Hi Symon! Love the line work. Thanks for hosting. I’m TQ and here is my latest illustration work.
A gouache painting by tqispracticing.substack.com showing yellowish brown, tall, dead grass in the four ground, a green field in the mid ground, dark pine trees in the background with bright green highlights and a snippet of a hill. The bright blue sky is filled with wispy white clouds. A black ink illustration by tqispracticing.substack.com. It shows a dog barking at a herd of cows. They are walking down a gravel path. There is wild grass growing on either side of the gravel path. in the background are some pine trees, a tall fence, hills, the sky and clouds. From Nara's latest newsletter about life in Gahzaa with multiple sclerosis and cancer: "I wish I could record the sound of the terrifying wohr planes and children screaming in fear this morning. I assure you, no one slept in the entire Gahzaa Strip last night. I thought my two kids had been warm but they told me they were cold. How can one bear all this? "You know what is even more tiring in this wohr? The extreme rise in prices! Although the goods we buy - vegetables, fruits, and clothes - are regular items... I swear it's a crime. Honestly, everything in Gahzaa is missing except deh-th. It is the only thing available for free, in all its shapes and forms." Nara needs fresh produce to manage her M.S. symptoms. Help her family afford fresh fruit and veggies by contributing at tinyurl.com/disablednara. If you can't contribute at this time, join Nara's free newsletter now at tinyurl.com/narainnercircle and get her next story on Monday, a free e-zine, and her book launch news! BEGIN IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Both images have chrome yellow backgrounds and green, black, red, and white accents. The text and links in the images are the same as in the caption. ID1: An illustration of Nara in a red headscarf and a white pyjama top, lying on the ground with her arms around her two kids. The older kid on the left has long curly brown hair and is wearing a black hairband and pyjama top. The younger kid on the right also has long curly brown hair, bangs, and is wearing a green pyjama top. The kids are holding onto each other and Nara. All three of them have looks of distress on their faces as they struggle to sleep under a grey blanket. ID2: An illustration of Nara in a red headscarf, black sweater, white top, and green skirt at the market. She is holding up a tomato and looking dismayed at its price. In her right hand is a pink plastic bag. In front of Nara is a brown table with cucumbers, potatoes, a bag of flour, and a blue crate of tomatoes. END IMAGE DESCRIPTION.
