Digital drawing following the action figure trend, but done with actual effort. The figure of Sea, inside a plastic cover, wears a dark blue t-shirt with a sleeping cat on it and the word 'loafin'' above, and pastel purple, blue and pink loose trousers, and cream slippers. The accessories they come with are a mug of tea, a cat, and a foraging basket holding flowers. A yellow background has details of an anti-ai logo, the title 'Sea, comfy artist edition' and 'starter pack' at the top. The Sea doll has a speech bubble reading 'oooh,look at those mushrooms!' Under that is a six-pointed green star listing features (detailed in another pic), and at the bottom a notice saying 'rainbow dungarees sold separately'

Detail of the previous picture. A six pointed green star has white hand-drawn writing on it reading Features: • Blue hair & tattoos to repel gross men • small business t-shirt by Sophie Heywood • Queerness & neurodivergence not pictured • Creativity no art theft

Detail of the main image, showing a white wicker-type basket holding forget-me-nots, cherry blossom and bluebells. Beneath in black handwriting it says 'foraging basket'. Along the bottom, some of the plastic packaging is visible

Detail of the main image, a red circle with a slash through it (🚫) over a white 'AI'. Written along the slash of the circle in black is 'requires time and effort' A part of the blue S of Sea can be seen on the right

A couple of days behind the curve but real art takes time!
I had a lot of fun doing this!

Sea Sells Logo (a circular swirl of bright pastel rainbow colours with a heart in the middle, inside a blue circle outline with two yellow dots either side and 'Sea Sells' in stylised black font curved around the top) with 'at Authentic' added to the lower part of the circle

A photograph taken from the pavement outside a stone terraced shop. A swinging pavement sign, white with a blue base, advertises Authentic, with a blue capital A logo and an arrow pointing towards the shop. Behind it is a window filled with artisan craft goods, with a blue window box full of flowers

Selfie of Sea, a smiling white person with short blue hair wearing a white t-shirt with the chain of a necklace visible, and yellow framed sunglasses on their head. They are stood in front of Authentic's window, in which assorted artisan crafts are visible, and above which the shop sign is displayed

Been sitting on this one for a bit, but yesterday I dropped some stock off at it's new home, my first ever shop space, Authentic in Uppermill🤩

Against a background of assorted colourful stickers, a white persons hand holds two stickers in a flat palm. The top sticker is of a cute cartoon frog, cut to shape. The lower sticker is a black rectangle with a UFO that has a rainbow beam shining on green text reading 'i got abducted by aliens and now I'm gay' - the word 'gay' is in holographic foil and is in purple/blue/turquoise tones

Friends I'm beyond thrilled, my stickers arrived early so they'll be coming with me this weekend to the Horseshoe and @grubmcr.bsky.social 🙌🏻😁
