missing home ♥ Between yard work and renos, our jobs, and every other thing in the world keeping matt & I busy, I’m really itching for a trip to Digby. The water, the food, hanging out in my mums quilt shop with her and her crazy friends, coffee and dessert while my family and i watch a movie after supper, glass hunting, meals at grams, foggy nights in the cove with the stanton’s, whale watching with kemp. summer i’m digby is the best. gotta get there soon. love & miss you all. . . . . #digby #novascotia #digbyns #homesick #art #moleskine #sketchbook #ink #penandink #nautical #ocean #anchor #whales #whalewatching #sea #beach #beachglass #drawing #illustration #workspace #eastcoast #beejaedee (at Digby, Nova Scotia)

Beautiful #dippen #nautical #typographyart by Bee Stanton (@beejaedee) expressing a love of the sea. A sailing ship cruising over waters basking in fading sunlight, some gorgeous hand-drawn frame in the form of flowers and plants, and some great handlettering. I really love how the word "Home" sits in the vegetation, the cursive "is by the sea text," and that scrolling windy twist of paper that flows around the bottom of the drawing. Great work, Bee! Check out Bee's page for some great information about where to find copies of her art for sale! ::------:: #illustration #sea #ocean #penandink #novascotia #schooner #lettering #handlettering #drawing #flowers #flora #maritime #eastcoast #ship #beach #beachglass #ink #beejaedee #waves #lighting #oceandrawing #clippership

In light of... a lot of things going on this week, I've been thinking about Canada and how much I love it. And folks who know me well know that political discussion about Canada vs the US.. well let's just say it doesn't bring out the best in me (i absolutely hate facebook right now). So I decided to focus on everything I like about my country rather than everything I don't like about others. I like how annoyingly polite we are (I really do), I like our hospitality and kindness, our scenery and vast variety of outdoor terrain, the oceans forever being my favourite. I love the easy going temperament of east coasters and diverse cultures and styles of the west coast. I love soooo many things about this country. I love seeing new places but I am beyond blessed and could never fully express how grateful I am to be born and raised in such a place. So. All that being said, my fellow Canadians, if the label doesn't say "Made in Canada", put it back. Support this country. The weight of our problems do not lie on only our leaders' shoulders. It's on all of us to look after ourselves. So stop demanding so much and start helping. 💛🇨🇦 much love xo . . . . #canada #canadian #tariffs #trade #patriot #moleskine #lettering #handlettering #drawing #illustration #ink #penandink #notebook #bulletjournal #sketchbook #art #type #typography #beejaedee

I've seen this quote pop up several times in the last few months and each time I saw it I wanted to draw it, but for whatever reason I held back. Be it guilt for folks who have seasonal depression or just depression in general, I felt it was kinda touchy. But I kept seeing it and it continued to resonate with me. I've always loved all the seasons, I love having that change to look forward to. I love being able to hunker down and snuggle up in the winter or enjoy the sunshine and sea in the summer or the sound of rain on a roof. All that aside, when you wake in the morning, have things in your life that mean so much to you that the colour of the sky outside doesn't affect it. Love and appreciate everything around you. Live in the moment, not in the next nice day. 💛 By the way, you can watch some of the process to this drawing in my stories and I will add them to my highlights as well! . . . . #moleskine #illustration #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #notebook #bulletjournal #art #handlettering #lettering #type #typography #dippen #penandink #inkdrawing #workspace #design #creativesontherise #creativeminds #letterlove #beejaedee (at Nova Scotia)

new series? 🙃 lately I've been loving experimenting with character illustration or comics or whatever you wanna call it. So I'm not a fan complaining but thought this would be fun. I know we all have our social media pet peeves and I wanted to draw some of mine. I'm calling them #DumbThingsThatAnnoyMe because they really are the most petty and childish things to be bothered by! so guys, don't take offense if these are things that you do. it's just my stupid irritations. #itsnotyouitsme 😂 All that aside, what dumb things annoy you guys on social media? Tell me in the comments. or better yet, join the fun and illustrate it with me and add the hashtag to your post so I can see :) . . . #illustration #moleskine #sketchbook #comic #comicart #petpeeves #instagramstories #snapchat #socialmedia #food #art #workspace #studioscenes #copic #copicart #copicmarkers #beejaedee
