We made it through another day, folks. I finished a new painting in honor of the occasion. I hope it brings you a moment of peace, and space to take a breath. 🕊

Japanese maple in progress. 🍁

Took a walk through Tulip Alley today.🌷🌷🌷

Thought it was about time for a sketchbook share. Here is a bunny eating a chocolate chip cookie for your Monday. Nom nom.....

🌸💮🩷 On this final day of my shop sale, I'm sharing one of my most popular pieces to date, which also happens to be one of my oldest drawings. While I am not able to enjoy hanami in Japan (much to my dismay), I enjoy, in my small way, bringing it to life through art. I hope it brightens your day.

A great place to start would be to model appropriate public- health-oriented behavior....by wearing a respirator mask to protect yourself and others from Covid while you are protesting and advocating for better public health.

There is not anything to say about Trump that has not already been said countless times, so I do not typically comment on him. BUT SWEET BABY JESUS, HE IS AN UNHINGED MADMAN, and I truly fear for every living being on this planet and beyond right now.

The color changing is amazing but what always gets me is they make their body’s texture look like rocks and coral. Fascinating. IG: ibrahim.elhariry

Happy Easter, all. 🌸🐇🕊🩷

🩷🌸🐰 Up to 40% shop sale is still on! 🩷🌸🐰 If you are in need of something to jot down your thoughts in, may I helpfully suggest a cheerful, sakura-themed notebook? 😉💮 The original drawing was done using pencil & Chinese watercolors - no AI here! 😘💗

🖤🤍 Up to 40% off everything in my shop today 🤍🖤 This recent brush pen drawing of a heron was inspired by the great blue herons I often see in the wetland areas in my neighborhood. It makes my day when I am lucky enough to spot one. If you have a fondness for them as well, this piece is for you. ❤️

I'm not one to complain, but I so miss the freedom of 2019 living - before Covid changed everything. I'm adaptable, but it hits me sometimes - how drastically different my life is now. I know I'm not the only one, and others have had it harder than I have, but I still feel that loss. And it's tough.

It's baffling that people question how plants turn into burgers but don't stop to think about how animals do.

So much suffering in this world is beyond my immediate control. I can't stop wars I can't stop genocides I can't stop pain and anguish But, I can do my part to break the patterns that perpetuate harm: I can choose nonviolence I can denounce evil I can wear a respirator mask I can be kind

Up to 40% off everything in my shop 🩶 Several new pieces are available, including this new brush pen drawing. It's a little bit surreal, a little bit whimsical, a little bit Zen, and all completely hand-rendered. I hope it brings a moment of stillness to your day.🌙 www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1795...

If respirator masks were required in medical settings, as they should be, exposure to measles would be greatly reduced. I'm just saying....

On this #KidLitArtPostcard day, Fenton is enjoying a lovely spring afternoon with his new friend. I'm Angela, a traditional artist looking for projects & #SeekingRepresentation. I offer gentle, whimsical handmade art for children & the young at heart. Portfolio: angelamariemorton.crevado.com

Woot, there's an up to 40% off sale running in my shop! If you are looking for a little something, now is the time your dollars will stretch the farthest. As an artist and illustrator who uses exclusively traditional, physical mediums, you will never have to wonder how my work was made. 🫶

Yes, I am tired of wearing a respirator mask every single I I leave the house. No, I will not stop wearing one. I am adult enough to be able to be tired, honest, and responsible all at the same time. It is not that hard, really.

Happy April, all. It's a new month, which means it's time for a new blog post! In this brief piece, I list my favorite writers and my favorite work by each of them. If you enjoy reading about books, or are looking for a new author to try, I invite you to have a read. 😘📚🫶

I haven't titled this one yet, but I took inspiration from the sumi-e painting tradition to create this simple, minimal black ink piece. I hope it brings a moment of Zen to your feed, and your day.

As a traditional analog artist, I find it extremely depressing that platforms catering to creative people promote Gen AI as a benefit (website builders, email newsletters, product design sites, etc.). AI makes me want to run for the hills. It DOES NOT make me want to use your product. 🙅‍♀️🚫

Thought we could all do with a brief moment of calm, so here is a brush pen and Chinese watercolor piece for your feed. 🫶🌸⛩️ www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1728...

