After Dark Illustrations

shooting stars and the northern lights make people speechless (realtime speed)

So we got some news today, first news in a while. Turns out despite of the current condition of COVID, Horse Trader Days will be happening this summer. Now I'm sure this could change, but regardless there is hope more fairs will open up along with it. Now, I'm not expecting much, and won't get too excited till we get closer to July, but it's good to hear things are slowly getting better. It's nice to see that we're heading in the right direction with the pandemic that we can humor this idea. I also figure things will be different, along with a high possibility that not many people will show up. I respect people's choices on practicing social distancing and I encourage it above all else. It's just nice ya know? Something to look forward to. That said it's news, for now. A possible light at the end of the tunnel.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOOT THE DOG!! You given us 13 years of love and happiness. I love you, you'll always be my lil puppers ( because your smol). . . . .... . . . #dogsofinsta #dog #dogs #dogsofinstagram #doglife #doglovers #dogoftheday #specialboy #birthdaydog #puppy #puppers #pup #doggo #floof #floofy #pupsofinstagram #pghdogs #dogsofpittsburgh #loveofmylife #myfirstfirstlove #puppyoftheday #bestfriend #gooddog #dogyears See more

Now that the treatment and antidepressants And seven months sober have built me a bed In the back of your brain where the memories flicker And I paw at the synapses, bright bits of string You should know I am with you, know I forgive you... Know I am proud of the steps that you've made Know it will never be easy or simple Know I will dig in my claws when you stray So let us rest here like we used to In a line of late afternoon sun Let it rest, all you can't change Let it rest and be done. . . I had no idea John k. Samson ( one of my favorite musician/ song writers ) made a part 3 of the cat named Virtute songs. . This is my latest sticker design, I started the idea back before I was bed ridden. Lately I've been going through projects to that were started before the holidays and finishing them, along with commissions and new ideas. I've been motivated this week, and it's nice to be able to work continuously. These moments don't come around often but when they do, I just need to work till the motivation runs dry. . Anyway someone on tiktok said to do a cat, and this is the design I came up with. The idea was inspired by the song above and I will be doing a whole series of night critters like this. Sticker is currently added to the souvenir shop- AfterDarkRelics on etsy. .

So if you heard the news. A family member brought home covid. So now we're all sick. I'm feeling pretty shitty on and off. I'm going to try and get some work done here and there. Having asthma makes this a very stressful time, as I'm sure it is for everyone dealing with this. Good thing I'm already used to being a shut in. . Wish me luck. I miss seeing my dog. . .... . .I don't know what it is with being alone and snowfall at night? Someone please explain this. . . . . #Pittsburgh #pghcreative #kendama #kendamasweets #kendamausa #snow #drawing #selfportrait #yellow #nostalgia #nostalgic #night #winter #snow #wacom #wacomtablet #photoshopdrawing #digitalart #hand-drawn #tgeweakerthans #lonliness #lonly #nightvibes #chillvibes See more

I heard in 2021 they're going to establish the rumored police force, who go around and collect money for all your illegally downloaded music from Lime Wire, to help boost the economy.

Good riddance. Not much more to say.. Happy new years from the After Dark. . . I completed a good amount of art lately , and started plenty of work to keep me busy through the down season. Hopefully we can get a hold of this pandemic and the fairs can happen. It could be my year if they do.... . . . #newartwork #newyears #happynewyear #happynewyears #2021 #2021goals #2021goals #goodriddance2020 #fuck2020 #endof2020 #2020vision #newyearsresolution # See more
