Always making
Inktober is a game we illustrators play in the month of October. 30 days of ink illustrations.
My first illustration I have chosen to do is, El Santos. He reminds me of my Grandma. We used to watch wrestling together as a kid. She would yell and scream and throw things at the tv. It still lives in my mind as a great past time.
It’s hard to not be effected by the news. I’m a 34 year old black man. I am deeply effected by the effects of my people dying everyday via police. You may have your feelings about it and you are welcome to have a calm chat with me in the comments if you want. I painted this for all the mother’s out there who are trying to be strong in the face of a very wild and unsure world.
Art is about giving so many fucks you have to make it into a new thing just to get it out of you and the world sees it raw like a nerve.
Painter out
Hi guys,
Just me checking in and letting you see what I made yesterday.
Also, please go check out my Patreon. Â I’m Jaws Blake on there. Every little bit helps and I would love to paint you some thing nice if you would like. My rates are honest.

I love this series right now. Just fun and crazy and fun.
Sometimes we travel around and the trees give us amazing ideas.
I never remember the best ones off hand so I care around a notebook these days to just brainstorm. It is now covered in stickers.
Geez, it’s been, hot man. The temperature has finally broken again so I’m not feeling like I should crawl out of my skin and put it in the freezer anymore. Â My studio boils in the middle of the day and the light blindness is the worst. Alec and I finally got me these curtains that Goose the demon climbs randomly. So I had these beautiful plants next to all my figures (toys) on my window seal but I had to move them because Goose (the cat) flipped them to the ground. Alec had them reset and moved outside. Sometimes I sit around them and wait to feel inspired.
The feelings are from my point of view anyways, is that their calm is a channel. Like a river mouth to my mind’s eye. 
I made so much this Summer and I hope you have enjoyed watching me deep in my muchness. Here is a collection of my art videos for the Season. Enjoy!
