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.

The unbiased statement of problem, clear ask for correction, honest response, supportive reply, and respectful wrap up - it's like a breath of fresh air. No shame, no blame, no disrespect - just a simple request, asked and answered.

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.

I've seen more than a few posts lately where SEO 'experts' are fear mongering to sell their services, especially to small and micro businesses. And it's not half as complicated as they want you to believe.

Amy (Word Picture Ink) @wordpictureink.com · 05/09/2026

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.

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.

Second image is full artwork (original digital illustration © by me), same floral illustration from first image, with bold black all-caps text "Joy is Resistance".

First image is hype page that I posted on other social feeds. Small text top left reads "Valley Made Market 05.31.26" Big all-caps text bottom of slide reads "PRINT WITH ME!" in white over bold, heavy floral artwork in a light blue to light green gradient on a black background.

Anything you bring to print on MUST: - be at least 50% cotton - be flat (not ribbed or textured) and not be pilled or fuzzy - have a printable area of 9"x11" If you have questions - ask them here or message me!

Amy (Word Picture Ink) @wordpictureink.com · 27/05/2026

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. 🚜👷🏾‍♂️🏔️🧑🏼‍🌾👨🏾‍⚕️🌾

The light is this is stunning. Gorgeous work.

It's in the same style as my poster series that I started with 'Compost the Patriarchy' about two years ago. I'll be showing that poster series along with other work at a show coming up next month in the gallery at Skagit Valley Community College.

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.

I'm realizing that with the heavy things I'm expecting my creativity to carry these days - I think I need to figure out how to build more goofy, playful, pure imagination, art for art's sake moments.

Amy (Word Picture Ink) @wordpictureink.com · 28/01/2025

Oh I love that!! I'm a various mediums on paper (or canvas or other flat stuff) girlie - and working in clay or anything 3D had absolutely not even entered my mind. But if it's possible I love the idea - I haven't played with anything multidimensional since I was in school.

I love creating repeats by hand, but have never seen this method 🤯 going to go look it up. Thank you for sharing this!! Also - gorgeous florals!!

110

Amy (Word Picture Ink) @wordpictureink.com · 26/01/2025

Make something, throw it in the middle of the table, grab something someone else made from the middle of the table, cut it and add more. Repeat. Each creator picks a piece they want to keep and then the rest get auctioned and $ donated.

Amy (Word Picture Ink) @wordpictureink.com · 26/01/2025

All the previous comments made me nearly laugh coffee on my phone. Also - wondering what this idea would look like - except with a whole mess of artists with different styles around a table?
