I've changed so much as a person since the majority of my posts on here. When I started this account I was in the middle of my transition from high school to college. Now I'm due to graduate at the end of this year, 2025. Notably, I'm so happy where I am now. Hoping to share more about how I got here and how things are going with my art stuff in the future as I continue to develop this blog. Stay tuned!

Just did my first market of the season. I’m so tired. I did well though!

I’m thinking about starting an Etsy shop. I’ve been making my art into different products to sell at my local farmer’s market for 2 years. I guess I’ve been doing it for so long that I didn’t realize I could be trying to make online sales too. Assuming I don’t just get lost in some algorithm anyway. *sigh* Here’s my Linktree with what I do have rn:

Rare proof that I was once very emo 🖤 I have trouble letting go of my past self, but the harsh truth is I’m much happier now. It’s so confusing not to know who you are when you are happy for the first time in such a long time. I’m still trying to figure that out. Being in college for the past 3 1/2 to 4 years has changed me forever, and that is utterly terrifying.

Dressing like an emo boy gives me gender euphoria, so here’s a couple of my favorite old pics of me.

This was my college dorm room. I’ve come so far since then. Can’t believe I’m graduating soon.

Quick room drawing practice with permanent markers and fine-liners for drawing class.

Hey 👋🏻 I’m Kieran, a lifelong artist, soon to graduate college with my BFA in Studio Art & Design. After doing college I’ve realized I want to go into Illustration. So now I’m pursuing that with every drop of motivation I have left.
Help I don’t know what I’m doing, but also I am a very capable and dedicated artist ok. I’m just a human also. 😤 Recently started actually using my blog here.

I fucking love Hokusai. These waterfalls almost look haunting, especially the one in the top right. They are hauntingly beautiful.
To think most people think these are paintings is crazy too. Nah, these are woodblock prints. Bro had to carve that image into essentially a stamp, line it up perfectly, and stamp it again for each new color.
Anyway it doesn't matter, I just love his style and it's incredible that his artworks are still relevant today.

Just taking a moment to appreciate my little ceramic frog I painted. I didn’t make it, I just bought it from a craft studio and painted it there. He’s very #kermitcore. @the-muppet-joker
Alternatively, if you squint your eyes it looks like an anthropomorphic Trolls doll that is a frog with green hair because of my spider plant.

I love when companies say on their packaging that they are being a good company! Hopefully they’re telling the truth 🤔 Or maybe I should wish companies always put this on their packaging. We still wouldn’t know of they’re lying or not though. Hmm.

So I used this account during my freshman/sophomore year of college and I feel like my art has changed a lot since then. I might start posting again on here, so expect a vibe shift.

Here’s the second part of that collage project! I’m not totally sure, but I think I love the drawing even more. Critique was today and it went very well. I feel like I perfectly portrayed the themes and moods I was going for in this piece. ✖️✖️✖️✖️✖️ #collageart #collage #collageartist #collageartwork #collagedesign #markerdrawing #markersketch #alcoholmarkers #alcoholmarker #copicmarker #copicartist #copicillustration #popart #maximalism #maximalist #retroaesthetics #retroart #retroartwork #80saesthetic #horrorartwork #horroraesthetic #kierandarkarts #kieranheywoodarts (at University of Idaho College of Art and Architecture) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcCUV4dLWIz/?utm_medium=tumblr
