A woman on the tube in a mint green jumper drinks a massive cup of coffee, the expression on her bird-like face of waiting for it to kick in.

Art by Luci Power. Words by me.
A watercolour of a woman on the Tube carrying a large. take-away coffee cup. She wears a green jumper and black, high-heeled boots. Her head is a bird's head with a large beak - probably based on a pelican.

Sometimes you make a drawing you love, but it is an extremely awkward and impractical shape 🤷🏻‍♂️
Drawing against a stark black background of an aged looking human skeleton covered in red flowers and various flying and crawling insects.

For #WorldJellyfishDay it’s a smack of jellyfish! 🐡🧪

The collective noun for a group of jellyfish is a “smack”. This amuses me, because I imagine them smacking their tentacles together in some sort of deepsea high five. To be honest, marine biologists speak of ‘blooms’ and we do tend to lump
As described this linocut shows 3 different species of jellyfish with the words ‘A smack of jellyfish’. I show them smacking their tentacles together in some sort of deepsea high five. I've included only those translucent, tentacled umbrella-shaped creatures, which are truly jellyfish, or the major non-polyp form of individuals of the phylum Cnidaria. The typography I designed for the words represents their meaning; "smack" mimics the motion of a smack with the letters colliding; the word "Jellyfish" is made of tentacle and bell-shaped letters. These linoleum block printed jellyfish are printed on Japanese kozo, or mulberry paper. The block is inked 'à la poupée', meaning the multiple colours (blue-black, navy, pale violet and pink ink) are all inked at the same time, in small areas, and the print is pulled all at once. Each print is 15.5" by 12.5" or 39 cm by 32 cm in dimension.

This may also work for #SensoryArt #rainbows
A drawing on an iPad of a colorful background of circles. The top part has yellow dots for various constellations. The middle part looks cut out and has stars hanging on chains over a hilly 2-dimension area with white fuzzy sheep. The bottom part also has a cut out with some yellow fuzzy sheep.

Watercolor painting by Rosalind Allchin. Blue flag iris seed pods. #botanicalart
A large watercolor painting of dried out seed pods surrounded by dead leaves. That doesn't explain the depth of colours in the browns or the movement in the composition. Beautiful.
