It’s never too late to finish what I’ve started. Unless I’m dead. So instead, I do this now. #watercolorpainting #paintinginprogress #artcommission #traditionalart #stevenuniverse #diamonds

To the ex coworker I ran into after a decade: I’m sorry I forgot your name. When I told you what I do for work, your response became an infected splinter in my brain.

This is not an isolated incident. Journaling to remove it from my mind. #journal #artjournal #timelapse

I’ve been working to create a character for each zodiac sign and finally decided on outer space for a theme. Here is the initial sketch for Aries, plus a slice of cat ham.

Illustration of an outer space character personifying the zodiac sign Aries. They have blonde rams horn hair and are wearing a pink and yellow space suit against a deep blue galaxy background.

A photo of my black cat, on his back, legs splayed, and wild eyed. He has not a thought nor care in the world! I spoil him.

I know her arms are exceptionally long here, sometimes the feeling of the drawing is more important.

Gillian_A_Gogo @gillianagogo.bsky.social · Feb 17

I bought a new sketchbook! So I did a quick sketch of Agnes with pencil and watercolor pencil. I usually reserve the watercolor pencils for marking fabric projects prior to painting. They are too waxy feeling on the tooth of the paper. #agnes #quicksketch #originalart #blackcat #watercolorpencil

Agnes is an original character. She is a unique type of zombie or preserved human. She is illustrated here with green skin, teal hair and her signature red dress.

A photo of a very innocent looking black cat in repose before he sprints away! Don’t be fooled by his wide eyes.

I did warn you all about my mushroom obsession right? #feverdream #mushroomart #mushroomstickers

Live Flashy or Die @liveflashyordie.bsky.social · Sep 4

These little mushrooms are the first stickers I ever made back in 2017. They started my obsession with stickers. Now they are back and better than ever! You share them or keep them all as a set! liveflashyordie.etsy.com

Confession: I have two accounts. This one is meant for art, but the one below is meant for my shop full of retro monsters, and rollerskating, and some halloween fun stuff. Spread the word. 🌈❤️🎃

Putting myself out there with this series of vintage inspired Pumpkin headed keychains. I originally called the series Gourd Ghouls! Why did I stray… liveflashyordie.etsy.com #pumpkinkeychain #pumpkinhead #halloweenart #nightmarket #vintagehalloween #gourdghouls #smallbusiness #independentartist

This thread is writer GOLD.

Adam taught me the "looking forward to your thoughts" thing, and it really is a game changer! Not just to the editor (though it is), but to MYSELF.

It cut me off from pre-groveling about the quality of my work. It stopped me trying to read an editor's mind...

Adam Rogers @jetjocko.bsky.social · Sep 3

(2/n) The first one is, when you kick in your draft, don’t tell the editor everything wrong with it, apologize for length, whatever. Say: “here’s the draft, looking forward to your thoughts.” That’s it. Stop there. It’ll be the hardest thing you ever wrote.

Sometimes I stumble across screenshots of my art from long ago! Commissioned art that’s been living at a new house for YEARS and all the insecurities come flooding back. This #loki could have stayed hidden, but I’m grateful for the love and support! #lokifanart #watercolorart #fanart #marvelfanart

An old watercolor portrait of Tom Hiddleston’s Loki in a unique suit. I’m embarrassed, but want to share my art journey. Portraits are not my strength and that’s okay. Someone loves this piece and that makes me happy.

Let’s revisit this curling beauty on a rainy day. Watercolor art in a weird velvet backed clay frame. I forget who I sold it to, but am happy it has a good home. #framedart #watercolorpainting #watercolorart #watercolorflowers

A photo of a framed watercolor painting. The frame is white and swirling like a wallpaper pattern. The painting is a vibrant watercolor of human elements. face, mouth, tongue curled and touching the teeth, plus four or more eyes hidden amongst a storm of flowers and petals. The colors are pink, yellow, warm blue, white and orange.

This one is a little more subtle, a very small amount of amanita beneath the dead leaves. This image is about the sound of leaves under my boots.

Neat trick, I used rubbing alcohol for the rock textures.

#watercolorart #art #illustration #handdrawn #watercolorpainting

This is a watercolor illustration by Galexiel_art. The setting is a dark grey, blue and brown forrest. A woman in a satin red dress, leather boots and lace fingerless gloves climbs out from between the rocks. She is staring directly at the viewer, her long wavy brown hair framing her face.

Today I will slowly begin acclimating you to my obsession with mushrooms. You won’t even notice at first, then suddenly we’ve been friends for years!

Acrylic painting on canvas. Stolen in the streets of Seattle.

#acrylicpainting #art #mushroomart

Acrylic painting of a girl kneeling in the grass. The girl is a mushroom girl, white flesh and red amanita hat. She kneels amidst a fairy ring of several small amanita. A crown of yellow light hangs above her mushroom head like an aurora.

I love drawing flowers and repetitive shapes, although I may not depict them accurately. #faun #watercolorart #art #illustration #madebyhand #mythologicalcreature

An overwhelmingly pink watercolor illustration of a faun. She has gentle white speckle freckles on her peach skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes. There are three points on each antler and she is surrounded by a ring of green leaves and pink tropical flowers. She has a deep appreciation and respect for all life.
