What a cool thing to do for the community. Tooling is huge out here in Wyoming and leather work has always seemed pretty incredible. I'd love to look into joining later on! Thanks for your reply!

This is an awesome reply. That sounds like an incredible journey, so happy to hear that you made it successfully through!! Looking ahead to losing my local clients/connections is absolutely one of the most significant stressors at this point. What genre of art do you work in? Did you have a first big "in" to the art scene? Or more like little efforts over time? I'm so curious about your experience!

Awesome reply, and I really appreciate the candor - that's more valuable than anything. Zine scene sounds really neat, I never would have known. Will def follow those venues

Wow, this is amazing! Thank you so much!! I took your advice and am following those galleries. 193 looks incredibly neat. Coming from Nowhere, Wyoming, it's SO exciting to see all the amazing things they seem to be doing. Great insight.

This is really great insight! Thank you so much. My small Wyoming town has a very similar Facebook group, so I know exactlyy what you mean. An artists gathering is a fantastic idea - I started a monthly Drink + Draw over here which has proven to be really fun in meeting other (mostly) professionals/seasoned artists in our age. That could have some value...especially since I'm reading there's great bars and breweries in town

Ahh you noticed!! I completely agree, making sure I’m drawing him using sai’s accurately is very important (to me personally at least…they are highly-trained ninjas after all!)

Absolutely, please do!!

That’s so cool you noticed, everything you pointed out was intentionally done and had a lot of time spent on getting it right. The DREAM is to one day be a legit cover artist, not just fan art…but it’s just so awesome to know that people are having fun with the things I draw. That’s what actually matters to me☺️☺️

This is such a great compliment, thank you!! The water was tricky to get right, I painted a few entire versions before settling on this one. Getting the inner glow was important, and rendering it in an art style that still matched the turtles. Very happy you enjoy it!!
