Drawing on a yellow inter-office envelope showing a tall, thin robot walking across a dark, broken landscape. The robot has a round head covered in small mechanical lenses and wires, a red scarf, and long skeletal legs. A small flying robot with a single large blue eye hovers nearby. Both figures are drawn in metallic gel pens and markers, giving their outlines a reflective shimmer. Blacked-out text on the envelope forms the background. The piece is titled β€œWhere Do You Wanna Go,” signed by the artist.

Here’s my latest envelope drawing: a wanderer robot and its flying friend roaming a post-apocalypse Earth. I’m still getting used to metallic gel pensβ€”they’re tricky to blendβ€”but fun to explore with. #Art #Markers #EnvelopeArt #Drawing #SciFi #PostApocalyptic

A metallic gel marker drawing on the back of a yellow interdepartmental envelope, with the original grid, names, and markings partially blacked out. In the center is a large heart split into two halvesβ€”one teal and one pale metallic greenβ€”rooted into the ground with branching, tree-like veins. Small hearts sprout like leaves from thin branches around it, and several tiny hearts float upward into the air above the larger heart. The colors glow against the dark marker background. The piece is titled β€œmy hearts grows” with the title written on the envelope and signed by the artist just above it.

A lot of our inter-office envelopes are solidly blacked out with Sharpie, and it’s hard to draw on. I tried metallic gel pens to see how they work on the black, and I love the effect. What do you think? #Art #EnvelopeArt #MarkerArt #OriginalArt #BSkyArt #SkyArt #AltText

A pair of Trumpeter Swans face each other with their necks curved. Water is dripping from the beak of the one on the right. Golden light shines on the swans.

A drawing on a brown interoffice envelope shows a cartoonish brain character with orange eyes, a wide grin, and an oversized red question mark sprouting from the top of its head. It stands on long, skinny legs wearing purple sneakers. The background has scribbled-out text from the reused envelope. Signed by the artist at the bottom right, with β€œDr. Brain, M.D.” written below.

I did a fun sketch of a brain with feet one of the inter office envelope. I named him Dr. Brain MD. Now I’m not sure how he operates without hands but that’s not my problem, is it? Maybe that’s why he has a ? above his head.

with acrylic paint on 12x18 watercolor paper. The artwork shows the silhouette of a deer standing among tall, dark tree trunks. The left side glows with layered reds, oranges, and yellows representing the colors of fall, while the right side shifts into a deep blue night sky dotted with faint stars, creating a striking contrast between the warmth of autumn and the coolness of night. The painting rests on fallen leaves.

Here’s my monthly calendar that I create for co-workers. Novembers hardβ€”it’s my 3rd November, so I wanted something different from what I’ve done before. I found inspiration in bright, primary-colored fall art and created β€œInto the Woods.” #Art #AcrylicPainting #Painting #OriginalArt #PrimaryColors

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

A detailed marker drawing titled Tea at the Gearworks shows a steampunk rabbit standing beneath an ornate arch reminiscent of an old theater or bar. The rabbit wears round goggles and a tall top hat decorated with brass gears, pipes, and tiny machinery. He’s dressed in a waistcoat and long brown coat over a T-shirt printed with a steampunk-style heartβ€”split open to reveal inner gears. Behind him, the arch’s curved frame is lined with small gear motifs and industrial flourishes, suggesting a mix of elegance and mechanical craftsmanship. The drawing is on a reused interdepartmental envelope with blacked-out writing, adding texture and contrast to the image. In the bottom corner, the work is signed by the artist.

A close-up view of Tea at the Gearworks focuses on the rabbit’s upper body and head. His brass goggles glint over one eye, and his top hat tilts slightly, showing off detailed gears and tiny tubing. His expression is calm and curious, as though he’s waiting for company. The texture of the reused interdepartmental envelope shows faint text, scribbles, and punch holes behind the art, giving the mechanical fantasy character a grounded, tactile feel. The shading in warm browns and golds enhances the vintage steampunk mood. In the corner, the artwork is signed by the artist.

This dapper gentleman rabbit is part of my portrait series on interoffice envelopes. I’ve loved #Steampunk for decades, so I drew this refined rabbit with gears, goggles, and charm. My small contribution to the world of steampunk style.

A drawing titled Late Summer Dinner on a yellow inter-office envelope. The art shows a small bee hovering above three pinkish-purple coneflowers with golden centers and green stems. Scribbled-out names and writing from the reused envelope peek through the drawing, adding texture and layers to the scene. The bee’s wings are outlined with β€œBuzz” handwritten nearby, giving it a playful touch. The piece captures a late summer moment of nature’s calm persistence amid the ordinary office world.

We have a lot of native coneflowers in our yard β€” and #Bees! 🐝 We try to keep everything native in our gardens to help #NativeBees and other native friends like birds and insects.

I felt like showing the folder of all my #EnvelopeArt I’ve done so far. It’s been such a fun ongoing project, turning old inter-departmental envelopes into tiny art pieces. Hope you think it’s cool, amazing, or at least interesting to look at.
