Attended an art journaling class this morning and had a bunch of fun starting this one.

The @phillyinquirer newspaper on the first page is from 1923 and I found it in the walls of my house.

Also the instructor of the glass thought my window on the cover was brilliant.

I did some pen and ink fan art of Ren inspired by his song ‘Hi Ren.’ The background texture is a combo of my all of the lyrics and stippling. #ren #hiren #renmakesmusic #penandink #inkdrawing #art #sketch

Well the good news is they’re all going to be produced!

Doin stuff for a thing I have coming up. Which color combo is your favorite?

Drew LeVan @drewklevan.bsky.social · Jul 22

I really branched out (pun intended) on this one by adding color 😆. I was looking back at some notes I took from the Brand New Conference and saw I had written down “Love Your Roots” which was the inspiration for this one.

A series of pen and ink critters I finished up last night. Might create a fun mock branding around these!

My 005 pen died today. I used this pen so much that the graphics on the pen itself completely rubbed off. Why am I so sad about a pen?

A friend and I challenged eachother to create a portrait of the other. This is mine. Started with an iPad sketch (see Timelapse video in comments), then traced to cardstock paper and inked! I cannot wait to show her! #penandink #illustration #design #drawing #portriat

Accessibility folks.
Do you have recommendations for a company that will audit an existing brand for accessibility? #accessibiliity #wcag #design #webaccessibility #webdesign

“Parking is the only validation I need”
This was a fun one of my series that I’m think I’m going to call “Inking Feeling” (like “sinking feeling”… get it? And they’re usually illustrations about emotions.. get it???)
