I made a book! I didn't write it but I illustrated it and bound it myself. I've been wanting to create children's books and I hope this is the start of that. This one won't be published. It's quite personal. But hopefully I can write and illustrate my own sometime in the near future.

Cleaning out the basement and came across these old attempts at my self portrait. I think these are all 3 years apart from 2015-2018. Oil paint.
Progression of a self portrait!

Graphite, prismacolor marker, and acrylic.
Sudan is suffering and along with mass displacement, women are facing increased sexual violence.

I had a solstice painting party with my son today using his Crayola paint set. This was the best I could do with them, lol.
Happy Winter Solstice.
Next painting will be with a medium I can better handle.

First #sketch session at Scarab Club Detroit and first time sketching a live model in years. It felt really good. Figure drawing was one of my favorite classes in college ❤️ I'd like to bring pastels or maybe a limited paint palette next time.
I hope I don't get reported for posting noods.

Today, I took my family to check out the Hatch gallery and then Hamtramck Disneyland afterward. Leaning into and building up our art communities is going to be more important now more than ever. It felt so great to be around my people with my people today ❤️

I caught my children observing our monarch caterpillars over the summer and illustrated the moment. I digitally colored it later on.

I'm looking for anyone out there who has self published a children's book. Particularly someone who both wrote and illustrated one. I'm curious about your experience, issues you encountered, and how difficult you found it. Also, any advice is more than appreciated. #kidlit #selfpublishing

He is right by they way. Always has been.

I meant to have this done by Halloween but I've been busy preparing for a big election.
While Juniper played with her cats so dear,
She felt the Christmas spirit drawing near.
Everyone ready for this quick pivot into the holiday hustle?

Inktober adventure. I came up with an idea for a character who is transported to another world called Thalorenmor. She discovers it after her grandmother's death.
Day 1 prompt was Backpack.

Hi Bluesky. First post. Here is one of my favorite #inktober entries of this year. Exotic animals of the mysterious world of Theloranmor.
