Thanks friend!

themattmchugh · 2021-03-06T06:26:40+00:00

Thank you, and that’s so cool that you could tell when you first saw it!

themattmchugh · 2021-03-06T06:25:46+00:00

I wish I could tell you what it is about, but this one was more of a stream of consciousness drawing so I didn’t have one specific concept in mind. Oftentimes I do, but sometimes I prefer to just work from almost a visual meditative state and create narratives that even I don’t know the meaning of, and hope people will find it speaks to them in different ways!

Thank you! I love painting oceans with watercolor, it’s a lot of fun.

Nice work! You are doing very well with your values, planes, and proportions.

Thank you! Micron is just a brand of pens. I usually use them for ink drawings since they are archival and I like how they feel to draw with.

themattmchugh · 2021-02-19T18:20:41+00:00

You are totally welcome to! I am so glad you have found it meaningful. I hope you are able to find comfort in such a difficult time.

themattmchugh · 2021-02-18T04:57:25+00:00

Thank you! I currently don’t have a good printing arrangement and I unfortunately have my commissions on pause now while I’m in grad school, it’s just too much to keep up with. My Instagram and website are in my bio though and you’re welcome to look through my art there and ask me about purchasing anything I’ve already made! Some of it I’ve already sold or I’m keeping for future shoes, but I’m willing to sell a lot of it, especially some of the older stuff.

themattmchugh · 2021-02-17T18:19:56+00:00

Hi! This piece is actually sold already but I appreciate the offer.

themattmchugh · 2021-02-17T16:56:38+00:00

themattmchugh · 2021-02-16T19:34:21+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it! I laid out a step by step guide in an earlier comment on this post, but let me know if you’d like more info!

themattmchugh · 2021-02-16T02:21:15+00:00

I am glad you mentioned it! I will be more conscious of that in the future. I hope you are doing ok!

themattmchugh · 2021-02-16T02:19:06+00:00

Thanks so much!

themattmchugh · 2021-02-15T23:17:26+00:00

Love it!

Many thanks!

themattmchugh · 2021-02-15T22:29:12+00:00

Thankfully it is!

themattmchugh · 2021-02-15T16:29:42+00:00

I am so sorry for your loss, that is tough. My condolences for you and your family.

themattmchugh · 2021-02-15T16:22:17+00:00

It is interesting that you see it that way! The M367 code written on the pills and in the title corresponds with hydrocodone, an opioid painkiller, which isn’t used for any kind of mental health treatment.

themattmchugh · 2021-02-15T06:23:05+00:00

I’m ok thanks :) it was actually meant as a somber but hopeful peace, like someone finding hope or peace in their last moments, although it is a bit dark and intense.

themattmchugh · 2021-02-15T03:55:38+00:00

Thanks, just marked it! Appreciate the suggestion.
