My drawing of a snail with jewelry eyes

For the #BlueskyArtShow I tried something new. This little #Round snail is done all in ink and no watercolour. Ink and shirt-studs on paper.

A rectangle piece of cardboard covered with magazine print as a background. In the foreground are mountains and an overhead shot of a seashore. Overlaying these are a variety of bathtubs, fish, lamps, plums, and a bowl of cucumber salad. There are also the words twist, bright idea, fish, and take a trip glued over other elements of the collage.

Let's try this again πŸ‘‹

Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.

I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?
