me; just something to get me back into the rhythm of things. You can read more about it on my website.

Gene's Bayou

A few months ago I finished a commission for a bayou painting for a new restaurant. You can see a larger view of it and read a little bit more about it on my website at https://dustinwilson.com/blog/genes_bayou/.

I painted this last year. It was inspired by my girlfriend's telling me about her people's myths from eons ago of a giant turtle depicting the known world. I set out to challenge myself. My idea initially was to have it covered in barnacles and algae. At that scale they'd be pretty microscopic and would make it look filthy and scary. I chose to keep it pristine and friendly looking.

Been a while since I've posted here, so I thought I'd give it a try.

I haven't drawn or painted anything in 6 months. I've been re-watching Stargate SG-1 lately. I'm usually pretty terrible at just sitting and watching something, so I started doodling. I picked Teal'c as portrayed by Christopher Judge doing his characteristic eyebrow raise. It's not of any particular frame from the show, and I decided to fix the frequently awful looking forehead prosthetic to look more like it's embedded there. It's B0 size.

Nautilus

Another digital doodle using an odd color scheme gleaned and modified from colormind.io. Spent a bit more time than I wanted on this one, but that's okay.

Bee Happy

I always forget about this place. I really should get into the habit of posting things here when I post elsewhere. When I log back onto Tumblr I suddenly wonder why I don't check it more often because my feed is inundated with great artwork from people who I follow.

This is a casein painting on Arches watercolor paper of a bee on a sunflower.

Polar Bear

It's been a while since I have posted here. To be honest, I've forgotten about it. I've been busy lately, but I've taken the time recently to try out a different medium: casein.

Casein is a water soluable paint like watercolor, gouache, and acrylic. It is an odd paint in that it uses milk protein as a binder. It dries to a matte finish like gouache does, but the paint seals like acrylic does when it dries.

I have a few more of these, and I will post them as I get time.

“Poisonous”

Day 1 of Inktober done on Day 2 because I’m lazy and forgot about it yesterday. I’ll see if I catch up or do any more of them.

Keeping Watch

Painting by Dustin Wilson.

Finally finished it last night. Glad to be done after months of work here and there right before bed.

[dustinwwilson]

I finished this a while back and forgot to upload it. It’s for a tshirt design printed and released this past June.

[dustinwwilson]

Completely forgotten about Tumblr. I’d posted this elsewhere already.

Got some time to work on it again. Haven’t had much time to work on it lately. :/

Moar Leaves

[dustinwwilson]

Leafy leaves... Finally getting back into this after a long period of technical matters, just one of them being my new computer.

[dustinwwilson]

Wrote a bit about moving away from Apple hardware and building a hackintosh. Building a computer is why I haven’t posted updates here, so sorry to folks who follow me for art. It will return shortly.

[dustinwwilson]

Work-in-progress. Working on it a bit by bit, like an hour or two before bed at the most. I’m working on it a bit differently than I normally would, so see how it goes.