Read an article today about Covid variant BA.3.2 ("Cicada"). The DOCTOR cited in the article suggested the following: 1. Wash your hands 2. Stay home if sick 3. Go outside 4. Talk to your doctor Masks? Nary a whisper (despite the photo they used for the headline). I just cannot with this BS.🤦‍♀️😷

𝗪𝗪𝗝𝗕 Who Would Jesus Bomb?

This world seems to go going in the wrong direction faster and faster every day. If you feel the same, I hope this sakura painting brings you a moment of calm and quiet. 🙏🏼🌸 www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1705...

I'm seeing no masks at "No Kings." Being against Trump and all he represents is easy. And trendy. Wearing a mask AND being against Trump and all he represents is also easy. But not trendy. I am against Trump and all he represents. But I also wear a respirator mask. Both actions are possible.

Is there anything more adorable on this planet than baby elephants? I ask you....

Getting out of my comfort zone today and using a brush and sumi-e ink for the figure in this piece, rather than my trusty brush pen. 😬 So far, so good..?...🤷‍♀️

Morning sketch, just to loosen up. Hope it brings you a moment of calm amongst the madness, chaos, and suffering in all of our feeds.

Happy Friday, all. Here is the newest Algernon adventure for you, in which our intrepid little friend meets a friendly flamingo. Please enjoy. ❤️ Oh, and I almost forgot - all greeting cards are 25% off today, so I invite you to visit my shop and stock up. 😘🙏🏼 www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1792...

Someone else's success in the publishing industry doesn't diminish your own chance of success. Boost fellow writers and illustrators. Try very hard not to compare yourself to others (I struggle with this, too). Focus on finding your own joy at your own pace. #Uplift #KidLit #WriterSky

Our dependence and reliance on both oil and technology will be our downfall and demise. And unwillingness to acknowledge the realities of Covid will only add to the suffering. I know it's dooom-y, but in order for any change to be made, we must first face the truth. The only way out is through.

Everything about this = NO.

With gas prices going sky-high, many of us are trying to cut costs. As someone who has a precarious financial situation, I understand the stress. I created "A Capsule Kitchen" as a way to keep grocery costs down and still eat healthily. Thought I'd share the link, in case others find it useful. 🙏🏼❤️

Happy Wedneday, all. I'm taking next week off, so I've been busily adding new pieces to my shop this week, as well as writing April's blog post. In honor of spring & the upcoming sakura season, I thought I'd share this pen and watercolor work today. 🤍🖤❤️🌸💮 www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1795...

Alice Wong's Celebration of Life is TOMORROW, March 25, 2026 from 11am-1pm PT.

This took me all afternoon, but I am glad that I took my time and got it to where I am happy with it. I hope it brings a moment of Zen to your day.🙏🏼🖤🤍❤️

Quick crane study this morning. I just never get tired of drawing these majestic creatures. 🩶

Splatter technique practice today. Harder than it seems...😅

When I'm out & about in my respirator mask, I feel a kinship with the few people who are also masking. Most of my interactions are fine, though I get the sense people think I'm weird for "still" wearing a mask. My husband wrote this piece & I thought it would resonate with some who are like-minded.

I just love the late morning light in our apartment, especially on the plants. Perfection. 🌱☕️🌄

🌸🩷 Last day of the current 25% off sale in my shop 🌸🩷 Spring is here, and I am enjoying every minute of it. Even just an ordinary neighborhood walk is filled with all the colors and textures of the season. If you enjoy this time of year as well, I hope you are able to make the most of it. 💮💗

Happy Saturday, all. Here is a wee mouse in his boat for you. ❤️🩵

Everyone Getting Ill More Easily Now Nothing At All To Do With That Virus That Makes You Get Ill More Easily Say Doctors

Wearing a respirator mask in all situations of potential contagion is an extremely effective way of avoiding getting and spreading airborne infectious diseases, such as Covid-19.
