Day 27: River Mumma
Today is a small comic based on a Jamaican folktale about River Mumma. In it a Canadian man studying under a Jamaican bush doctor encounters River Mumma! Have you heard of River mumma?

Around 5 we all feasted on a delicious meal, we always had room for grandma's rum cake. I never recall there being a single slice leftover, but everyone was happily full after this delicious dessert. #caribbeanheritagemonth #rumcake #drawing #futurepainting #artsky

Travels of Boston's new women voters in 1920 can be found in local historic newspapers. For #CaribbeanHeritageMonth, we focus on a 1911 @bostonglobe.com story of Jamaica born voter Ethel (Parcells) Scott, encountering rough seas when returning to Boston from a trip to Jamaica. 🧵

Day 24: Duppy
Today was just a doodle in a notebook. I find the Duppy from Kobi and Mr. Brown to be so fascinating and spooky! In this folk tale a crow man arrives from Miami carrying a coffin in his search for Mr. Brown.... #caribbeanheritagemonth #spooky #folklore #sketch #kidlitart

🇯🇲 Day 23: Doctor Bird 🇯🇲
Also known as the red-billed streamer-tail, this hummingbird native to Jamaica and is recognized as it's national bird!

Day 21: Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)
Did you know this was originally a Jamaican Folk song? #folkartwork #caribbeanheritagemonth #digitalart #artsky

Day 20: B'Rabby
B'Rabby is a trickster hero commonly found in Bahamian Folklore. I thought it would be nice to sketch him enjoying some guava with his friend B'bookie. #caribbeanheritagemonth #smallartist #folklore #artsky #kidlitart

Day 15: Mango Tree
Hard to believe that half of June and this challenge is over! It felt nice to just sit in a comfy chair on a rainy Sunday with a cup of tea and sketch one of my favorite fruits. What's your favorite fruit?

Native to Puerto Rico, the coquí sings its name into the night—“co-quí, co-quí!” I had so much fun illustrating this adorable little frog!
