This week’s #drawtober prompt was #toadastrologer. I went old school-a caftan and turban were a must. 😉

I told myself that I would only do #drawtober this year if I kept it fun. We’ll see how that goes. 😅 Here’s my #candelitmessenger.

For this week’s #printmaking class we had to make a reduction print. It was a little bit of a mind-bender planning out the process of working back to front and light to dark, but I figured it out in the end, chatter and all. 😅

My latest #printmaking class assmt was to design a #bookplate. I was going traditional w/ “Ex Libris,” but the owl pun could not be denied.
Here’s my key block, a stamp test(checking for chatter), and one of the two-color prints. Registration is challenging.😅

Artists are showing how much more interesting the world is when human hearts & minds make things instead of putting stolen work into a blender. Here’s my contribution to the #starterpacknoai trend. #art #illustrator #kidlitart

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! The Rodeo just left Houston. I love seeing the culmination of all the hard work done by the livestock kids.

I'm a multimedia illustrator focused on board books, and seeking representation.

Figured I’d share a few of the #printmaking designs I made for class. For these I tried using up my easy-carve. A few of the prints were rushed, but I really enjoyed the reintroduction to printmaking & I’m looking forward to exploring further. ☺️ #illustration #beginnerprintmaking #linoprint

For #printmaking class, we’re supposed to use watercolors on our print. I hate water colors 😅 but I did it anyway. I’m actually really happy with the results so far!
The last three months of not being instantly good at an art skill has been good for me. I’m constantly #battlingperfectionism.

The crocuses bloomed this past warm week where we enjoyed a 79F day before plunging down to 27F today with possible snow later. *sigh*…spring 🌱🌸

I know it’s not #Caturday yet, but setting up here without including my studio manager, feels wrong. Meet Willow.

My joints have had enough working in the garden today, so I’m back in the studio carving linoleum for my #printmaking class assignment. Really happy with how this section turned out. On to the next letter!

I love when I can lean into playing with #lettering when I’m making art. This is a snippet of a much larger design for a #printmaking class that I started carving today. It’s inspired by some of my favorite things-native plants.
