I was deeply disappointed by the lack of nature/science/climate/enviro on many major end-of-year book lists—so I decided to make my own!

Thursday #artshare time! Share the art that feels most most quintessentially YOU
Here’s my take on a book cover for Emma by Jane Austen! Started with a pencil sketch as the base. Dreaming of illustrating a historical fiction cover one day! 🌸 #Emma #JaneAusten

Art drawn by people who very rarely make art and think they are “bad at art” is 1000x cooler than AI art. It’s life-affirming. It’s often unexpected. I cannot overemphasize how much I love when people just go for it. You do not need the machine for this human endeavor.

One of the reasons I love working traditionally is because it requires a lot of problem solving, *especially* with mixed media. You need to know your materials really well, know how to layer them, how they work together and you need to have a decent grasp on color theory.
