Could it be any easier to get inspired to make art?

it's not actually singing, it's vibrating muscles in a process called sonication and the high frequency vibes help the blueberry pollen actually fall out of the barrel shaped flowers because it's particularly sticky and heavy and anyways, Osmia atriventris is often called the Maine blueberry bee 🥺

So much of my art is based in my wonder the world and nature and weirdness and whimsy and just how cool things can be and any ways, did you know that there's a tiny blue mason bee that's particularly good at pollinating blueberries because it can "sing" the right song?

Had a little photoshoot in the garden my wife planted for r some of my prints and I just think it's neat

A floor standing embroidery frame lit by by morning sun. Currently attached on a scroll frame is a stretch of upcycled coffee sack canvas. Several small future miniature banners are sketched on the canvas featuring strange creatures. The strange creature on the bottom left is about 3/4 filled in with embroidery resembles a plump coral colored kiwi bird yelling at the sky.

Screenshot from the Instagram account of Zoddled - a digital illustration in dark blues and greens of a simply outlined and charming goose in the rain among starry grass. This was the inspiration for the "Draw This In Your Style" Prompt.

Colorful painting of a Goose in the rain - there are stars falling along with the rain, which is illustrated in dusty blues and cerulean drops. The goose is white, with shades of texture in stylized brush strokes in brighter whites and pale blues . Her eye is a starry gleam and she wears a pink bow.

gouache painting with one of my favorite motifs - the skull -covered head. What's under that neon pink bone mask? Is it a mask? It's hard to tell.

A vibrantly-colorful illustration of a highly detailed, miniature enclosed world. There are various magical-girl-style costumed femme figures who are posed and moving within a blocky, art-nouveau architecture inspired landscape colored in teal, purple, brass and silver. The scene does not follow standard linear perspective but has a flattend, isometric-abstract perspective (so figures like a mysterious woman observing out from a window in the top left are much larger than the women and girls in front of her. There are 3 central main-character girls in middle ground (color-themed in cyan, yellow and red) who are posed with their magical weapons/tools, such as a fan, sword, and moon staff, and are accompanied by their blocky magical support creatures (I imagine acting like stands or pokemon?). The top yellow-sword girl has pink hair, and appears related to the mysterious aforementioned window-woman. At left is an older magical-woman (the older sister of the cyan-moon girl?) raising a staff emitting ray of light that inverts the colors of the world in it’s path, which is shining on a moody, crouched girl who also has pink hair at the bottom right. Above the crouched girl is another professionally demure, office-dressed woman with hands clasped in prayer (the older sister of the red fan girl?). The humans are diverse and are imagined in a variety of black, brown and white skin tones. Below everyone a black-colored axolotl serpent decorated with stars and sparkles slithers through the landscape and splashes into water, and tagging along is its baby serpent. Many parts of the landscape are decorated with intricate tile work and stained glass pattern elements. Different blocks, piping and wires flow in and out of the different buildings, while two large sails are set in the top right background, above which floats a large, founder like fished decorated with a flower tile pattern.

Magique Nouveau ✨🎀 (I had so much fun trying to figure out how to decorate everything, inch by inch 🤧)

a illustration on white paper, set against a brown board. the illustration is in vibrant forest greens and magentas, with a strange feathered bird creature with four legs and a long neck. the creature is facing away from the viewer but their neck curves around to peer at us. a bright blue starry eye compliments the blue highlights in the magenta beak, while a lime green stripe of feathers stretch back And down it's neck to form a blanket of green draped across the bird-thing's neck.

That's Not A Shrubbery, Guy.

Gouache bird-being. Another I am very proud of.

Icon Vs. artist

Photograph of a sketchbook page with an illustration of a colorful deer-like creature. The creature is shaded in vibrant gouache strokes of different greens, rusts, mustard colors and browns, and seems partially furred in greenery. Vines and leaves and plant detritus drifts off of the deer-creature, blending into the leaf and grass scattered ground the creature's eye seems made of stars.

Close of photo of the previous illustration, showcasing the texture and layers of colorful green, brown, and teal detail that comprise the fur and shades muscle in the deer-creature's haunch.

I'm slowly going to start posting my blacklog from my insta and sketchbooks.
It's been hard to make art lately, but looking back at my lil guys makes me remember how much I love playing with color and weird creatures.

I started following you a while back (on ig) before I ever heard about or saw your piece on Little Guys - and given that little guys are my favorite thing to make, it's my favorite thing about your philosophy of art! Love this weirdo fish
