All proceeds from the sale of the ornaments will go to the Make a Wish Foundation, which grants wishes to children with […]
Last October, I completed the one-month Inktober project for the first time in three tries. Drawing in ink every day for a month helped me to like the medium. And so, I decided to continue year round with Inktober’s second challenge, Inktober 52. It’s a really great idea and it’s been an opportunity to grow

It’s Silly Saturday, so I decided to share some silly AI images that I conjured up on my phone. Through the Facebook Messenger app, I can provide prompts, and AI will create an image for me. The goofier the prompt, the more absurd the image. So, I am sharing a few fun AI images with

It’s Day fifty-six of the 100-day art challenge, and it’s week sixteen of Inktober 52. This week’s prompt is vista, and there was a stipulation to draw in black and white. No color, just ink.
