490 #breakfastandacomic read #IFeelAwfulThanks @larapickle.bsky.social #womenshistorymonth loved it, it is more than a comic, it is a way to introduce therapy to those who have anxiety/depression & show that you are not alone. Well illustrated & written, highly recommend this. #angeliquelovescomics

What if I told you that I've created a fake fashion magazine...but with my art? If you like my work and want to support me, please consider buying a digital copy of the Mockazine, a fake Vogue-like zine encompassing some of my work in the last 5-6 years! Find it here: larapickle.gumroad.com

First drawing of 2025! 💕 - Tried the new Wacom Movink for this, and it was fun! Still trying to get the gist of working on a laptop, but it’s very fun to be able to not be ankles to my desk all the time.

✮.𖥔 ݁ ˖˚୨୧₊♱👜👢 A new version of this drawing I did ages ago of Jennie but composed into a Harper's Bazaar magazine cover! What do you think?? Which one do you prefer? :D Lara x

♥️🧸💌 જ⁀➴⁠♡୨୧ A bit of a late post for Valentine's Day gut guys, 2025 did not start in the best way for me, and I've been trying to keep my mood and prioritise my mental health!

I LOVE is mixing illustration & fashion, so I’ve created a section on my web dedicated to Fashion Illo! One of my biggest dreams is to work as a costume designers for animation and collab with couture brands that I love, as well as magazines that I read religiously, like Vogue or Harper’s Bazaar 💕

A little collage I did a while ago for "Cool with you" by New Jeans featuring Hoyeon! ꒰ᐢ. .ᐢ꒱₊˚⊹ ᰔ

Happy New Year everyone! Bringing you a little more art I did last year that I still like :D Starting the year with Taylor because I've been listening to her music again these past few days (to nobody's surprise)

Sharing these over here as well! These are two illustrations I've done this year that I never got to share until now :) The one and only Blackpink and BTS!

Well then just fucking don’t use AI :DDDDD

HELLO! I was really looking forward to showing you this one! - It's an original piece I did for a project that never came to be, but for which I'm very grateful! - I always find it wonderful when I have to draw and paint Taylor! :D Long live all the magic we made 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

2/7 Seriously, that email you were thinking of, that call you wanted to make, that noise you’ve been meaning to get to, do it NOW. Because make no mistake, this wholesale endorsement of theft l is disastrous to your livelihoods, to the UK and the world- www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

🚨UK People🚨 1/7 Your government is proposing a HUGE change to copyright law, where they give away YOUR works to Tech companies to profit from for FREE! A disgusting overreach that will cause irreparable harm to ALL creatives and beyond .You have one chance to stop it, read how below👇

Manifesting 🥰🥰🥰

Emilia Perez is a bit of an odd movie, I really like the premise and plot, but I’m not sure about most of the execution and sometimes it feels weird - especially the musical acts - I don’t know if i loved it or not haha

Man the thing about Ko-Fi and Patreon and stuff is like, for the price of a gacha pull per month, you can be part of the reason why someone you believe in gets to pursue what they actually want to do. Through the power of many you can help ppl you like chase their dreams for a gacha pull per month.

Omg I woke up to many new followers here, thank you so much! I’m looking forward to posting a specific piece of art soon (maybe next week?) from a project that never came to be, but made me very excited for a little while!

superstition 🐈‍⬛

Also watch me overanalise every interaction and conversation ever 🙃🙃🙃🙃

I sincerely hope and beg at the moon & stars for a better 2025. This year has had many good highlights, but it has been one of the toughest years I’ve had to face ever since 2020. I suppose even years are not my thing, so looking forward to the odd one coming in 😣

Extremely emotional after the end of the Eras Tour, so I'll leave you with this Taylor I drew a while ago that I quite like! This year has been tough, but I got to see Tay twice, & being part of this whole experience has meant the world to me <3 Long live the memories we share! 🌸🫶🏻❤️

Alright yall. The secret to being successful as an artist... is to just make things you like. Because success isn't the big job in the end, but genuinely enjoying your work. My big portfolio pieces from my professional jobs rarely give me the same joy looking back as, say, a sketch from the bus.

I frequently meet illustrators who say, I’m a visual person, I have ADHD, I’ve never been a reader, and I never will be, it’s not for me. FWIW I’m a visual person with ADHD who didn’t self-identify as a reader who now reads voraciously. Here’s a short 🧵 on why and how… 1/7

One thing I realised this weekend at MCM & Lbx is that ppl don't buy prints...cons are something very new for me, & I'm truly trying to learn as I want to start doing it more often! What do people usually like to buy at a comic con or a Japan Weekend event? Prints? Stickers? Badges? Other merch?

Pat in the back to myself because this Monday felt like an entire week, but managed to pull through and catch up with everything!!

Guys can anyone recommend a good hair salon that is good for the fortune it will cost me in London? I’ve tried some so far…but always paid 150-200£ for really shitty results :( Looking for good hair colouring and shaping 😔

Cons are a totally new territory for me…I’m learning a lot through losing a lot as well, but I am hoping to be better at it because amidst this whole social media bs, it’s one of the only times it feels like maybe having a bit of actual human community enjoying art together idk

I have sinned way too much with PopMart today 😔✨

Guyyyyssss I only have 3 copies left of “I feel Awful, Thanks!” 😱😱😱

We are here!!! Forgot my banner at home do a lil piece of paper it is!! 😂 - Come by Stand E-06! #mcmbirmingham #mcmcomiccon #larapickleart #birminghamcomiccon
