So much easier and nicer to draw and paint after a good night’s sleep. The whole suffering artist myth is such a stupid idea. Anyway. Happy to start a week with finishing a nice commission. #editorialillustration #bitcoinart #artstr #craftstr #artonnostr #bitcoinartist #bitcoinillustration

5 minutes sketch while waiting for the food to arrive. I had to quickly decide what was important for me here. And more than the people in front of me, it was the way both inside and outside were present in the frame. #urbansketching #bitcoinartist #artstr #artonnostr #drawing #sketchbook

Sharing the process behind an illustration: from the sketch, through the colour roughs to the final artwork. I know no one’s got time for clicking outside links but I think it’s worth a look. I’m obviously biased. Link below.

A Journey to the Final Image

I love peeking into people’s sketchbooks, learning about their process and seeing how an idea turns into a final image.

Some parts of the process are just very relaxing. While others are anguish, experimentation and frustration of battling with the unknown. This is the relaxing part. #bitcoinillustration #bitcoinart #bitcoinartist #artstr #craftstr #proofofwork #proofofart @Keith Meola

The work continues, it’s a lovely project to work on. More details to come. #artstr #bitcoinillustration #artonnostr #bitcoinart #bitcoinartist @Keith Meola

Hey Nostr, what does proof of work mean to you? What images or situations come to mind? What context do you see it in? I have my own ideas but drawing this concept again and again I think I should broaden my view and include what it means to other people as well. #asknostr

I’m working on a series of 3 illustrations and I’m scared. Which is a good sign. I’m going deeper into the creative process which will surely pay off but is uncomfortable in the meantime. I’m sharing my thoughts on this messy process on Substack. And only when I write this post I realised that these illustrations are actually about bitcoin! 😆 I will share more when they’re ready. #bitcoinartist #artstr #craftstr #bitcoinart

Honestly, I'm Scared. Which is Probably Good.
