Today’s sketch. No fear! Tag someone who could use a lil’ light! Let It Shine. We all can use a little light from time to time. Make sure you spread a bit of that shine to someone who could use it. No fear here, just love my sisters and brothers! . Spread that light! Share that love! ✌🏽 . #MelonJames #fullhearted #theheartscontent #characterdesign #characters #melonheads (at MyHeart) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_ySTEVpg32/?igshid=1uy84buiq6khi

Wet Paint submission. Thanks @wearewetpaint and @persue1 for doing this. It kept me busy and learning a new medium. As we practice weather the storm ⛈ by practicing Social 📏Distancing, the earth is thriving in so many ways by less people pounding the pavement. It’s as if we have been giving the earth a break from our shenanigans. But we’ve learned that we can still spread love and we can still learn to create and build, brick by brick. So as long as we maintain our practices and feel the joy of being closer to our loved ones don’t forget that the sun will always shine. This is just one storm we must face to get through this. . In this piece I took two murals I painted in the past of spreading your love through the community and mashed them up. I redesigned the characters and the greenery to make it more original to this piece. I also realized that procreate tracks your strokes and hours. 26522 strokes and 38hours & 49minutesb is what it took to create this. 🤯✨ . This is my submission. Hope you enjoy. 😊🤙🏽✨ . #melonjames #fullhearted #wetpaintcontest2020 #wearewetpaint #characterdesign #illustrationart (at My Heart) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_qTghfJvSx/?igshid=9p0s06dtcyo1

In these times I have to admit as sad as it is that so many have lost loved ones it is also a time that I and the rest of the world has connected with their loved ones. My wife and I have had countless conversations, laughs, tears, disagreements and more. Even when we both had our head phones on while we worked we still connected so much just by stares, winks, and small smiles. I hope everyone one has taken enough time out to connect with your loved ones or even yourself for that matter. . Stay connected with each other and if not stay connected with yourself, that’s huge! If you have to disappear go ahead, as long it’s for personal growth- do it! . #stayconnected #withlovedones #melonjames #fullhearted #digitalart (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-xipY8pOem/?igshid=1du9ahzpp879l

As we have come to a time where it almost seems the earth stopped, it doesn’t mean we have to. Keep moving, keep growing, don’t stop! . . #melonjames #fullhearted #getwaves #keepmoving #wegotthis (at Humboldt Park Chicago Ill 60622) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-p1iQXJKuP/?igshid=y3frww597kln
