Digital illustration made in Procreate depicting a warmly lit home office in the early 2000s. On the office desk is a teal and white early iMac G3. A black cat is half-crouched with the computer mouse in its mouth, staring at the viewer as though caught mid-hunt. The scene is littered y2k objects. The wall has a poster of Rihanna and of Britney Spears' "Oops!... I Did It Again" album cover. Items on the office desk include a blank CD stack, a pink lava lamp, a VHS on top of a Blockbuster case, and an old landline phone.

I have found a sticker storage solution that may or may not leave me very disappointed later on 🤠

A photo of my latest punch needle yarn piece; a yellow cat, mouth open wide, with a big flower petal collar. The background is a blurred photo of a flower field.

Last night after we turned our phones off we looked thru our back window and saw a candle on our neighbors porch across the alley. We put a candle on our own porch and then a few minutes later saw several others do the same in response. RIP Alex

It's sketching/ideation/playing with mediums time! While most of my "final" work ends up being in gouache or wax pastels, when I'm in my sketchbook I'm always reaching for ink.

#sketchbook #magpie #birdart #eurasianmagpie #birder #wildlifeart #wip #progressnotperfection
Photo of part of a sketchbook page. On the page are watercolour blobs in bright colours, each with a simple ink magpie drawing overlaid. This is a close up of the sneaky magpie, sort of crouched and stretching their beak forward as though to reach something. Low angle photo of the same page showing the TV in the background. A Twitch stream by ipaintbirbs is playing. A progress shot of the same sketchbook page. The ink and glass dip pen are shown at the sides of the shot. A completed magpie sketch is standing and looking over their shoulder with bill open. A magpie perching is in progress. A close up of a yellow watercolour patch with an inked magpie on it. The magpie is standing with their tail part raised.

AI 'art' is soulless to me. I can't truly call it art because it doesn't even meet the base level definition - 'expression' of 'human creativity and imagination'.

How can I feel emotion and interest from something that had none put into it?

I wrote way more on this on Insta if you're interested.

Stuck in the middle step -> finished! 💛✨

Sketchbook studies in gouache and wax pastel (Neocolor II).

#horse #horseart #horsesinart #equineart #equestrianart #equineportrait #warmblood #thoroughbred #sellefrancais #sketchbook
Photo of a sketchbook laid open on a desk, showing a page of paintings. The two painting studies are of horses' heads/faces in somewhat abstract colour palettes, with yellow circles behind them. The paintings are unfinished, with just main paint colours blocked in. The same sketchbook page, with the paintings finished with pastel details. The horses are stylised with back outline and semi realistic textural detail.

Willow ptarmigans 🥰 I'll admit I'm in a slight art slump right now and these are from a couple of weeks ago 😤 Anyone for ptarmigan stickers? Or is that a bit too obscure? 🤔

#birds #ptarmigan #willowptarmigan #birdart #wildlifeart #birdstickers
A page of small paintings of willow ptarmigans on grey paper. They are slightly stylised, and are surrounded by star and sparkle motifs. There is a side-on portrait of a male ptarmigan, a male ptarmigan running in snow, and two full body paintings of females. Close up of one of the female ptarmigans, showing more of the detail and texture of the wax pastel used for the plumage. Close up of the top part of the page: the male ptarmigan portrait against a pale blue halo, and a fluffed up female surrounded by yellow sparkles. Flatlay photo of the page on a desk, against a cork desk mat. It is next to another page of paintings, the tin of wax pastels, and a plate being used as a paint palette.

Went to Peak Wildlife Park last week and saw lowland tapirs and all sorts of other critters 💛 I took a sketchbook but it was just too cold to get it out and draw, so I looked at some refs when we got home 🥰

#sketchbook #wildlifeart #natureart #gouachepainting #peakwildlifepark
Painting of a baby lowland tapir lying down. It is slightly stylised with linework in a deep purple-brown and a single broad brush stroke in pale blue painted around its front end in a circle. Close up of sketchbook pages showing a tapir on a front-on three-quarter angle walking, and an unfinished side view of a walking tapir. The front-on tapir is a pencil sketch with black linework over the top and a painted blue circle behind. The unfinished tapir has a watercolour like base coat. Sketchbook page including the baby tapir painting and other partial pencil sketches of tapirs, including one standing and one chewing while lying down.

Two hamster ladies in Victorian casual dress, in their home. The room has violet wallpaper and a large framed painting of a violet flower, and a well-loved blue rug on the floor. One hamster sits in a comfortable velvet chair reading a book, while her wife brings her a cup of hot chocolate and is giving her an affectionate kiss.
