Mask chains displayed on a particle board background. They are made out of a variety of beads and chains, some with dangling charms. The photo has a purple border.

Got really into mask chains over the summer! I was inspired by some friends who wear all sorts of pretty and creative chains, and wanted to try making my own⛓️ #diyjewelry #craftsky

Four stickers on a cement background. They are as follows: A simple round clown face with big eyes and a little smile, wearing a yellow neck ruffle and a blue cap with a red pompom. Three clustered pumpkins of different sizes, in a style inspired by Over the Garden Wall. A mysterious looking critter sitting down, drawn in a sketchy style. It is black with long pointy ears and a tail that has a tuft of fur at the end. A loosely drawn portrait of a cartoony person with bright yellow skin and spiky magenta hair, their irises are spirals and their head is surrounded by little stars and squiggles to indicate being discombobulated.

New stickers!! I love them, especially the clown and critter. I'm going to have these at my next market!

A table with an art market display of buttons, prints, zines and stickers.

My table at the Valentine's market I did last month! #art #craft

A small pile of lino printed heart design buttons in different colour combinations of pink, blue, black, and white. They all look a bit different.

Lino printed buttons! It was really fun to mess around with different looks, I definitely want to try doing this again #linoprint #art

I really didn't enjoy drawing in the Illustrator app, but I'm finding the Designer one to be nice. There's something to be said about how the industry standard can barely make a good app despite charging an arm & a leg yearly, & yet the one-time purchase from a smaller company is so comprehensive

A twelve image grid with text that reads 2024 Art Review at the top. The grid has one piece of art from each month of the year, both drawing and crochet.

My 2024 art summary✌️ I've definitely been in a rut but I started learning how to crochet this year, which has been nice

A sketchbook page with three messy, not fully transferred linocut prints. One print is a tree with two small creatures in the branches, and the other two the silhouette of a cartoony person with their hands raised and what looks like an explosion behind their head.

Works in progress! One of these days I'm going to figure out how to effectively & efficiently press my lino prints. I currently use 20 pounds of bricks, but that's a bit of an ordeal to do for each print haha

The shop closest to me seems like a good option, though the website says sticker files have to be vector and I don't love drawing that way. We'll see!

I think I'm finally going to make stickers! I haven't done it since using the college print shop in 2019, and I'm looking around for a higher quality place to print now. Shipping is super expensive so I'm on the lookout for local places🔎

A six panel comic of a cartoony yellow figure with spiky pink hair cleaning their glasses vigorously, with motion lines and sketchy line art. The last panel is them wearing their glasses, with dizzy spiral eyes and stars and squiggles around their head. The title is in a yellow strip above the comic, reading SMUDGED in skewed handwriting with a drawing of glasses. It is signed Maia W

Glasses disaster

A photo of two simple crochet amigurumi frogs, one vibrant green and the other pale green. They are holding a bouquet of small blue and purple crochet flowers together. The background is the arm of a tan couch.

My partner's friends just got married, so I made them a little froggy gift! Pattern by Eri's Art, with added limbs 🧶

Digital doodles of three cartoony cat faces. There is a brown tabby with a happy expression named "Falafel", a round white cat with a blank stare named "Garlic", and an angular black cat named with a white whisker on her forehead named "Zigzag"

A digital painting of a yellow rubber duck on a red and black background. The duck is backlit and staring ominously forward.

A digital painting of a yellow rubber duck, lying on its side in a pool of blood that is coming from its eyes and a hole in its chest. It's on a red and black background with a white circle behind its body.

A grainy black and white photo of a play structure at night. There is a sketchy drawing of a large, eye-covered black blob sitting on the structure, slightly squished by the railings. Under it is a label that reads: "The Watch. Completely harmless". There is a signature in the corner that reads: "Maia W"

I also really want to find local zine swaps and fairs! I might host one myself, eventually

I should take photos of the physical copies of my new zines, but the first printing never goes totally to plan😅

Btw! I'm going to be using this account mostly as a portfolio page, so I'll be reposting and whatnot from my silly personal account more often than on this one

A sketchy drawing of a mothman-like creature on a grainy black and white photo of a park path at night. It stands in a patch of light cast by an unseen source. The creature is black and has a round, furry body with a nubby head, long arms dragging on the ground with long fingers, and bird-like legs that have vestigial legs dangling between them. It has insect wings and moth antennae. It's kind of cute. Under the creature is a caption that reads: "Bug. Curious and shy, will follow you at a distance." There is a signature in the corner that reads: "Maia W".

Your new friend! From my "Local Cryptids" zine.
