My current space is a home studio where i can’t really make a mess, so I transitioned to making much smaller works. I use micron pens for thin lines and copic marker to avoid mess and clean up. I also break out tiny brushes and metallic acrylic paint for a series called “Sadstronauts”. These tiny paintings feature a small space explorer managing their emotions on different planets.
