Hi Brian!
Here are some farm vehicles for an Oxford University Press book I worked on a little while ago. I linked my site with the case study if you want to read more about it. :)

Photo taken at my local grocery store of La Croix: Sunflower flavor. Or maybe it's sunshine flavor?

What flavor is this suppose to be?

Happy #MAR10Day!

Here's a magical Mario gouache I painted. "Here we go!"

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day!

I’m Michelle and I love space, drawing and fun colors! Here’s a recent cosmic piece of art inspired by an PB I’m working on about adventuring through the galaxy. 🖖

March is chilly in Michigan, and I'm impatient for spring to come! Here's a painting I made last night of Link. (I'm also impatient and hoping there will be a Switch 2: Legend of Zelda Windwaker re-release). 🤞

There is a lot of impatience and hoping happening with me.

Looking forward to spring days ahead! Here’s a coffee shop I illustrated a little while ago- it’s making me excited to hop on my bike again! ☀️

Sunday Morning Coffee Shop Workout! 🍵 🖌️

I’m always in a rush when I leave on a Sunday morning and I usually forget something. Last week it was my headphones. This week I forgot my watercolour travel box 🤦‍♀️. I improvised with a plastic drink top and some tubes of paint - it worked out ok!

I apple-solutely hope you have a happy Wednesday! Also, here are some fruit (and veggie) characters I made. Also, I love puns. Also, I'm sorry.

Crafty time with the kids: Cute Ghibli shadow box paper projects I brought back from Japan last year.

Watching a Windwaker play through with my 9 year old makes me really hope for a re-release on the switch 2. We’ve waited long enough!

Also, this game is more beautiful than I remember!

Doing some sketching during my son’s gymnastics class— the only thing more fun than drawing might be actually being on the trampoline!

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day!

So many talented artists posting today, I love seeing the community come together to share their art!

I'm sharing a poster I made for my local library for Library Card Signup Day. Even if you don't frequent your library, sign up for your card!

A couple years ago I worked on some Wumpus' & Friends stickers for Discord. I'm sharing the winter set, it feels pretty right on a day like today! ❄️ #illustration #discord #yeahhaus

I ❤️ costumed life drawing so much that when there wasn't a session in Detroit, I created a program with my library.

This one was special because my son Leo modeled with uncle Keith (Percy Jackson). It's wild seeing your kid take part in the art you love- It was a 'THIS is why you have kids' moment!

I've been working a bunch with Blender for illustration. I started out using it to block out my work to get a a correct perspective (I've always been terrible with perspective), but I really love that it helps me make simple but fun scenes.
