Wanted to do a more ""official"" first piece for #boktober! This time a Sumatra rooster, which are originally bred for fighting and are surprisingly good at flying. #art

You know what, I was just about to go searching online for chicken pics but I have a better idea! Hey followers, if you have chickens and don't mind me or others sketching or painting them (you're giving full freedom refs) post them here! *Just know I don't know how many I'll actually get to

Gotta share the first #boktober artwork of the month. Thanks for indulging my silly idea Kim! I suppose this means I should make at least something for it lol. The challenge is open for anyone wanting to do it, just draw chickens. Not a strict challenge, just have fun :) 🐔

I wonder if I start looking for planners now if I will manage to find The Perfect One by the end of the year. Happy Planner (what I use now) decided to up and change the layout I liked best! The nerve

The amount of emails I get along the lines of "We wrote a great article that YOU should host on your website because it'll drive traffic to you and you should be honored about it!" has increased. These "offers" have been around for years, but the new common difference I'm seeing? It's all genai.

Screenshot of part of the email that reads: "P.S. I take care to develop articles that offer readers genuine support while improving online visibility through AI optimization. If the proposed topic doesn’t suit your current content plan, I can put together something that fits better."
I've highlighted the part where is says "through ai optimization"

“As Autumn shows its golden hues And winds grow crisp with change The mountain tops and streams below Reveal their shimmering range” "Golden" - Just in time for Autumn! This moody painting is inspired by the cloudy skies and colors of the PNW as the trees begin to shift into gold. #dragons #art

I finished carving this month's lino print tonight and will be printing everything tomorrow! After debate, I chose to let my wrist rest this weekend which put me in the tightest deadline ever 😅 I'm thinking gold and burnt sienna will be the perfect Autumn colors 🍂

Oh hell no, nooo nope. Tbh I'm not surprised to hear this is Vistaprint. I stopped using them many years ago when they couldn't get one single batch of business cards printed correctly. Their quality is really not the best to begin with! I use GotPrint for my business cards, never had an issue.

IMO don't eat anything with activated charcoal, period. It's meant as a medication and needs to stop being used in everything just for the cool factor. If you're taking important medications especially avoid it because it'll likely mess with them.

Iceland has a lot of spectacular waterfalls, but this pair is near the top of the list for me. The scene makes me marvel at how nature could create something so beautiful. To help with scale, I estimate the upper drop to be ~50-60 feet. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography

Working on getting a new print edited and test run today for a (very likely) limited autumn release depending on interest. I'm never quite sure how well a new print will be received, but I know it's best to have them ready before sharing the artwork! So that's what's in the works atm

Got out again today and did a longer walk. Saw more ducks out on the boardwalk and this lovely spot of sunlight through the trees. Then ate the leftover enchiladas and watched Green Book. All around good day 🌿

Went to the park, saw some ducks (these are Gadwall ducks, so cute!), soaked in some sun and got a bit of light walking done. Looking forward to when more ducks start arriving for migration. I'll need to bring a better camera!

I don't have many granulating watercolors and decided I'd love some very granulating neutrals*, so I'm treating myself with these four from Schmincke :D *Maybe not like TRUE neutrals but they're colors I could use a lot for mixing. Yes I did get two greens.

I'm painting today and Sitka is offering his best cat help in the form of "give me attention immediately and fully" and throwing a fit because he can't get to the spider that built a web outside the window right above my head. Anyways, I'm digging my palette colors. 🍂

One thing I miss from Colorado are watching the huge storms and building clouds cast full of lightning roll through. The visuals! (I didn't like the storm damage and tornadoes though, that I'm glad to be out of, particularly the hail). Gorgeous video capture, it's breathtaking.

Spent another two hours looking for a new tabletop print rack that I like and the verdict is there's no such thing as the perfect print rack. I'd make it myself if i had the spoons, but I ran out of those so long ago lol. I'll find something and make do until i cant stand it anymore, as usual xD

Dragon sketch. My lighter grey Ecoline dried out soon after starting, so wasn't able to shade as much or as well as wanted -3546 🎨 #art

A monochrome sketch of a dragon, floating/swimming in some kind of swamp, body mostly under the water. Half the sketch shows underneath the water, which is full of roots and rocks and plants etc, and tall thin trees growing well above the water. It is all drawn in black ballpoint pen and grey Ecolines

My human anatomy is so rusty I'm afraid to get tetanus. 🥁 Proof that there sketchbooks are where the rough things live. It's been over a decade since I really drew characters, but I can't lay off the dragons long enough to get back into it it seems lol. But I still try sometimes. xD

Gray sky, cold water, driftwood, rocks, and a whole lot of trees. Pretty much the full Pacific Northwest starter pack. Not dramatic. Not polished. Just one of those quiet, moody places that feels completely at home under an overcast sky. #pnw #photography #landscape #river #nature

A quiet river curves past a broad gravel bar beneath a heavy gray sky, its dark, gently rippling water edged by smooth stones and a weathered driftwood log. Dense Pacific Northwest forest rises along both banks, with tall evergreens mixed among trees beginning to take on muted autumn gold and brown. Low clouds hang over the distant hills, giving the scene a cool, subdued, almost misty feel.

It's a bit of a big jump, I know, but here's another little progress peek at this painting releasing on Monday :) I'm painting with pure Ivory black watercolor, the white parts in areas of the bg are gouache. In case you miss future posts, you'll find it here: everydayoriginal.com/artist/katie...

A close up photo of the corner of the painting as I work on it. I'm painting a tree in this pic, the rest is kind of blurry but you can make out the dragon and mountains already painted in the background. Text reads Katie Croonenberghs and kamakru.com
