Would LOVE to find an Indigenous NA illustrator.

Day15 Clubs and Schools for #illustratepride w/ @anneappert.bsky.social & @adriakarlsson.bsky.social
Took my youngest to the Int'l Airport today & should've taken a larger notebook! I could spend the whole day people watching. These 3 are inspired by some kiddos I saw there today. #kidlitart

It's Day 14 already! The prompt is #chalkart w/ @adriakarlsson.bsky.social & @anneappert.bsky.social
I haven't made many "quiet" images for the #illustratepride challenge but I see this person, tucked back into their own corner, away from the #prideparade crowd but totally content to be themselves.

I'm caught up now! Today's prompt was "costume" so I chose the "bee"-as in BEE PROUD/BEE YOURSELF! 🐝🌈
I also backtracked to Day8 & included "pets."
This is going to be such a GRAND parade!

Today is Day7 of the #illustratepride challenge with @anneappert.bsky.social & @adriakarlsson.bsky.social
I messed up & lost some of the clarity w/this one-oops.
The prompt is #magic I based it on a talented friend, who has a heart of gold for the people he meets and the communities he works with.

Day 6 of #illustratepride is all about dancing & the hair! (I had to add stars bc she resembles a drawing I did of the goddess, Nut, years ago.)
Look over these great prompts for the #prideparade #illustrationchallenge w/ @adriakarlsson.bsky.social and @anneappert.bsky.social and join in the fun!

I love Edward Gorey’s theory of art: “Art…is presumably about some certain thing, but is really always about something else, and it’s no good having one without the other, because if you just have the something it is boring and if you just have the something else it’s irritating.”

Day 4 of #illustratepride w/the prompt: #instruments
What do/did you play? I'm a bassoonist by default. I would pass out when marching w/clarinet. Lol! Now I stick to ukulele & (occasional) tambourine. 😉

Balloons can be such fun to draw, but difficult to take shape!
I'm in awe of the #prideparade🎈 #balloons & wanted to try my hand at a favorite.
