I’m back at the Brookfield Farmers Market today!

I’ll be here from 8 AM–1 PM with a little bit of everything from Tempest Creative — original artwork, prints, and plenty of weird, colorful things I’ve made.

🌧️ FESTIVAL UPDATE

Day One of the Creative Arts Festival has been cancelled due to weather for the safety of the artists, vendors, staff, and everyone planning to attend.

Obviously I’m disappointed I won’t get to open the Tempest Creative booth today, but keeping everyone safe comes first.

I’ll keep you updated as soon as I know more about tomorrow’s festival plans.

Stay safe, stay dry, and hopefully I’ll see you tomorrow. 🖤⚡ (seems unlikely though, paintings and moisture don't mix)

A new name. The same artist. A bigger storm. ⚡

Schweinfurth Art is becoming Tempest Creative.

When I began sharing my work as Schweinfurth Art, the name was centered on me and the artwork I was creating. Since then, my creative world has grown to include paintings, comics, stories, live streams, and a community of people following the work as it develops.

I wanted a name that could hold all of those things together while leaving room for whatever I create next. That is why the new name is Tempest Creative.

The tempest represents the energy running through my work: movement, emotion, change, and transformation. My art often lives in the space between opposites, bright neon and deep shadow, tenderness and tension, beauty and grief, softness and intensity. A tempest can be turbulent, but it can also clear the air, change the landscape, and make room for something new.

“Creative” allows the name to reach beyond one medium. Tempest Creative can be a home for my paintings, comics, stories, streams, experiments, and the community growing around them.

And the lamb still belongs at the heart of it all. The lamb is the quiet presence inside the tempest: gentle without being fragile, watchful, resilient, and unafraid to remain itself. That contrast between the softness of the lamb and the intensity of the storm reflects the same balance found throughout my work.

So as the name changes, the lamb comes with me. It isn’t something being left behind with Schweinfurth Art; it is becoming a symbol of Tempest Creative, the calm heart that continues through the storm.

The name is changing, but it’s still me. The artwork, stories, strange ideas, neon colors, dark ink, and creative heart behind everything are staying the same.

Over the next several weeks, you’ll gradually see Tempest Creative replace Schweinfurth Art across my social media profiles, usernames, links, email, shop pages, and other places. If you still see the old name somewhere during the transition, don’t worry-you’re still in the right place.

Thank you for being here and for continuing into this next chapter with me.

Welcome to Tempest Creative.

The storm is just beginning. ⚡

Canopy didn’t survive the rain last night, due to some user error on my part. I unfortunately won’t be set up for my last day at RAW, but I have a great day yesterday and I’ll keep you all posted about future events and happenings. Thanks to everyone who came out to see me yesterday, sorry if you planned to today!
