Howdy, partners! Back at work this week on my #minicomic, HOLY DIVER. A mysterious stranger comes to speak at our school about a sneaky way the devil can creep into our brains. What could it be? 🤔🤘👿 #comicart #nunsensestories #holydiver #catholicschool #childhoodmemories #blackandwhiteart #penandink #finelinerart #brushpen #mystaedtler #rachellemeyerart @therewise.enterprises @treehouse.ndsm #therewise #autobiocomics #womenincomics #comingsoon (at Ndsm Treehouse) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEmNl0ulntE/?igshid=1p03yk0a6p1u8

Looking for inspiration during the Line Dance #drawing event at @ndsmtreehouse hosted by @kinesthetisch. Thinking about going to @ijhallen or @pllek_amsterdam today? Drop by Treehouse from 12.00-18.00. We’ve got a group exhibit up in the cantina.

Here’s page 4 from my #comic HOLY DIVER. I like the cinematic landscape format (swipe left), but am mulling over whether I want to leave it in this #handdrawn state, or take it one step further into digital art.

COW ZEN. My dad’s dad raised beef cattle on his ranch. When I married a vegetarian Englishman and stopped eating red meat, I must have set him spinning in his grave like a Texas tornado. Both then and now, I get a lot of zen from just sitting with a cow. I propose we displace goat yoga with a new mindfulness barnyard trend: #cowsketching. #sketchbook #drawing #mindfulness #goatyoga #trending #cows #koe #staycation #vacationideas #escapetothecountry #rachellemeyerart #ruralsketchers @therewise.enterprises #therewise https://www.instagram.com/p/CDWLYkkFJAb/?igshid=ysdr0mzi8h57

Today, Stelcon open house at @ndsmtreehouse. Here’s a quick sketch of Antonio from @laaamsterdam as DJ before the live music started. Still going on until 10:00 pm. Drop by and soak up the vibe! 🌳🏠🌞 #sketchbook #drawing #livesketching #music #ndsm #fineliner #therewise (at Ndsm Treehouse) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDHFgZeFemr/?igshid=w1rrjb5uawj0

Establishing shots are hard work, but worth every bead of sweat to set up a story. First page for my new #comic HOLY DIVER, part of the #nunsensestories series. Texas, rock and roll and backmasking.

I joined @theaoi recently and, after a portfolio review and some serious thinking, have assembled a new streamlined folio of my graphic #facesontheferry style work. Thanks to @rachelericsondesign for a follow up consultation. I like where these colorful stepping stones are leading. #illustrationartists #editorialillustration #lifestyle #lifestyleillustration #cityillustration #travelandleisure #rachellemeyerart #comicart #sequentialart (at Ndsm Treehouse) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC6O2tPFeRl/?igshid=19hzbd3pwtong

Character sketch of someone I know quite well. 😇 Nunsense Stories is a series of three mini #comics based on advice that I received from nuns during my Catholic education. The stories are funny and warm, but also touch on themes of female role models and independent thinking. You’ve come a long way, baby. #characterdesign #sketch #comicart #catholicschool #autobiocomics #womenincomics #femaleillustrators #illustrationartist #texas #nunsensestories #rolemodel #rachellemeyerart #therewise @therewise.enterprises (at Ndsm Treehouse) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCtsFUiltHG/?igshid=huh0ejuo4we9

Longing for a golden #summer day, as seen in this #coverart for @helloamsterdam_ magazine that I made last year. Ah, well. All the more reason to keep #drawing and dreaming… ☔️ #rachellemeyerart #magazinecover #lifestyleillustration #illustrationartists #illustratorsofinstagram #summercolors #shopping #travel #vacationmode #amsterdam #damsquare (at Amsterdam) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCYqwWAFwrV/?igshid=14ppgpi7zy2eu

My brother and I had different personalities but two things in common: family ties, and a love for knee-high socks. Hey, it was the ‘80s.

A peek at my #thumbnail process and a title reveal for the first of a three-part #comic series I’m making called Nunsense Stories. *Holy Diver* delves into Catholic school, heavy metal, and early female role models. I pack a lot in a little package. #amwriting #amdrawing #rachellemeyerart #comicart #illustrationartists #bookstagram #autobiocomics #texas #childhoodmemories #heavymetal #nunsensestories #sketching #storytelling #womanartist #rolemodels #holydiver #graphicnovel (at Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCQqZ8TFfKz/?igshid=38vcc5y84irs

Here in #amsterdam the school vacation’s just started, and in the USA folks are easing into the July 4th weekend. I hereby declare this Summer Fun Day. Grab your loved ones and enjoy the scenery, even if it’s just in your own backyard. #artwork: “Diamonds” from the #facesontheferry seasonal collection, #summer, natuurlijk. #vacation #summervibes #yellow #gold #diamonds @themercuryrev #rachellemeyerart #ferry #fatherhood #fatherson #share #illustrationartists #therewise #july4th (at Amsterdam, Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCLz4QYlCKF/?igshid=1j0ary9tho9xa

Sorting through my paper drawers is a task as sentimental as sifting through old photos. I did find some earlier #comics projects, like “Ask Margie” from 2008. Still like the story, but what was I thinking with all that #crosshatching? Now I’ve got a cleaner approach that’ll keep the pages flowing. #drawing #cleaning #oldwork #comicart #illustrationartists #pencildrawing #storytelling #rachellemeyerart #writerillustrator #therewise https://www.instagram.com/p/CCIvyyjlTlz/?igshid=18tcpy3gygnvb

I just updated my website with new #illustration work, including this silly little spot from my textbook assignment. Maybe it’s not the grandest thing I’ve every done, but for some reason, I find it appealing. 🍌🙃 #bananas #illustrationartists #kidlitillustration #toucan #digitalart #photoshopart #silly #childrensbookillustration #yellow #linkinbio (at Amsterdam, Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB_LNhvFUIQ/?igshid=2jk2urj3wv77
