I’ll be there with a basket of this years Mari pins and other items if the weather is good 😛 Gorgeous artwork by & @joshwarrenartist.bsky.social

Such a lovely review from Twig! Thank you so much for your kind words and support for my art 💚 rowynnellis.etsy.com

I came across this bamboo fold up table and it’s an absolute game changer! Sitting at the desk can be painful sometimes as can sitting on the couch.. especially when I slowly turn into a prawn 🦐 . Having a fold up table that tilts like this is perfect!

This will come as a surprise to absolutely no one 😅 But I have two very cute dragon statues in my garden and hope someday to acquire some more 👀 A very fancy Green Man watches over them 🌱

Iroh frantically woke us up this morning because clearly “Something is very wrong with the outside” 😂😅 This is the first time he’s seen snow, so we spent a bit of time exploring the garden together before he decided his paws were too cold and he wanted to be back inside by the fireplace

Slowly chipping away at this commission with the fire in the background and Vince playing Animal Crossing 😛 It feels good to work on something traditional, I’ve not worked this way on such a large scale in a long time! #foxart #inkdrawing #illustration

2026. I will draw, even if it’s bad. I will draw, even if it’s challenging. I will draw, even if it’s been done before. I will draw, even if it’s imperfect. I will draw, even if someone else is better. I will draw, even if I have much to learn. I will draw because it’s fun. Because I’m human.

I'm sharing this process video from 2015 in the hopes of revisiting this artwork once again, pouring all the skills. experiences and knowledge I've accumulated since then. Also to reclaim her in my own way. youtu.be/F48LLdPFMIM #marilwyd #welshartist

🍏 Hope passing between two years 🍏 Wishing you all a kind and happy 2026 💚

My #instagramtopnine for 2025. Thank you so much to those who’ve supported my work this year. I’m going to be honest, I’m exhausted, so it feels like I don’t have many words. This year has been an incredibly transformative one 💚

Working on something traditional for the first time in a very long time, it feels nice to work with inks in such a raw and unforgiving way. These photos also made me very aware of just how strangely I hold my pen and how I have to sit to support my body when working...

Just made a new post on Patreon after making some much needed changes, going into the new year with a fresh organised outlook for my ongoing projects: www.patreon.com/cw/RowynnEllis

2025 Luminescent Mushroom Mari Pins are now live!!! They arrived this morning and the timing couldn’t have been better for the winter solstice 🥰 Im so impressed with the fine detail of these! SHOP: rowynnellis.etsy.com #marilwyd #welshartist

Nadolig Llawen from Cymru 💚🌲✨ Iroh is of course at the head of the table :P

Mari postcards (I totally forgot I had) have been listed in the shop, it’s perfect timing though if you want some in time for Hen Galan 👀 SHOP: rowynnellis.etsy.com #marilwyd #welshartist #yule

So glad we could make the Alban Arthan (winter solstice) celebrations this year at Bryn Cellu Ddu. It was cloudy, as us expected this time of year, but for a brief moment we all witnessed the most beautiful sunset 🥰 #marilwyd #marimôn #solstice

Early Winter Solstice piece Mari Bringer of Light

Without downloading any pics, where are you mentally? …

Even cryptids need rest sometimes

Just posted a new WIP on my Patreon, those who enjoy my Mari Lwyd works will enjoy this one I hope 😅 Also I’ve made it so you can unlock individual sketch posts without subscribing 💚 www.patreon.com/RowynnEllis

I've started a shop over on TeePublic selling T-Shirts and Hoodies. At the moment there's only two designs available, but I'm aiming to create more designs specifically for clothing: www.teepublic.com/user/rowynn-...

