Quote your art with glasses on!

Despite being an oft bespeckled human myself, I almost never draw characters with glasses and didn’t realize! Must remedy. This is an oldie.
A ginger with a magnifying glass looks down at a snail. They have blue glasses and a lavender bag with books. A fairy robot critter hovers nearby ready to offer a celery snack to the snail.

I’ve been drawing since I was little. At 13 I found Amy Brown, learned painting faeries for a living was an option, and became dead set on it. Was told to get a business or teaching degree and ignored all of it and just learned fine art. Then after some stumbles I refound my love of making books!

Got a delightfully surreal email yesterday from a previous client asking if I had any originals available. Of which they then bought THREE. I feel like a Renaissance Era Artist, thanking my Wealthy Patron for their generous support of my work.

Three paintings on a striped carpet floor. Upper left is a stump fellow with green tree shadows in the background. Below, a little bee fairy and a bee. On the right is a scene with a mossy fantasy turtle in a pond, two fairy creatures riding on its back, dragonflies in the air. All three are sold and the artist is gleeful.

Red underpainting is FUN.
#wip #gouache #painting #art #artist
A painting in progress of a faerie person with a stump hat and a wreath of leaves of a dark background. Messy painting supplies can be seen behind the small easel.

Never have I ever done a red underpainting! Very curious to see how this goes.
#wip #gouache #painting #art #artist
A painting in progress. The paper has a red wash on it. There are messy palettes and brushes and a moth printed mug.

In the studio today.
#artstudio #cozy #caturday #paintinginprogress
A messy desk with a light pad and a watercolor painting being transferred. There is a snail brush holder, an ivy plant, and my sketchbook and glasses. You can see sun out my window. A big window with a bookshelf on the left with a brown tabby cat sleeping in the sun. On the right a floral print chair with a tortiseshell cat curled in a nest. There’s a big frog stuffie and lots of objects. Vines hang by the windows.

I made a print of this one because I am unreasonably smitten with it. I don’t even know what I’m going to do with it. Just smitten.
#frogs #artprint
A print of a whole bunch of frogs smashed up against the frame. The frogs are all green hues and googly eyes and the background is dark teal. One has its tongue stuck to the screen.

I had the incredible good fortune of spending the weekend in a treehouse surrounded by oak trees. This was the drawing I did during my stay.

#sketchbook #fantasyart #elf #art #Artist
A pencil sketchbook drawing of an oak tree elf. They have a tree stump hat and an acorn necklace. A chipmunk sits on their shoulder, a tiny fairy is at the door of the stump hat, and a tiny harpy bird is perched on top. There’s a full moon and a leafy border.

Qobuz is a great alternative!

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!

Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.
Stock of Spotify over last month showing sharp decline, from near $700 in value to $615.

Pulling out all the old spoopy art and wondering if I’ve got the guts to do some sort of artober challenge this year…
#pumpkin #procreateart #autumn #illustration
Autumn leaves frame a misty field and a pumpkin headed ghoul and friend go skipping along the wood fence.

All the frogs. And they’re all gay.
#frog #frogs #drawtober25 #art #artist #procreateart #gayfrogs
Many blue green frogs are smooshed right up to the screen of your phone. One has its tongue stuck to the screen. They’re all googly eyed and adorable.

A bonsai tree who is also a little person. They’re holding a glowy blue stone and a ladybug is sitting on their head.

Swamp king 👑 he gets awarded king of the swamp every year. It comes with no duties or expectations. Everyone is very happy for him and the coronation is obviously clothing optional, because it’s a swamp.
#frog #swamp #cuteart #art #artist #drawtober25 #artober25
A frog is being crowned king of the swamp by a pixie creature. Lots of pixies and faeries and purple willothewisps are sitting on lily pads.

If you see this, post a witch!

#witch #art #artist #witchcraft #herbalist #cottagecore
A red haired witch in a green pointy hat makes a tea or a potion in her kitchen. A window on the left lets in light, illuminating shelves with many bottles and a black iron stove. Herbs hang from the ceiling.

Fishhh 🐟
#drawtober25 #fish #fishing #cat #art #artist
A wooden dock in blue green water. A patchwork cat is marching off with a big silver fish, which it clearly stole from the bucket. There’s a green fishing box.

My kitties as #animalcrossing villagers for #drawtober day 17.
#cats #procreateart #art #artist
Two animal crossing style cats on a small grassy green circle. The tortoiseshell cat is seated in the grass reading a book. The brown tabby has broken his bug catching net and is losing a grasshopper, but he doesn’t seem to care as he leaps after a yellow butterfly.

Drawtober prompt: Grandma Strawberry 🍓
More like great grandmother. She’s the matriarch of the gnome family Strawberry, and the flag is their crest. Grandma Strawberry is kind and strong.
#strawberry #gnome #drawtober25 #art #artist
Four gnome ladies, all ginger, no doubt related. A family crest with a central strawberry in a green field flies behind them. Each gnome wears a red pointed hat, as is tradition.
