Lately I’ve been working on a series of greeting cards and stationery focused around teacups, and now I’m starting to incorporate cups from my family’s personal collections. My new goal is to maybe include a bit of dictated narrative with all the illustrations (like on the back of the card or something), since I know each cup has a story whether they’ve been gifted, inherited, or purchased. I’ve been livestreaming my process, and I’ve discovered a whole world of tea that I didn’t realize existed! Did you know there are two plants that brew edible blue-hued tea? Ha!! Neither did I!
I’ve taken to making a pot every time I stream. My favorite tea thus far is Good Earth’s “Hibiscus, Rose, and Sweet Berries” herb tea. Yummm!

Hi! Trying to push myself towards a still unclear goal, I made time and tackled some online challenges, besides the SVS challenge (which is the best
). Coloring is still something I am struggling with, but I will adress that better after I feel more confident over ideas, composition and poses. For these, I inked manually and colored digitally

I've been helping make raffle items for our high school drama club, who like many other schools is putting on Mamma Mia for their spring musical. It was a fun opportunity to flex my graphics skills. I usually don't have so much time to produce, because I teach full time, but it was April Vacation here in MA. Here are the things I have done. It was fun trying to capture the disco vibe!
Not sure what can be done with this graphic, but it was a fun mental challenge, like visual sudoku!
This boot graphic is going to be a wall sign that my husband will cut out of wood.
(a few of the process sketches for the flipped letters)
A graphic for an iron-on that is going on a tote bag. My daughter came up with the Bunny Bunny idea as a parody of ABBA's Honey Honey.
I crocheted some ABBA-style flower beanies to add to the baskets.

It may sound weird but I'm bummed that I'm not doing this months prompt because everyone is having so much fun on this one but I have a job I have a tight deadline on so something has to give. I should be happy to have work right? but I want to do this prompt (wah,wah) Here's a sample of what I'm doing instead.!

@jenn I love these! Really fun project
the dancing queen graphic is awesome. Just a thought, maybe one of the "e" in queen as a buckle on the shoe? Anyway, it is fun and readable the way you did it. -
@Larue looks like you're having fun with the "proper work" :))) I'm all for drawing pigs, this looks adorable

@Oana
Thanks, when drawing animals I’m in my happy place. -
@Oana thanks for the suggestion! I would have tried that idea if I had more time!
This was the final that I used for the iron-on:
