"Thistle Be Nice"

A splashy splashy self portrait - the only self portrait i ve done all year??? Last year I did a self portrait a week (some times daily) and it was such an interesting project! I think I wanna do it again next year!

Underglazing day!!! 🥰

A small handful of little ink paintings (approx A6 size). I may or may not have some plans for them... hmm! :) Which one is your favourite? #ink #painting #art #design #illustration #floral #stayathome (at Stay At Home) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-oUEy6hK2s/?igshid=1f8e5s5n0e8jl

Wow! Hello April! What a wild March it way, I hope you’ve all been looking after yourselves and each other. Who has a birthday in April?! 💕 wishing you all the happiness and sparkly glowing love! You’re amazing and magical and I love you 😍 Here is the April Illo I did for my 2020 calendar and it’s probably my favourite from the collection 🌿 #illustration #instaart #drawing #bugs #cute #art #supportsmallbusiness #nature #garden #stayhome https://www.instagram.com/p/B-dfJCjhWew/?igshid=1psnpdmk26ek8

Over the last couple of days I have gone through tubs of original drawings and paintings and photographed them and uploaded them to my shop! Some of the pieces are retro 🙃👍 ranging from 2012 to 2019! Prices are SUPER LOW too, some at Aud $25 up to about $150 or so! So, if you've had your heart set on snaching up an original, now is the time! You can find my Etay shop via the link in description 💖 Love you all and thank you for supporting small businesses and artists during these really tough times. You're keeping us afloat 💖💖💖 #shopsale #sale #discount #art #artwork #drawing #painting #illustration #cheapart #artsale #artistsupportartists #shoplocal #supportsmallbusiness https://www.instagram.com/p/B97orNNhWxQ/?igshid=yg7x241scuuh

I had too much fun here! I challenged myself to use only highlighters from @stabiloau to create an illustration! The pastel highlighters are really nice and I found I could use them almost like inks/watercolour. . . . #highlighter #highlighterchallenge @stabilo #drawing #marker #markers #illustration #art #design #rainbowillustration #floral #rainbow #portrait #rainbow #rainbowart https://www.instagram.com/p/B56j22zhw_e/?igshid=evzab3gsz2h
