Been doing this under the radar art project at work. I draw on the inter office envelopes and then send the back out into the ether. Been doing it over a year now. A few people have guessed it is me. Posting some of them here.

Here’s my monthly calendar that I create for co-workers. Novembers hard—it’s my 3rd November, so I wanted something different from what I’ve done before. I found inspiration in bright, primary-colored fall art and created “Into the Woods.” #Art #AcrylicPainting #Painting #OriginalArt #PrimaryColors

with acrylic paint on 12x18 watercolor paper. The artwork shows the silhouette of a deer standing among tall, dark tree trunks. The left side glows with layered reds, oranges, and yellows representing the colors of fall, while the right side shifts into a deep blue night sky dotted with faint stars, creating a striking contrast between the warmth of autumn and the coolness of night. The painting rests on fallen leaves.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

This dapper gentleman rabbit is part of my portrait series on interoffice envelopes. I’ve loved #Steampunk for decades, so I drew this refined rabbit with gears, goggles, and charm. My small contribution to the world of steampunk style.

#Art #MarkerArt #OriginalArt #BSkyArt #SkyArt #AltText

A detailed marker drawing titled Tea at the Gearworks shows a steampunk rabbit standing beneath an ornate arch reminiscent of an old theater or bar. The rabbit wears round goggles and a tall top hat decorated with brass gears, pipes, and tiny machinery. He’s dressed in a waistcoat and long brown coat over a T-shirt printed with a steampunk-style heart—split open to reveal inner gears. Behind him, the arch’s curved frame is lined with small gear motifs and industrial flourishes, suggesting a mix of elegance and mechanical craftsmanship. The drawing is on a reused interdepartmental envelope with blacked-out writing, adding texture and contrast to the image. In the bottom corner, the work is signed by the artist.

A close-up view of Tea at the Gearworks focuses on the rabbit’s upper body and head. His brass goggles glint over one eye, and his top hat tilts slightly, showing off detailed gears and tiny tubing. His expression is calm and curious, as though he’s waiting for company. The texture of the reused interdepartmental envelope shows faint text, scribbles, and punch holes behind the art, giving the mechanical fantasy character a grounded, tactile feel. The shading in warm browns and golds enhances the vintage steampunk mood. In the corner, the artwork is signed by the artist.

We have a lot of native coneflowers in our yard — and #Bees! 🐝 We try to keep everything native in our gardens to help #NativeBees and other native friends like birds and insects.

A drawing titled Late Summer Dinner on a yellow inter-office envelope. The art shows a small bee hovering above three pinkish-purple coneflowers with golden centers and green stems. Scribbled-out names and writing from the reused envelope peek through the drawing, adding texture and layers to the scene. The bee’s wings are outlined with “Buzz” handwritten nearby, giving it a playful touch. The piece captures a late summer moment of nature’s calm persistence amid the ordinary office world.

I felt like showing the folder of all my #EnvelopeArt I’ve done so far. It’s been such a fun ongoing project, turning old inter-departmental envelopes into tiny art pieces. Hope you think it’s cool, amazing, or at least interesting to look at.
