This was my wind down after a day of design work and some sticker printing apprenticeship fun. I always start off a doodle book with something on the inside of the cover, so that it's immediately no longer perfect and blank and can therefore be filled with any garbage and still be perfect.

The inside cover of a small sketchbook is pictured, laying open and flat on top of a set of art markers, with their colorful tops and color numbers visible in the background. On the sketchbook page is an ink and marker drawing of two green lily pads with one orange flower and two buds, floating in a wash of bright blue water.

Thanks to a clear request for allyship, I found a new app that is actively anti-ai, supports creatives of every skill level, and is gorgeous encouragement to stay connected to making art daily. Go check out @doodl-app.bsky.social And find me on there with same username as here. 🤓

This thread is a study in one person offering feedback and/or information, and another taking that new information in and taking action. Truly wish everyone could read this.

Went card shopping for my girlfriend's birthday a few days ago. Got surprised by my own work while browsing. 🤓 😂 I did know that I was walking into a shop that stocks some things I make, but somehow, it was still surprising in the best way.

A display rack of colorful, artist made greeting cards in the background, with two magnets on the shelf edge in the foreground. The magnets are my Cultivate Change and Compost the Patriarchy, vintage protest poster style illustrations.

Reminder/unpopular opinion : SEO is a keyword search. You can make it more complicated if you want to. Of course there are nuances. But functionally, you are making sure that your site has the words in it that people are likely to type in a search when they're looking for your business.

Getting ready for Valley Made Market this Sunday. New sticker designs - like Art Inside (pictured on my laptop) are making their debut. Also taking a fresh crop of bookmarks and something that I can't wait to share later this week, but it's so new it's still on my computer. 🤓

Stickers on a laptop. One is a 'no kings' crown with an X; one is a rainbow d20 with no numbers, and the central once looks like an industrial caution sticker in black and white with yellow stripes, and says "art inside, please be gentle"

Thank you for this moment of perspective and an inspiration to appreciate my dear, darling doggo. I am thankful for the smol floofy floof that is snoring louder than a people on the couch, upside down, against my leg.

NEW things!! Or a return to old things in multiple ways? Both, really. In a celebratory (likely messy) move - I'll be screen printing in my booth at Valley Made Market this Sunday. 🥳 New design. I'll have some thrifted things for purchase to print on, or you can BYO thing to print on.

Doing the last bits of clean up on illustrations before I drop them into poster layouts and send them off to the client. Can't wait to share this whole thing - it's big and beautiful and it's got good work to go do real soon. 🚜👷🏾‍♂️🏔️🧑🏼‍🌾👨🏾‍⚕️🌾

Swipe to wind back the progress clock. Working on wrapping up my first commissioned illustration project in a good number of years. Feels like a gorgeous sort of homecoming. This is part of a WPA poster style piece commissioned for a local scholarship fund.

Scene of work: digital drawing tablet on my lap, with an illustration in progress of a young, black, masculine presenting surveyor, with a rucksack and map tube on his back. Soon to be holding the leg of a transit (it is a work in progress). In the background, a ttrpg live play podcast is slightly blurry on an iPad.

Work in progress: digital illustration in progress of a young, black, masculine presenting surveyor. Color palette runs down the left side of the screen. Person is sketched in rough pencil lines with color and shading on his face, arms and shirt.

Who me, zoom in to 447.15% and manually select pieces from a stock vector that was constructed in the worst possible way because I have a very specific way that I need/want to use it? Absolutely! 🤓 I'm gonna group this the way I need it damnit. #GraphicDesign #VectorEditing #VectorIllustration

Radiating pattern of light purple dots on a grey background. Some of the dots are selected with red circles.

Zoomed in view of a vector illustration.

I made a shirt a few months back. Tiny script type type reads "Fuck the Fascist Hatemongering Bullshit". Feeling like I need to make another design that says that BIGGER. Wearing it so much lately that I'm gonna have to get myself a second one.

I did design things *for myself* this weekend. And it made me very happy. Keeps making me happy if I'm totally honest. The whole conversation about it is happening on my personal feed.

Just popping in with an illustration I did, that I made into a poster, and t-shirt, and this cute magnet that's hanging out on my fridge. ( business card for scale ) Make stuff that you love. You never know who else might love it. #Illustration #MadeToMakeStatements

Magnet on a refrigerator with a business cared for scale - they're nearly the same size. Artwork on magnet is an original WPA poster style illustration of two women in a garden, holding gardening implements, standing near an oversized compost bin. Text at top of illustration reads "Compost the Patriarchy" bottom text reads "Turn old ideas into new growth".

That time arrived a long while ago. The question now is whether Democratic leaders fully understand and will act accordingly.

Hypocrisy is wanting to change the name of a body of water and then turning around to deadname trans people. #volcanicwisdom

Thanks @bsky.app for making it easy to remember to add alt text to images. Go to Settings > Accessibility Then check the box. Couldn't be easier.

Screenshot of BlueSky Accessibility Settings. Text Reads "Require alt text before posting" with a tick in the check box next to it. Text reads "Display larger alt text badges" without a tick in the box next to it.

Hey video creators, makers & artists - check out what these guys are saying - and especially - peep those stats from December at about :45 sec. YouTube shorts are getting more eyes than Netflix and Prime. Where and how you show up with your brand matters. Show up where people are already looking.

When I start feeling like I'm doing fancy, new, big things as a designer or illustrator - I like to dig into an archive like @publicdomainrev.bsky.social and remind myself that creative folks have being doing fancy, new, big things for a very long time.

Friends & Coworkers: Another social media account? Me: Have you seen the news? Also me: Not 'another' - trading the fascist misinformation machines in on the newer, less hate-filled version that *actually* prioritizes free speech.

Recent work that I'm falling more in love with the longer I get to hang out with it. #FavoriteSeason #WNGB #MadeToMakeStatements wordpictureink.com

A slate blue hoodie with a detailed scientific style illustration of falling or tumbling autumnal leaves surrounding and overlapping text, in a lightly rounded block sans serif font, which reads, "my favorite season is the fall of the patriarchy". This is original and copyrighted artwork.

This little corner of Sky is under the purview of a graphic designer & artist who is also lesbian/queer, actively anti-racist, anti-censorship, anti-fascist, in favor of bodily autonomy for all, was raised to honor Mother Nature (climate change is real), and trusts facts+science over misinformation.
