Every year Typism works with #internationalwomensday to create a theme that creatives can participate in as a part of their creative mission, and last years’ theme was #accelerateaction

This piece was created using @cavalry.app and some #patataschool knowledge

I’m a little worried to upload this one because of the music but I created 31 #animated lyric videos based on #sabrinacarpenter songs last October and want to share it here. I still can’t believe I was able to complete this challenge. I used #letteringstylechallenge prompts from Aurelie Maron

Kinda late but did you guys stock up on #art / #craft supplies when #Joanns was closing? I didn’t go there often but I’m happy that Michael’s is going to continue making selling their yarn for all the crocheting and knitting people out there.
This was my #haul as well as a few random things

I made a long form yt video reviewing 3 different #artists patroons and TLDW #lotusbubble has the best one for value #arteducation #howtodrawanimegirl

Have you ever tried an artists’ Patreon? I tried 3 on my Yt channel and 1 was a clear winner. If you want the TLDW I’ll post about the best one soon.

#art inspired by a #summer full of #biking #mtb

I actually made this video last year but I didn’t have a blue sky acct then so it seemed like a good time to repost!

I don’t think I recorded this drawing but I might still have the animation on my computer 🤨 so I’ll upload that eventually! This is actually a #dtiys so the original character is by Taylea/Sketch Scholar

This is #fanart I drew for the book #voiceoftheocean have you heard of it??? I’m not very far in the book yet, but I wanted to make some #mermay #art for it since the main #character is a #siren

Random #mushroom #illustrator #3d thing I wanted to try

Here’s a rare #nomadsculpt piece inspired by the #queenofhearts character holding a #muffin

Also big thanks to @moravieytesillustration for inspiring me to #3dsculpt some hearts with her wonderful tutorials

A new medium I’d like to get into as a #motiondesigner is #animatedpatterns but I don’t know if this will be easy for business owners to implement into their #branding and social media strategies.
This isn’t the best example of what I mean since it is just the image scrolling but imagine

Here’s how this piece turned out. Do you think something like this would work on a product? Like a notebook or scrapbook, maybe a paper bag at a bakery 🤔

This is another #pattern I attempted to #design based on selfies and eclairs 🧁🍰🥐 back in February based on a mixture of prompts from different #art challenges going on at the time.

Are there any fun challenges going on this Summer here on Bluesky??
June 11, 2025 at 4:20 PM
This was how it turned out btw 🤗

I was originally trying to make a functional #pattern out of this an gave up halfway through just to finish the piece 🤣

Do you make patterns? #Surfacedesign and #artlicensing are some of the hustles that have been on my mind this year but I haven’t truly dived in yet. Maybe this is my month 🤪
June 10, 2025 at 2:13 PM
Fellow artists- do you think drawing timelapses / process videos do well on Bluesky?

I would assume that this is not a video pushing platform, but we can post them so I’m curious if you’ve had success with videos here 🤷‍♀️ so many platforms prioritize them so I think it’s always handy to know

Last October I made an #animated piece every day based off of #sabrinacarpenter #lyrics

If you want to see all of the pieces, you can find a reel showing them all on the personal tab on my website 🤗

I went full-time as a motion designer this year and am seeing real traction on Upwork. Even with just a couple of reviews, I get invited to jobs + chat directly with clients—no connects needed.

Thanks to the awesome clients so far 🙏

This is a #3D piece I made as part of a #february / #valentines challenge where I tried to make something different everyday following prompts {these prompts being milkshake, love potion, and moon I believe}
I created this using #blender and #greasepencil

Here’s some #lettering #fanart I made for the #percyjackson #Disney+ series. The illustration behin the letters was directly based on a frame early in the show. I think they did a pretty good job with S1 and while I wait for S2 I’m trying to read this Nico di Angelo book (it’s free on Hoopla!)

Shoutout to all of the #summer birthdays coming up

I made this #type piece to try out animation in Adobe Express for a challenge and honestly was not impressed. Idk if it just had issues that day but it wasn’t working at all so I’ll stick with AE 😅 it must’ve been a fluke because I see ppl using it
May 24, 2025 at 2:08 PM
These are some #3D numbers I created in #nomadsculpt for #36dot last year

I completed a course made by Nebenzu and recently bought his new one, so I should be making more #3dlettering pieces here soon 👀
May 23, 2025 at 4:26 AM
This is a #lettering piece I made based on an inside joke. The language is Italian and I believe implies the shark 🦈 I coming, or here arrives the shark. Obviously I don’t speak the language but I love how the piece turned out and would love to do more #art like it
