Hi there! It was really nice to get this in my inbox when I woke up this morning, so thank you. :-)

I should post some newer things here, probably.

The texture in this one comes largely from the surface I was painting on: heavy paper (Bristol paper I think) which I had coated with white acrylic gesso, using one of those super cheap “chip brushes” you get out of the bin at a hardware store for, like, a buck. They’re very coarse, so they leave noticeable brush strokes in the gesso. I find that texture really fun to paint on, in ways that the texture of a canvas isn’t, so much.
