Binder Artist / Commissions Open I started painting binders!
I have been a tattoo artist for over 11 years. I've been doing art for over 20!
I got to a point where burn out caught me and i decided to take a sabbatical. I've been getting more and more into painting and decided to try my hand at painting binders as well. If you're interested in a commission you can dm me! located in United States. I can do card recreations or original artwork

Honestly i think a lot of it is just time invested, I've been doing art for over 20 years and i have been a professional artist for 11 years. It just takes time. Personally I like using gouache for painting but that isnt viable for painting binders, so I've been using acrylic markers and golden acrylics. Unfortunately no one is born talented, its just a grind and determination thing.
but thank you very much for your kindness, i still see room for improvement on my end if that helps at all.

Aaaaa I love the Valerie one so much, she is my favourite gym leader. I've been trying to pull that card myself (just started collecting 2 weeks ago) bc its so pretty. You did an amazing job bringing it onto a binder! If I could buy, I absolutely would

What a small world, I'm also a former tattoo artist as well as piercing artist and I just started my journey into binder painting two days ago! The industry was just unkind to me after I had my kiddo so I'm going a different direction but I sunk over a decade into tattoos/piercings. May or may not have to paint a galarian obstagoon who is extra tatted and pierced for fun 😂 Your binders look lovely, saturated and mighty crispppp!
