I painted some little portraits for my kids for Valentine's Day. It was fun to think about what makes them unique and special. Obviously sandwiches are a big part of their personalities 😆 I think they liked them!
Love it! You definitely know your audience 😆
Hah, me neither!
I'm a sucker for a good pun (and oh no, do I need to make an octopus card?). These are from last Valentine's but you might still find them in the occasional Trader Joe's.

Good day to go to the Cactus Room 🌵
Minimal illustration of a face in black linework with black hair. Under the face is a bright blue shirt with bright pink flowers on it. The flowers are Sea Poppies. The face has a disinterested expression.
This started as a drawing of some Sea Holly flowers, but then they needed to be a shirt and then the shirt needed a head.
I found this DVD in a drawer - apparently from a cereal box? And it came with a free trial of America Online?! Should I try it out? Maybe we can travel back to 2002 and start using chat rooms again.
Two greeting cards side by side on a pink background. One has a painting of a girl hugging farfalle (bowtie) pasta and says "I love you more than carbs." The other has a painting of a couple brushing their teeth pantsless with their bare butts showing. They're glancing sideways at each other lovingly. It says "I love you everyday."
More Valentine's day (or anytime) cards, available from @ohhdeer ! You can also find the link in my bio.

Watercolor play! Every time I use watercolor I think "I should do this more often!" And then 3 months pass and I say it again.
Thanks! Procreate to start and then I vectorized it and messed around with it a bit more in Illustrator. 🙂
Thanks! ☺️
Thanks!
Thank you!
😂 practically viral!
A background of illustrated red poppies on olive green stems with rendered gold foil flower centers. in the middle of he image it says "thinkin' 'bout you" in a lilac hand-lettered cursive font.
I'm hoping to share more in-progress/experimental work here since only like 2 people will see it anyway 😆
An image of two cards over a background with hearts. One cards has a painted picture of a frog and says "KISS ME JUST IN CASE". The second card has a collection of items that are considered lucky - Shamrocks in a bud vase, a lucky bamboo plant in a grecian vase, a Japanese beckoning cat, and two ladybugs. It says "I'M SO LUCKY I FOUND YOU."
Two lovey cards for Valentine's Day, available from Halfpenny Postage ❤️ The foil is hard to capture in a photo but it's so pretty IRL! The link is in my bio.

OUR MISSING HEARTS is not a dystopia, example #976. (When I wrote it, I worried that making up a law called "Protecting American Culture and Traditions" would be unbelievable. I don't worry that anymore.)
I made a starter pack for illustrators and surface designers so we can find each other & connect! Let me know if you’d like to be added (or removed)!

Hello Blue Sky! I’m excited to try this app out 🥰 my name is Alley and I’m a paper artist and illustrator who loves miniatures, nostalgia and whimsy. Here’s one of my favorite little 3D tunnel book scenes that I’ve made. ⛵️🌊 #paperart #papercraft #illustration #painting #miniatures
I had a nice time pushing paint around with my local artists group today. So grateful for those ladies! Thanks @gathergoodsco.bsky.social for providing such an inspiring space to work.
Gorgeous!

A stylized illustration of a Lady Ross's Turaco. Made with gouache paint and has a collage feel. The bird has a vibrant blue body and red crown.
And something new. #ladyrossturaco #Birdillustration #gouache
Gouache paint and pencil drawing of a girl sitting on a blue bike talking on an old-fashioned payphone. She's twirling the phone chord with her finger.
From the archives! Pretty sure this bike could not actually function as a bike.
Painted flowers in a black and white checkered vase on a bright green background. This artwork was created with traditional mediums and then digitally altered in Photoshop. Signed in the bottom right corner by the artist.
Hello! I'm trying to move myself over here since Instagram hasn't felt like a good fit for me lately. I'm currently enjoying the freedom of having hardly any followers 😂
