First test print of Gardens of Resistance postcard sets with custom packaging 🤓 coming to holiday markets in Dec 🎄 Didn't realize how much I missed designing foldable structures until I was messing with this. 🤓

A set of four postcards is fanned out in flat packaging on a work table with a ruler in the corner of the image. The top postcard reads "Plant seeds of democracy" across the top of the postcard and "nurture participation / harvest freedom" across the bottom. The artwork is in the style of WPA posters and centers a Latinx female presenting person kneeling in a garden, reaching toward the ground, in the process of planting seeds. All artwork artist made, NO AI.

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.

Here's what I posted for today's prompt - found at a campsite:

Bold line art vector style illustration of a compass, open, with the directional arrow pointing SSW. The illustration is colored in earthy greens and brassy oranges.

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.

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"

Third image is bonus of mid-teen me (back row right) in the art room with friends, wearing the first thing I screen printed. It's a white t-shirt and in bold black letters it says "I am woman hear me roar". The full shirt is not visible in the photo.

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.

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".

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.

We're all creating from the legacies of those before us. Joris Hoefnagel (1542–1601) was a pivotal figure in the history of Dutch art, playing an important role both in the latter stages of the Flemish illumination tradition and the birth of the new genre of still life.

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.
