Quarantine streams?

With the corona virus keeping cities in lockdown and people in quarantine, I figured I could do some short but frequent art  streams to help fight the boredom.

Also, regarding commissions, I would love to redirect you to some very talented artist friends of mine who need it more than I do right now.. They work as full time tattoo artists, but due to the virus, governments in Norway have ordered that all tattoo studios must be closed until the danger is over. This means that all tattoo artists have now lost their main source of income, and as technically freelancers they aren't financially protected the same way regular workers are, so they now have to try and find other sources of income, like taking commissions. My buddy Jesper Hatcher is one of them (@jesperhatcherart on instagram), he is extremely talented, does gorgeous designs and has a very unique style. He works really fast too, seemingly finishing on average three commissions in one day..! His prices are far too low in my opinion, but that also means that you can get some really high quality commissions at a low cost. 

Other brilliant tattoo artists doing commissions atm are (tagged with their instagram names) :

@blodsmare (absolutely gorgeous work, likes doing morbid themed stuff with this sweet, pastel-y cuteness to it. I absolutely love her style. She did the snake tattoo on my calf :D )

@oaksketches (Good friend of mine, used to do tattoos and did the wolf on my lower arm. He makes incredible acrylic paintings, he paints landscapes, people and animals and used to do furry commissions. Beautiful work!)

@janistattoo (Professional artist, does masterful oil pantings and realism stuff. I don't know him personally but he is a very skilled realism artist)

And I think @karolinevedalart  and  @cessecat,  @pawov  and @stacyvl  are taking commissions too.  @karolinevedalart and @cessecat do really cool cartoony stuff, @pawov does realism and is especially fond of drawing lady faces, @stacyvl does really cool old school stuff.

Since all of these are tattoo artists, you could probably also commission them to do a tattoo design for you and book an appointment with them to tattoo it on you when the quarantine thingy is over..? n_n  just sayin'...

But yeah, I'll be streaming a bit today. I'll have the mic available, but will have to try and focus on drawing too ^^;  but I mean, I guess I could do commentary and just... talk about stuff or answer questions while drawing :) 

I'll set up my gear and slowly prepare to stream. If you miss this one, don't worry, there will be a new one soon. I hope there is a twitch setting that notifies you when I'm streaming? If not, let me know and I'll announce them here.

There's also a discord up and running for Patreons. I keep forgetting to add the link.. But I'll do it in a separate, patrons only post :) 

Ok, see ya soon :D
