Hi Brian!
This sounds like an absolute dream project of mine as I have done pieces related to different mythos in Pacific Islander and Greek cultures and would LOVE to do more!

For the weekend crowd... Next Thursday, July 3rd is #kidlitartpostcard day! #kidlit #kidlitart www.ginaperry.com/postcard

writing a picture book manuscript is trickier than i originally expected it to be and i certainly never expected it to be EASY

Honestly this was one of my first times drawing an alligator so it was quite a surprise to realize how much the giant bug eye look totally works for them lol 😂

A painting of a top down view of a girl in an outrigger canoe. She had stopped paddling to look down at manta rays passing beneath her boat in the clear, blue ocean. There are pink petals blowing out of the basket in her canoe and three white birds fly swiftly past.

Happy AAPI month! Warmer weather and the fast approach of summer always makes me miss the ocean intensely and I thought the best way to cope was to paint it.

it's impossible to describe the raw emotion in a rush of inspiration and in art. learning new things and techniques. getting frustrated but pushing through and finally getting it. the "making" part is the journey and makes the end product worth it.

coping with rough days by researching and daydreaming about the new city my husband and i are hoping to head to in the next 1-2 years 😮‍💨

A close up image of a small, roughly painted color study for a larger piece. It shows a girl in an outrigger canoe from top down, she is surrounded by the ocean and fish swimming underneath.

shout out to the funky lil quick color study tucked into the corner of every piece I do that helps me stay strong during the ugly phases of painting 🥲

To get better at drawing it’s 90% obsession and 10% practice

A kidlitart postcard depicting a scene of litter and trash clean up in the woods. Two young children help a forest ranger by picking up litter while forest animals like squirrels and birds watch on. Both kids are wearing high visibility vests as they pick up empty bottles and discarded plastic.

I love all the added pets too! And thank you! ☺️

An illustration envisioning the creator as a doll contained in a colorful blister pack. Alongside the main doll are pieces that make up her "starter pack", including a small iPad and pen, her favorite water bottle, her schnauzer puppy, a black parasol, and an ice pack. Proudly displayed in the top right corner is an anti-AI sign.

I really loved the non-AI version of this trend over on IG. It's a fun sort of "meet the artist" riff.
