Classy lady with a cocktail has a bright idea 🍹💡 #illustration #digitalart

A woman wearing a red sweater and green skirt is sitting in an egg chair while working a cocktail in one hand, and a magazine in the other. She has a thought bubble with a lightbulb inside, she has a witty smile.

Well, maybe? I'm currently reading a book called Robot Dreams and it inspired me to draw this introspective robotic woman sitting by a body of water. #asimov

A chrome robotic woman sitting near a lake and petting a sleeping cat on her lap.

Say no to suffering in silence‼️🙅🏾‍♀️

A girl with brown skin and black hair in two Afro puff pigtails is sitting on a patch of grass. Her hands are folding on her lap, and her shirt says “no suffering in silence”. She’s smiling and looking off to the side.

Remember to take it easy 🧘🏾‍♀️

A woman sitting comfortably on a green couch, with one arm wrapped around her knees. She is resting her cheek on her other hand while smiling. She has brown skin and long, black, curly hair. Her dress is bright red and she’s wearing gold jewelry.

small swims (2022)

illustration of baby goslings swimming in a kitchen sink full of water. The water is reflecting light from the windows above. There are small lily pads in the water, and one gosling is in a tiny boat. Behind the sink are potted plants and a watering can that was reshaped into a small gosling house. A frog is on top of the watering can.

omg, the SDCSS club pins I designed are IN. Cute!!! (plus my original drawz). Very happy with these. The USA will probably collapse before I have a chance to distribute the Melocactus, but you know what, uhhhh let's hope for the best lmao

Six circle enamel pins, one large and five smaller. The large one reads "CSSA 2025 San Diego" and features a Dudleya on a cliff. The smaller pins feature a Huernia zebrina, Opuntia basiliaris, Boophane disticha, Melocactus azureus, and Lithops sp., and are the pins for the SDCSS club years 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028, respectively.

Same desc as the previous image but it's the production file/ original art.

The production file art for the larger CSSA pin.

I recently remembered that I make art, lol. New platform, new friends, great vibes, so I'll just be making a little thread here with some stuff I've done in the past. This one I did in 4 hours and 2 layers, randomly, in 2010, and I have never painted like this again since OTL

a scene from the town that hasn't happened yet, and by now already has. (painted from a reference photo taken in curaçao years back)

late morning on a humid day, the kind when everything living and not is sweaty to the touch. two siblings under a grove of banana trees, the older one further away and leaning against a red stucco wall. they're brushing sweaty hair from their forehead with the back of their wrist and smoking, wearing their work jumpsuit, white except where smeared with oily fish blood. the one closer to us is the younger, in sneakers, shorts, and windbreaker, uncut hair falling wild behind their shoulders. illuminated by wet light hanging lazy above. they're waiting for a ride home.

A black and white comics page rendered in fountain pen and Photoshop.

The silhouette of a woman moves through a deeply forested area. A large tree bisects the page, splitting a panel that depicts water rushing in a stream. We see that the woman's face is covered in blood and there's a yellow glint in her eye.

A black and white comics page rendered with fountain pen and Photoshop.

Panel 1
A nude Black woman hangs a faintly stained dress from the branch of a tree. She's standing on her tiptoes, a bucket at her feet. Dappled light hits her from behind. She's alone in these woods. Deep scars adorn her stomach and one arm.

Panel 2
Close shot of the woman's face. Her facial expression suggests exhaustion, resignation. Maybe both.

Panel 3
The woman shifts into the form of a wolf with dark fur and bright amber eyes.

A black and white comics page rendered in fountain pen and Photoshop.

Panel 1
A woman with long, thick hair faces away from the reader, framed by heavy foliage on either side of her. She addresses someone offscreen: "...In a few ways. I'm strong. I can smell things. Hear people comin'. Sometimes it's harder. All together, I'd say it's about the same. Can't say why I do it, but...You ever..."

Panel 2
The woman turns to face the reader, a complex emotion crossing her face. Dappled light creates a halo around her. She continues:
“You ever get sick to death of bein’ a person?”

Panel 3
The camera lands on the person she’s addressing: a man with chin-length hair, sporting a busted lip and a black eye. He doesn’t know what to say back to that, so he says nothing: “…”

Panel 4
Back to the woman. She’s smiling sadly. She finishes the conversation for both of them: “Mhm. You know.”
