🧁 Overbaking season ✨ I love making different kinds of sweets but I’ve reached the age where I don’t eat them as much anymore haha, and neither does anyone in my house. This will be a print for my happy mail club for December if you’d like one sent out to you! ❄️ • • #christmasbaking #holidaybaking #foodart #pastelaesthetics #digitalpainter #postcards #stickershop #bakingfun #procreatedrawing https://www.instagram.com/p/CmKKxDGv6vn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Decided to paint a #pleinairpainting study. ☕️ I’m really liking the colors and shapes I come up with when I do my studies, but I can’t find a way to translate them into my personal paintings yet. I would start to like coffee at the point in my life when I’m trying to cut caffeine 🦩 So when I have it I’m trying to make the drinks super worth it. I made these mini Cocoa Puff topped cold brew black cafs a few weeks ago, and they’re my fave to indulge in when I’m craving chocolate 🍨 Sooo good • • #pleinair #paintingstudy #illustragram #coldbrewblackcaf #disneydrinks #disneycoffee #sketchbookartist #deskdecor https://www.instagram.com/p/CmCdJgMPQeB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#artvartist2022 It’s so cool getting to do these each year, and have a ton to look back on to see what I was into doodling. I think I draw much more simpler now, and with less time and struggle compared to 2019 haha. Much more appreciation for simpler moments and crazier trips; Exploring digital painting styles out of my comfort zone. But a lot less posting, so I’m happy I found enough to put into one of these posts 🙏🎀 I wish I could show more of the amazing things that happened this year through my IG paintings, but my sketchbooks and cameras are a little more full and that makes me just as happy ☺️ Previous years from 2021, 2020, and 2019 are on the next slides • • #artvsartist #digitalart #illustration #stickershop #romanticinspo #dateideas #procreate #ipadpro #ipadprocreate https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl6ej8ZLCPy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🍣🎂 One of our favorite sushi places @domodomojc haha. My boyfriend and I share a birthday in November (he’s about 14 hours older I think 😒) and this was our second time celebrating it as a couple back in the fall. We couldn’t go out our first birthday together because of Covid, so it felt great finally being able to eat out this year. It was our first time having a multiple course meal and that felt really special. @kumachris & @matkobe also surprised us having a date in the opposite corner of the restaurant, and their thoughtful birthday gifts made our night 😭 Thank you again!! We were gushing over them on our whole commute home 🥲 Procrastinated making this or any personal paintings in a while, so this felt good to finish ���� • • #illustration #couplegoals #birthdaycard #digitalpainting #digitalillustration #procreateart #datenight #sushilovers #sushibar (at Domo Domo JC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeWVcaHr3gq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Finally finished this month’s print design!! This was so much fun to explore and do. Lineless and shape drawing has never been my strongpoint and I’m loving the learning process 🌻 • • #illustrationartists #illustration #vectorart #cafeart #donutlover #sketchaday #coffeelover #linelessart #linelessartwork (at Jersey City, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdYgFpxrJek/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I used to think it’d be a chore, but now it’s really relaxing to trim flowers and put them in a vase. Whether they’re from someone or if I bought them for myself it always brightens my room 😌 Small happy things. These were back from Valentines Day and lasted a good three weeks 🤗 If you guys have any tips to keeping vase flowers around longer pls share 🪴 • • • #plantsofinstagram #flowerarrangement #illustration #digitalart #procreatedrawing #flowerlovers #digitalillustration #pinkaesthetic #desksetups https://www.instagram.com/p/CcYGEZbLSgu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🐠🦑 Back in November on our aquarium birthday date. I remember this being the first exhibit that was empty so we just sat and enjoyed it for a while. Took a break from plenairs yesterday and tried to apply those brushes and shapes into another painting. This is the most comfortable I’ve ever been with lineless painting and I’m so happy 😭 • • #sealifeaquarium #americandream #aquarium #conceptartwork #digitalartist #illustrationartists #underwaterimages #aquariumlife #datepaintings (at SEA LIFE Aquarium) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcLTKqLL82E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Visited @baonanas last month to see their yard and the mural I designed forever ago 😭😋 It’s so huge LOL 🐻 Swipe for the reference pic and some closeups! @warriorpainters • • #pleinairpainting #baonananation #pleinairpril #visualdevelopment #linelessart #sketchaday #painting #instadessert #bananapudding (at Baonanas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcIpPsFrMjI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

4/30. ⛅️🚃 You guys picked this location to paint from my last story poll - Drawing the light rail station has always intimidated me 😵‍💫 So I’m personally really proud with how this came out. Lots of quick simplifying and deconstructing from my pixelated reference photo lol. • • #weehawken #weehawkennj #lightrail #njtransit #pleinairpril #pleinairpainting #drawingchallenge #trainstations #digitalillustration (at Port Imperial Waterfront) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcGKrIwrkcq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#pleinair 3 🌥☕️ Wanted to study something with a bit more complex architecture. There’s a ton of detail everywhere so trying to simplify a ton of it too.
