i made a lot of digital art in the 2010s (you might remember conferencecall.biz) but now i paint and draw. i usually spend a lot of time using palette knives to scrape down and build back up, adjusting shapes and textures over and over. while doing so, i'm often thinking about color relationships, texture, and how the viewer's eye might be led around the composition.

a great way to support me is to buy an original piece! get in touch if you're interested. i have been lucky to sell many of my early paintings and drawings (i suppose they're all relatively early because i've only been doing it since 2020). i try to price them fairly, as inexpensively as possible while still accounting for the costs of making them and the value of my time.
i also have an online store at zachtbd.bigcartel.com where you can order prints in the $15-$35 range.
maybe the most helpful thing you can do is tell your friends who are interested in art about my work! word of mouth will help me get my work in front of eyes outside of my (glorious, incredibly supportive) immediate circle.
