This made me think of some great political posters from the series Z Nation. I'm not sure which artists made these but they're brilliant. Totally relevant, fighting zombies or fighting politics...

A lil video of a #storyboard for some very interesting advertising company that totally didn't drop me at the last minute because of DEI cuts. Really proud of what I did for the amount of time I was given though! And the agency I worked with was rad. I WILL storyboard my heart out despite it!

My little box frame cat <3 in memory of Kitsune, the fluffiest boy. Every part of this was enjoyable. I love making tiny, detailed things, and being challenged, and finishing something in a day or 2 is my best case scenario. will definitely try more sculpts like this

The progression. what do you think? It's interesting because at no point in the process did this look how I wanted it to, but by the end it was just like I imagined. The creative process is so exciting and confusing and FUN. I'm not even sure how I got here. Alter dimensional creations !
An unpainted version of my polymer sculpts depicting a cat sitting inside a frame surrounded by flowers Some flowers and leaves are painted as well as the background. Slow going All the leaves and flowers are now painted and kitsunes base coat is on. Finally done. All the highlights and shading has been done and kitsune is complète. I love how he turned out

First time I've been commissioned to do a #mosaic for someone's farm house. Depicting some iconic features like the 2 calves they're bottle feeding, sunflowers, widow birds, cosmos flowers, their windmill, koppie and bits of sandstone I collected for the border. Super fun to design and create!

Showing my #polymer clay sculpts, including the worry stones and how they work. The rest is so tiiiiny. I'm not quite sure how I did it except by phasing to another dimension. Did I mention my cat beans?? I had some left over clay and decided I needed little totems of my other cats <3

Progress so far. I was pleasantly surprised with how well these came out. It was a meditation challenge to work so tiny, & in #polymer clay again...which i haven't used in years. Somehow my skills have leveled up since then, and it was more enjoyable than I remember! What do you think of the colors?
A green picture frame with sculpted plants in polymer clay decorating the border, and a squishy cat inside surrounded by plants. Still blank and unpainted A wide image of all the pieces getting painted All the elements back onto the frame, with the painted plants and flowers back on. It's starting to look like spring time

Working on some teeny projects! Including a little #memorial piece for my cat, Kitsune, who passed away a few weeks ago at the old age of 18 <3 I miss him dearly.
The idea was a little picture frame with him in his favorite garden spot surrounded by plants and flowers.
Jonesy approved with a snuff
Blank clay sculpts of a little cat, many kinds of plants and flowers, two worry stones, one with cat ears, and three little cat beans. a picture of a worry stone with cat ears that I sculpted, with my finger in the indent to show how it works my initial sketches playing with different cat body shapes and compositions in the frame. My cat jonesy giving the sculpts an approving snuff and nearly eating one...

I never ask questions on places online, because I think the feedback would be a trash fire.
But, how is everyone coping with the state of the world? Or themselves? Reply in meme form if you like. I'll start
a simple line art drawing of a kitten crying, staring at a brain on the floor. Wonky text reads: Why it no work. I need to make money." Text at the top: How are you? Picture of a fence with a banner on it, half falling down, covering parts of the writing. Whats left reads "not dead. Still alive."

A lil art recap of the last year of my art. Mostly snippets from my experiments and personal work in procreate, my favorite doodle form. BEHOLD, THE NONSENSE

An adorably weird illustration of a platymoose (the very metal love child of a moose and platypus) staring at the camera, with the words “platymoose Art Recap 2024” written on it.

I call it. Pooterus.
I mean, I think that's all I need to say, right?
Hormones are annoyingly complex but there's no reason my coping techniques have to be ! Just draw it.
#pooterus
A cartoon drawing of a uterus with a horrified look on it's face (yes, it's face) stepping in a pile of stinky poop. Text reads : A uterus stepping in poop. Pretty self explanatory and I think indicates my feelings on the matter fairly well! My uterus stepped in a poop and I had to deal with it's horror and my own.

Further journeys in staring at my face until I have an identity crisis. Who is that person? Can I even draw anymore? How large are jaws really? What If I just ERASE EVERYTHING
But also look at those cute horns who doesn’t love a good mythical animal hat

A pencil sketch of a girl smiling at the camera, with long wavey hair on one side and short cropped hair on the other. She’s wearing a hoodie and a platymoose cap, referencing a hat she made herself of her mythical mascot: the love child of a platypus and a moose. It has crazy googly eyes and two cute chibi antlers. On the side is a cartoon drawing of a big jawed girl wearing the same cap with the caption: That jaw tho. It’s a big jaw. I think I have a big jaw but I’m going with it because it’s the only one I have

Ever wonder why youre a hideous human being and then remember its just because you cant draw and you spent the last hour creating a mutant humonculous of yourself and now it’s all you can see so you print it and smash it for therapy?

It is cheaper than therapy
A pencil sketch of a girl wearing a platymoose cap, smiling at the camera. In the corner is a badly drawn chibi cartoon version of her growling angrily and standing on a dead platymoose. Did she kill it? Who knows. But its ghost is leaving its body dramatically. Whats a platymoose you ask? A beautiful and majestic creature that is the fortunate love child of a platypus and a moose.

I have stories that I’m too afraid to tell, that are deep & personal. Will the act of telling them rip me wide open, tear me apart? Will the weight of not finding them, suffocate me? I want my art to help me be more honest, with myself, with the world. It’s a scary process

A neon painting of two girls staring at each other. The one is smiling reassuringly at the other, while holding the other’s face in her hands. They’re surrounded by a heart outline with the words “Together” underneath. The style is rough and painterly with a pixelised texture.

Playing with colors and rendering, two of my enemies !! * hisses *
A devilish looking alt girl looking at the camera. She’s got slanted eyes with devorative patterns around them, her hair is neon turquoise and she has spacers as ear piercings. She’s wearing an oversized jacket with fish bone designs in neon orange. She’s pulling a weird hand sign like a double fingered hand-gun, some archaic symbol with magical smoke emanating from her fingers. She has magical tattoos on her fingers and hand. The background is neon pink and orange, an experiment of style and color

Uurrrghh the flu and existential ennui make doing anything very difficult.
I’m trying to make progress on - well - anything.
Have a doodle while i try and figure out how i can illustrate again while my life falls apart \o/

A rough sketch drawn in soft yellow pencil on a black background. A young girl is curled up in a bubble that is surrounded and protected by flowy leaves, flowers and plants. It looks dreamy and gloomy at the same time. Text at the bottom reads: GENTLE SOUL

I caught some awful demon flu, so I'm sticking with the only remedy I know. Bed, books and cats !

I’m a chronically ill artist trying to spread joy and whimsy through my art! I love drawing animals as they’re silly, sweet and give so much comfort and love. I also draw a lot of comics and funny illustrations about my life. I hope to build a network of supportive artists!

Procreate has changed my life, that and having a portable digital drawing device! I do 90% of my illustrations on there and love it. Its increased my sketching frequency and I don’t even miss a physical sketchbook anymore
A happy and energetic corgi facing the camera, big ears and blue eyes, it has hearts around it’s head with text that says “Hi!” Bright colors A very sweet one eyed cat looking at the camera inquisitively, surrounded by a bright green border and little hearts floating around it A black and white ink wash drawing of two wolves lying on the ground next to each other, touching noses. The one wolf has its paws around the others head and neck. Little hearts surround them A feral girl looks at the camera while clinging to a large, protective wolf. She’s in a deep, dark forest, with a bloody paw print marking her forehead. Leaves drift around them, gloomy
