OP smiling at the camera, flowers painted on her face and a wearing a flower crown to match

#repostyourart day 13- artist! here's a selfie from a couple years ago, for the past few years I've volunteered as a face painter at a local nature festival and it's always a great time. I love seeing kids' faces light up when they see the result!

ty!! Eels with legs are so much fun to draw I was stoked for this one haha

bullet journal drawing of a ferret holding a mug of hot drink and wearing a sweater, surrounded by uncolored leaves

Same image as before but the leaves are filled in with different colors according to a mood tracker key on the bottom of the page

#repostyourart day 12 - Cozy 🧡 before I was treated for depression it was important for me to have mood trackers every month, and I would try to make cute themes like this one. Now that I don't need to, I've switched to doing 'covers' for each month, like the hummingbird moth from day 3!

digital art of a banana eel inspired dragon against a watery, bright teal backdrop. It's surrounded by little bubbly sparkly doodles

#repostyourart day 11 - sparkles! This was a piece I did for Artfight a couple years ago, an art trade game that I always want to get into more than I actually have time for :') this was SUCH a fun character though, I had a great time drawing it!!

Colored pencil drawing of a longhair brown tabby cat with very flowing, stylized fur and areas of warm yellowish color through her chest and paws. Behind her are a few springs of juniper with berries on them.

#repostyourart day 10 - pencil! I don't do a lot of colored pencil work just because it takes longer than I usually have the patience for, but here's a piece I did a few years back of my cat Juniper. It was fun despite taking a LOT of time to layer all that color in!

Day 9 #repostyourart - light! Here's a collection of lit jack-o-lanterns I've designed and carved in previous years :) I love carving intricate designs but haven't had the time to do it the past couple of years, I have to put aside some dedicated time for it this fall!

Digital illustration in orange, black, purple, and green with some halftone effect, of two humanoid characters. They both have jack-o-lantern heads with broad smiles carved into them. On the right is a taller, larger character wearing overalls and boots, holding out a lantern. In front of them is a character dressed up in a black turtleneck wearing paw shaped gloves, a black mask, and a tail, waving at the viewer.

#repostyourart day 8 - autumn 🧡 This is one part of a larger piece that I created for our annual Halloween party invitations in 2024! My wife usually comes up with a fun seasonal poem and a clever way to structure the invitations, and I usually collaborate on imagery and/or assembly.

very loose messy digital drawing of a brown dog wearing a red collar with gold stars on it. he squints at the viewer with his mouth hanging open slightly and his bottom row of teeth fully visible. the name MARTY is above his head flanked by little hearts

#repostyourart day 7, silly

My buddy Kayla's mom has the skrungkliest looking dog I've ever seen in my life and I love him so much. She commissioned this from me a few years ago and apparently her mom still has it framed in her home which is incredible to me

Image of sketchbook with a piece covering a full page of two cedar waxwings, one in the upper right and one in the bottom left corner. Both birds are wreathed with juniper needles and berries. The bird up top reaches down to pass a juniper berry to the one on the bottom.

#repostyourart day 6 - Bird! I have so many potential options for this prompt since birds are some of my most common subjects. This is a marker/gouache piece from last year, my first time working with alcohol markers. I learned a lot!

Acrylic painting of caramel-colored water tumbling over dark brown rocks. In the foreground, along the top and right edges of the canvas, pine branches peek into frame.

Oop I fell behind :') #repostyourart day 5, Mountain - Manido Falls in the Porcupine Mountains of upper MI. I've been doing plein-aire paintings of waterfalls for years now, and I always look forward to spending a few hours trying to capture the textures and movement of the water over the rocks.

(whoops this is day 4! I'm too sleepy to be posting rn)

Acrylic painting - portrait of a goldendoodle wearing a red bandana in front of a backdrop of blue sky and loose impressions of rose bushes.

#repostyourart day 5: cat/dog - a Christmas gift to my parents of their dog Sam 💚 I loved painting his fur texture! Acrylic on canvas, 2023

Alcohol marker illustration of a Clearwing Snowberry moth visiting some spring ephemeral flowers: Virginia Bluebells, Shooting stars, and Large-flowered Bellwort.

A bit off schedule, but I wanted to make sure to get out a post for #repostyourart day 3: Spring! I made this last year as a bullet journal cover, featuring some of my favorite spring ephemerals (details in alt text) and the Clearwing Snowberry moth. I can't wait to see these blooms again 💚

#repostyourart challenge day 2 - Bloom! This is a more recent piece I haven't posted online yet, a linocut print of Trillium grandiflorum, one of Wisconsin's most iconic spring ephemeral flowers. I'm so looking forward to them blooming soon!

#repostyourart

I'm so bad at posting on social media and ever since my brand change my accounts have been pretty bare, so I'm gonna be doing the #repostyourart challenge to finally show off some older stuff! The first prompt was "hello," this used to be my icon and I would dress it up for different holidays c:

Hey all! I have a new piece in this zine 💙❄️🌱

(for anyone who remembers previous years' hourlies - Moraine has been in every comic thus far but this is her first February as Moraine c: )

Hourly Comics Day- 10:30 am: drawing of two women, one with darker shoulder-length curly hair (Moraine) and one with long straight hair (Chelsea, the artist) snuggled up in bed together, smiling lovingly at each other. The text reads "Lazy morning with my favorite person <3 she smiles so much more lately. I love getting to see her smile first thing in the morning"

Hourly Comics Day - 11am: text reads "making breakfast" over an image of the couple at the stove. Moraine butters a piece of toast while Chelsea holds a spatula near a pan with eggs frying in it

Hourly Comics Day - 12pm: text reads "doing my silly little puzzes" over a drawing of the two on the couch. Chelsea is in the foreground working on a crossword puzzle while Moraine is in the background drawing on the ipad. Between then a light-colored cat (Peach) is curled up sleeping.

Hourly Comics Day - 1pm: drawing of a snowy suburban scene. Chelsea is out in her puffer coat, partially done shoveling snow from the sidewalk and driveway. Text reads "Shoveling ~ I actually really like shoveling snow! I would clear the whole neighborhood if I had the time."

late on these, as always, I'll finish em up tomorrow though!!

Sketchbook page featuring three female cardinal drawings in large messy blocks of color with low detail. Media used: tombow water-based markers

I love gay cardinal season but let's give the lesbian cardinals their flowers

Certainly! Thanks for asking!

I'm honestly really excited to see what kind of fun messy stuff people come up with as part of the initiative, there's so much creativity and heart in the local arts scene, it's gonna be great

The biggest local maker's market has been using AI posters and social media graphics for stuff even though they have plenty of funding they could use to hire people. In response, one of the small indie markets said people can make posters in exchange for a free booth, even 'low effort' ones

A table absolutely covered in small black & white linoleum block prints of a possum with its mouth open in a big V shape. The prints are stacked on top of objects in the table, other prints on differently colored paper, and even overlap each other a bit.

the same photo of moss and plants behind a text box FAQ! pt 2 Will l get my own physical copy? While we'd love to get a physical copy out to all participants for free, this isn't always feasible; some of the previous editions have been entirely funded and produced by Elliot (@honeymush) and it ends up costing quite a bit to print and mail copies to each participant.
