Day 18 #artadvent

A...
...
?

(I'm sure someone knows)

#artadventcalendar
A flying insect of some kind (photographer has no idea). It is fuzzy, and whiteish with a big black spot on its back. It has wings that kind of look like a single pair of dragonfly wings. 6 thin legs. A proboscis. It sits on the textured wall of a pool.

#artadvent day 16

A grackle.

A proud weirdo.

#artadventcalendar
A black bird (grackle) sits among the branches of a mesquite tree. There are sparse leaves remaining, but they work to frame the bird. It looks of to the side, plotting what strange thing it wants to do next. Play with sticks? Put something in the birdbath? Sing songs to the mothership? Who can say. Only the grackle knows.

#ArtAdventCalendar day 14 #FilmPhotography. More horses! This is Sundance, on Rollei RPX 400
Black and white photo of a horse facing the camera, with her head, taking up a large part of the frame. You can see veins on her face and wrinkles around her eye and a few flies. There are a few nearly invisible drops of water falling from her muzzle.

#ArtAdventCalendar 8 - tiny dragon in a peach blossom from 2023
#art #dragon
Digital art of a top down view through a peach tree, some fruit and blossoms visible through the leaves, and one blossom in the center with a tiny purple dragon curled up in the flower, long and snake like with a pair of feather wings. It is dark and rain showers down from above, droplets of water running down the leaves.

A digital painting of some arctic terns swooping through a blue sky streaked with clouds. One is higher and flying straight towards the viewer, another, lower and further away, arcs downward.

I missed day 13. Ooops.
For #artadvent day 14, I bring cat tidings as apology.

#artadventcalendar
A black cat sits outside on grey pavers. She has yellowish green eyes. She is not looking at the camera, because the camera has been in her face a lot today, and she is an outside cat, and unused to publicity and fame. She has a tipped ear to signify the time that two well meaning people trapped her and took her to get TNR only to discover she was already fixed, and thus learned that technically she belongs to some neighbors who just got her from the shelter and put her directly outside. Don't worry though. The photographer takes care of her and feeds her and the cat doesn't really go "home" anymore, but neither does she want to be inside the photographer's house for any extended amount of time.

Hello #PortfolioDay!

I'm Aisha, a Black disabled freelance illustrator based in NYC with almost 20 years of experience, looking for work in editorial, book covers, & TTRPGs. I love color, romance, fantasy, and adventure and try to express that in my work.

Abby Saja and Romance Saja sharing an intimate moment as Abby catches The chain of Romance's necklace between his teeth. Both are shirtless and backlit by a white background. A digital illustration of Mira from Kpop Demon Hunters sandwiched between Romance Saja and Abs Saja, done in the style of the infamous Twelfth Night promo pic with Audra McDonald, Anne Hathaway, and Raul Esparza. It's very pink and sparkly, like a scene from a kdrama. Except slightly horny because Romance and Abby are shirtless. A Procreate illustration of Seonghwa from ATEEZ holding a glowing sword across his chest. He is surrounded by writhing red tentacles that he is prepared to battle. An illustration of a black woman in a long flowing white dress against an abstract starry sky. Her curly hair is haloed in blue while a bolt of glowing yellow light pierces her chest.

A desert sunset

#artadventcalendar
A view of the sunset. It starts almost black at the top, then moves to grey, blue grey, light grey, white, then orange in a gradient. The foreground in shadow shows a palm tree on the right side is the image, and other trees further away.

Day 9 #artadvent

New York overcome by clouds

#artadventcalendar
A grouping of buildings. The sides of some reflect more buildings. The sky is cloudy. The clouds are coming in low enough to obscure the tops of some of the structures.

An owl harried by the wind. And possibly annoyed at being photographed.

#artadventcalendar
A great horned owl sits in a tree. It appears to be looking at the photographer with disdain while its feathers are being pushed around by wind.

Woodcut print
LE of 22 signed and numbered prints. Part of the ARCANUM BESTIARUM by Robert Fitzgerald. #art #woodcut #printmaking #bestiary #ArtAdventCalendar
A slender vertical rectangular black ink woodcut printed on cream colored paper. A raven with raised wings is perched upon a stoppered rounded bottle, leaning down with a key in its beak. A fire burns under the bottle and within it an anatomical floats in liquid, with steam emerging from the arteries and veins at the top.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 7: the Carolina satyr is a local butterfly that's easy to overlook because it's very small, flits for a long time before sitting down, and favors shady wooded habitats. It also sometimes chooses a perch that serves as camouflage, but this one's eyes gave it away.

It is day 7 if #artadvent

I feel like showing off the stickers I designed this year.

#artadventcalendar
A black and grey background highlights a showing of stickers. At the top left is a sparkly sticker that says "nope!" in purple with a rainbow border. Next to it is a little brown mouse enjoying a ride in a white roller skate that has rainbows at the toe and heel and blue wheels and stopper. On the right side is an orange jack-o-lantern lollypop with a great big smile. Under that is a wrapped Halloween candy, light orange and darker orange striped, also with a big happy smile. On the left side is a sheet of stickers, there are three of the wrapped candy design, and two of the lollypop, additionally there are several candy corn (white, orange, and yellow) scattered all over the page in the blank spaces between the other designs.

Post your blue art! 💙🩵
A dark and moody illustration of a floating seemingly possessed young woman in a 1950s style red dress with a stained hem. Her clawed hands and bare feet are stained red with blood as she grimaces, red lips parted to reveal yellowed teeth. Her eyes glow an infernal red as her black hair floats wildly in the air above her. Behind her is a dark background cracked like a broken mirror. A digital illustration of a humanized Sussie the magpie from Kpop Demon Hunters. He is wearing a traditional Korean gat and a black and white hanbok. He is smiling mischievously as he touches the brim of his hat with a clawed hand. An illustration of a black woman in a long flowing white dress against an abstract starry sky. Her curly hair is haloed in blue while a bolt of glowing yellow light pierces her chest. A blue-toned digital illustration of a many walking up the grand stairway of a decrepit mansion. The only sources of light are the flashlight in his hand and the moonlight streaming through a cracked window on the stairway's landing. There are ghosts watching from a doorway and the foyer, but the man seems oblivious.
