#rattober day two: "accu-rat" 🤓☝️ #rattober2025

#rattober day one: "friend-shaped rat"! Thanks to @thebeanbaguette.bsky.social, @baysalt.bsky.social, @ratsjo.bsky.social and @/i.want.it.rat.way for hosting #rattober2025. Rats are so funny and ridiculously fun to draw, looking forward to exploring the theme more over the next month! 🐀

I'll be participating in RATTOBER this year!!! Look forward to many rats indeed ... 🐀 I'm excited to see the work of all those participating.

Trying to find some reference material on Pinterest and approx 50% is either AI or ads 💀 Guess we are going back to the library, friends

In case anyone doesn't already know this about me, I am a HUGE Lady Gaga fan 🥹 she recently posted this video joking about being a Labubu after some fans mentioned her Bad Romance wig resembled Labubu ears ... So I just had to draw the Bad Romance costume on both Gaga and a little Labubu friend 😆🩷

Anyway, let's draw!

I've been in a little bit of a creative funk lately, so I thought I'd do something a little fun and self-indulgent and illustrate some of my outfits from my recent trip to Japan! 🌸

My good news is that I finally got to update all my handles :)

I've been working on this two-page spread for a project in my portfolio, and I think it turned out quite charming! I referenced real photos of my little brother and me with our first cat, Bailey. The book is a semi-autobiographical retelling of his time with our family. #kidlitart #illustration #art

It's been a very busy last week or so and I've barely been able to touch my art projects but hopefully I'll be able to enjoy lots of creative time over the holidays! ☃️

Tony Tony Chopper 🍄 #onepiece In my opinion the cutest version of Chopper is when he's first introduced in the Drum Kingdom arc and he's all chubby and scrungly and kind of rude 🩷🦌just a little guy in his shorts. #illustration #art

Our lil Christmas tree 🎄🌟 It's decorated mostly with crafts made by friends and little things we've picked up in Japan. I almost always go for multicolour lights but this tree can switch to warm white as well so I do change it up sometimes! 🥰

Some ducks! #sketch #illustration #art

I got to experience the Japanese art of Gyotaku, fish printing, at a workshop today! What a unique way to create art and a really neat hands-on way to interact with, and get to know, these special creatures. The second photo is my friend's work, I won't take credit. They had more success than me!

Two kind mice decide to assist the teacher with her dayplan ... Not an ulterior motive in sight. They just love to be helpful. #kidlit #kidlitart #illustration

Working hard, or ... ?

I am ashamed to admit that I discovered my love for Beatrix Potter well into my adulthood. I've always loved drawing little critters and enjoy a cheeky story, so it's a mystery how I never connected with her work sooner. I'm glad I eventually did though! #kidlitchat

🥹🥹🥹 aaaaaa tuna!!! You captured her perfectly 💛 what a cute idea to dress her in a gouache tube, you're brilliant 🥰 thank you!!

I've been sick and then injured over the course of November and am desperately missing the gym! Weightlifting has been a huge part of my wellness and sense of balance since I started going regularly. Here's some drawings I did last month inspired by my lifts 🏋️‍♀️

Art drawn by people who very rarely make art and think they are “bad at art” is 1000x cooler than AI art. It’s life-affirming. It’s often unexpected. I cannot overemphasize how much I love when people just go for it. You do not need the machine for this human endeavor.

If you see this, post your bird art! 🦆🖌️

Hi Bluesky! My name is Art and I'm a Vancouver based Illustrator I love creating fantasy paintings and I'm working towards painting card art and book covers in the future! I'm also an absolute coffee nerd and I will tell you all about what makes coffee such a fun and weird drink!

Just finished watching Arc 2 of Season 2 of #Arcane! Since I've been posting some of my previous works I thought I'd share this fanart I did back when season 1 came out. 💥

Feeling really optimistic about building an online community again! I was really struggling with negativity online for a long time, quit Tw*tter ages ago, and I definitely missed having a space for interacting with others and sharing ideas in a constructive and friendly way.

Hi folks! I'm Marissa (she/her), an illustrator and educator based in Vancouver, BC. I'm the creator behind Softboiled, my line of cute characters and creative goods, and have recently ventured into the world of #kidlit! Looking forward to sharing & connecting with the community here on Bluesky.