Just dropped a new thumbnail sketch on Patreon for an art series I’m working on depicting the children of Loki, creatures and characters I’ve always been fascinated by when reading Norse Mythology www.patreon.com/RowynnEllis

Artists, quote with your faces 💚

I wanted to turn these hagstones gifted to myself and Vincent from friends into something we could wear, so I turned them into necklaces with leather cord and hand-made glass beads I’ve been saving for something special 🥰

Update from my supplier, the Mushroom Mari pins are ready to be shipped! Hopefully they arrive in time for Hen Galan celebrations 🤞🏻👀🤞🏻 #marilwyd #welshartist #cymrufolklore

A heartfelt thank you to all who buy from independent artists, hire us, or even share our work or give words of encouragement. Even the most established of artists are feeling a decline in work and sales this year. Your support in all or any way is felt and appreciated amongst us! Thank you!!

worm for you

Work in progress, depicting the infamous dragons of Dinas Emrys. I feel this has potential to become something quite special, a tapestry, an embossed and foiled note book? What do you think? #dragonart #welshartist #illustration

I’ve just dropped a ton of new WIP’s, thumbnails and sketches for my new project over on Patreon 👀 www.patreon.com/RowynnEllis

Growing up in Cymru I was surrounded by images and tales of Ddraig (Dragons). Ever since I was a child I have been completely obsessed with them and that passion has only grown as I've gotten older. #dragonart #welshartist

From now on there will be a flat fee of $2 for Patreon supporters to gain access to my sketchbook and thumbnails. Offering insight into my creative process as it happens 👀 www.patreon.com/RowynnEllis

Submitted these works to Infected By Art this year 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 #infectedbyart #artist #fantasyart

Just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who bought this postcard and donated to the charity 'Mermaids', who we were fund raising for during this years events. We raised a total of £89! <3 - mermaidsuk.org.uk

It’s been both humbling and heartwarming to read all the lovely comments on ‘Here be Dragons’ I can’t thank everyone who backed this project enough! And to the wonderful team @eyeofnewtbooks.bsky.social for making this project happen 💚

Spotted the pesky Llandudno Kashmiri Goats grazing up on the Orme :P If you want to learn more about them: www.thegoat-llandudno.co.uk/blog/the-his... #goats #llandudnogoats #wales

Pony skull painted with natural pigment from Parys Mountain. My design was based on ancient rock art that can be seen at Barclodiad y Gawres on Ynys Môn. Thank you @pariogllico for such a fantastic and informative class and to @greatormemines for hosting 🥰 #marilwyd #welshhistory #welshartist

Painting with handmade pigments at greatormemines today with pariogallico was a fabulous experience! I spent the hour adorning this wild welsh pony skull with ancient Brythonic rock art patterning Also our accommodation has a rather fabulous bathtub 🛁

If you’re based outside the U.K. and want your items to arrive before the festive period, make sure to place your orders today and I’ll get things in the post Monday morning ^^ rowynnellis.etsy.com

This Saturday I’ll be at the Llandudno ancient Bronze Age mine, Doodling along side an array of incredibly talented craftspeople, re-enactors and artists, who will be hosting courses and sharing their skills with the public. #bronzeage #ancienthistory #llandudno #northwales #llandudnocoppermine

hi everyone! i’m going through some financial hurdles so it’d really help me if you shared this post promoting my brushes, maybe consider gifting them? it is the season 🫶 you can find them here: 🫶 www.patreon.com/MerlinGG ✨ ko-fi.com/everydaymerlin ✨ merlin2g.gumroad.com

Sketches for two lovely customers, I was really happy with how these turned out and it was fun to work so loosely with traditional techniques #art #werewolf #dragonart

Monday mail surprise - Here be Dragons! From @eyeofnewtbooks.bsky.social by @Ralphwhitlock and @rowynnellis.bsky.social Almost forgot I'd backed the Kickstarter for this. Another fabulous addition to my hoard of dragon books.

I've had so many requests to turn the masc counterpart to my trans deer into a gold foil bookmark. The foiling came out so nice! I couldn't be happier with them :) I've also re-stocked a lot of the designs that sold out during London MCM :) SHOP: rowynnellis.etsy.com #bookmarks #werewolf #artist

WIP Sketch for one of my latest book projects. It’s definitely not a shameless self insert, I am of course a perfectly normal human person who does their taxes and eats cheese 👀
