Hello!
My brother and I have been binge watching Supernatural, which results in a lot of fanart! Here are a few pieces I have finished over the past week! I am always posting over at my Tumblr and Instagram as well!

I finished an oil painting! I had sketched a large dragon that I liked, so I carried it through into a painting. I also posted Work-in-Progress shots over at my Instagram, which are posted below. I also made this piece available over at my shop! Thanks for looking! Leave a comment with your thoughts! More work coming soon!

Hello all!
Over the past couple days I completed some Hobbit fanart! I saw the movie 4 times and I had to get some art out of my system! I completed it on 11×14 mixed media paper, with calligraphy pen, black ink, and watercolours overtop. Spiderwebs are a lot of work. I have this piece available for sale up on my online shop! You can get this piece as a print, on shirts, bags, pillows, and more! Society6 also has art available on clocks!
Thank you for looking! More dragon art coming soon!

Hello!
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season! I unfortunately lost my job right before Christmas, but I see it as an opportunity to find a job I really enjoy, and to focus more on my personal artwork and business! I am always accepting commissions or requests for  prints! Feel free to email me (lydiajoypalmer@gmail.com) or contact me at my Facebook page! I also have an online shop with prints, bags, shirts, phone covers, and more!
Yesterday I completed a new painting! My family and I had an up-close encounter with some “wild” deer at a local park, so I took lots of photos then, and decided to paint one! I will probably upload the reference photos soon!
Here are my steps and the final painting at the bottom! Thank you for looking!

Hello!
Last weekend I put in the effort and did a painting, to unwind a bit. Â It’s nice to create something and finish it! The painting started with a small doodle in my notebook, and I liked it enough to make it a finished painting. Completely done with Acrylic paints on a 11×14 canvas board. I have posted all the steps under the cut, I took photos with my phone as I was working. Enjoy!
Thanks for looking!

Hello!
Today I am posting a lot of the Steam Powered Giraffe fanart I have created in the past couple months! Steam Powered Giraffe is a band from San Diego, that I have recently discovered and fallen in love with their music and whole look. They dress and act as vintage robots, with whole backstories and histories. They put a lot of effort into creating their characters, and are exquisitely created with face paint, costumes, and mime work. To see more of them check out their website and youtube. I will post a description beneath each piece of artwork. Thank you for looking! Leave a comment with your thoughts!
