Day 9 (Prompt 5) of @camillepfister's #SeaGirlfriends #drawingchallenge: #Ocean #Pollution. Back in 2010, when BP had that huge oil spill in the Gulf, I took part in an artists' movement called Ripple, by creating an ATC to be sold to raise money for the International Bird Rescue Research Center (bird-rescue.org/). For today's prompt I thought I'd redo the ATC; I've included the original from 10 years ago. . More details about Ripple can be found at ripplesketches.blogspot.com  . . . #MerMay #mermay2020 #marker #inktense #ink #inktenseblocks #watercolor #illustration #oilspill #art #painting #wacommermay2020 #ripple https://www.instagram.com/p/B__NBrgjHCd/?igshid=1mooopkg4i2rz

Day 27 of @camillepfister's #SeaGirlfriends #drawingchallenge: #Purrmaids. I guess they're not really girlfriends as they're all boy #kitties: @generalhuggs @supremecatkylo and @creedcatton. I've been struggling to draw or paint lately in this heat, but I thought I'd just do a simple #sketch. . . . #MerMay #mermay2020 #mermaids #mercats #pencil #drawing #wacommermay2020 #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CAwTAVVhcJ5/?igshid=9iirth7t8bo5

Day 17 (Prompt 9) of @camillepfister's #SeaGirlfriends #drawingchallenge: #childrensbook. I created my own character for a book that may someday be written. I kept calling her The Dancingest Mermaid. . . . #MerMay #mermay2020 #mermaid #marker #ink #inktenseblocks #childrensbooks #childrensbookillustration #illustration #painting #drawing #wacommermay2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CATGgIfj6Qj/?igshid=2vypp7ooext8

Day 13 & 15 (Prompt 7 & 8) of @camillepfister's #SeaGirlfriends #drawingchallenge: #CostumeHistory & #Courtesan. I'm having a hard week, so I decided to combine the two prompts and chose to reimagine #MataHari as a #mermaid. The famous photo of her I used for reference is from 1905. . . . #MerMay #mermay2020 #marker #inktense #inktenseblocks #ink #watercolor #illustration #painting #drawing #wacommermay2020 #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CAL65jBhyaL/?igshid=ufn8pb4jgc1h

Oh and it's #MerMay again. This year, I'm participating in @camillepfister's #SeaGirlfriends prompts. They're every other day which feels more manageable to me this year. So here's day one: #Dracula with his Sea Girlfriend. #mermay2020 #marker #ink #watercolor #inktense #illustration #mermaid #vampire #art #painting https://www.instagram.com/p/B_q29pFjep5/?igshid=zqoz8433aeyr
