Turned that character sketch of Curious George I did a couple of weeks ago into a refined mini ink painting! 🐒 Gave it to my brother and sister-in-law as a baby shower present 😍 I'm very happy with how it turned out. #inktober #inktober2019 #inktoberfest #curiousgeorge #curiouserandcuriouser #indiaink #indiainkart #archespaper #painting #paintersoninstagram #monkey #monkeyseemonkeydo #childrensbooks #margaretrey #classic #color #ink #banana #goingbananas #graphicdesign #artsy #drawing #inkdrawing #childhoodmemories #inking #books #nephew #auntie #illustration #inkartist #illustrator (at Georgetown, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3M-DDSACTJ/?igshid=1josvmoui9yqh

Happy Birthday Beatrix! 🎂🎁 On this day in 1866, Beatrix Potter was born 153 years ago. During her lifetime, she created one of the most iconic characters in children's literature. Her illustrations are the epitome of quaint Victorian illustration all the while without compromising on anatomical and botanical accuracy 🐇🥕 @officialbeatrixpotter @peter.rabbits.adventures @thebeatrixpottersociety @beatrixpottergiftsbyenesco @worldofbeatrixpotter #beatrixpotter #peterrabbit #onthisday #bunny #onthisdayinhistory #rabbit #garden #cottagegarden #carrots #carrots🥕 #foxglove #strawberries #Victorian #victoriangardens #read #reading #sneakpeek #wip #drawing #artsy #art #drawer #bookstagram #blackandwhite #literature #workinprogress #blackandwhite #beatrix #happybirthday #childrensbooks #classic #childhoodmemories #illustration #beatrixpotterworld #illustratorsoninstagram #pencilsketch #pencil #childrensliterature #childrensbookillustration (at Georgetown, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0eHyd0B_vY/?igshid=pkuqg5on2wqs

Doing a ink and character test for a super secret painting I'm doing for my nephew! That's right, I'm going to be an Auntie!😱 I'll be creating a panoramic landscape of beloved literary characters from children's books 📚 So amped-up to get started!!

A reproduction of the comic strip: "Calvin and Hobbes." I drew, inked and watercolored it meself. It's another comicstrip for my brother who's going through Basic Training right now. 😂You can do it, brah! 😘 #basictraining #army #armybrat #calvinandhobbes #mischievous #brother #baseball #baseball⚾️ #baseballbat #littlebrother #hooah #firsttry #brokenwindow #accident #drawing #illustration #funnycomics #baseballboys #calvin #hobbes #usarmy #ink #incolor #watercolor #art #graphicdesign #painter #mortwalker #comic #comicstrip #billwatterson #brah #bro #comicstripart#armylife #funny (at Georgetown, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxQXPSqgG2B/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13jhirgj02nig

A reproduction of a Pearls Before Swine comic strip (a personal favorite of mine 😁) I drew, inked and watercolored it meself. It's another comicstrip for my brother who's going through Basic Training right now. My hypothesis is that by drawing a new comic in each letter I send it will give him a little something to look forward to and hopefully get him to laugh and/or groan at my love of corny humor. It's a win-win either way! 😂Hang in there bro! 😘 #basictraining #army #armybrat #pearlsbeforeswine #corny #stephanpastis #brother #puns #littlebrother #missingyou #punnyjokes #hooah #enema #arrear #punny #drawing #noifsandsorbuts #usarmy #rat #pig #goat #ink #watercolor #art #graphicdesign #letters #favorite #paintersoninstagram #painter #mortwalker #comic #comicstrip #comicstripart#armylife #funny #lol #staedtler #staedtlerpens #staedtlerwatercolourpencils #graphicdesignersoninstagram (at Georgetown, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw5tMVeAC0u/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n0id2rgdokdm

"There is only happiness in this life is, to love and be loved." -- Amantine Dupin aka George Sand I thought I'd be appropriate to share this on Siblings Day. This is the chalkboard illustration I created for my little brother's wedding. 🤵👰 It's the first time I've worked with liquid chalk and I have to confess: I LOVE IT! The ceremony went off nearly without a hitch and the bride and groom were glowing with joy. I wish my brother and my new sister-in-law all the happiness life and marriage has to offer 😘 Congratulations! #siblingsday #happysiblingsday #littlebrother #sisterinlaw #bride #groom #brideandgroom #wedding #chalkboardart #chalkboard #liquidchalk #spring #springtime #chalkboardsign #flowers #springflowers #purple #blue #green #color #illustration #art #chalk #artistsofinstagram #drawing #design #illustratorsoninstagram #georgesand #love #truelove #April #springwedding (at Georgetown, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwFXt0AgK4h/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nn7xgefzf2jz

Happy Hug A G.I. Day! Take a day to hug and thank a soldier for all of the sacrifices they have made to protect us. You might make someone's day! My dad has been active duty in the Army for 30 years. I am so unbelievably proud of him, of his many years of service and sacrifice to protect our country and, most important of all, to have him as my dad. I'm proud to be an Army brat! Hooah!

Happy Old Stuff Day! I'd been meaning to post this since last summer but three BIG projects got in the way. So, without further ado: "Portrait of Morris Ubben and His Sons." I was commissioned to paint this by a widow whose husband recently passed away. She chose her favorite photo of her husband and her sons for me to recreate in pen and ink. After the painting was complete, I had them printed on 5x7 in. canvases with stands (by her request). She gave the copies on canvas to her sons as gifts for Father's Day. The original is framed and kept at her house. #kaitlinbaylieillustrationsanddesigns #kaitlinbaylie #indiaink #indiainkart #portrait #portraitpainting #oldstuff #portraitpainter #commissionedart #commission #nationaloldstuffday #comissionsopen #gesso #watercolorpaper #hotpressed #paintings #paintersoninstagram #illustration #artporn #illustratorsoninstagram #camping #backyardcamping #childhoodmemories #tent #coleman #colemanlantern (at Georgetown, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bug8HyaARhH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11s99yjz2dv12
