Sunflowers and Cake: October 8th to October 15th, 2020

Hello, everyone! The sun is out and I am happy today. This week we’ll be taking a look at sunflowers and cake, extra long limbs, and as always – amputations!

Last week’s post was the end of my underwater series, and I decided to return to my roots, which is… sunflowers. Always and forever, I will love sunflowers. For me, they represent the beginning of my true artistic passion, as well as the beginning of my journey to sobriety. They mean a lot to me. I’m excited to show you these drawings!

My favorites are “Overlap Serenity,” What a Big, Fat Flower You Have!”, “It is your birthday.” and “Video Killed the ____”. I might have mentioned it before, but I feel the underwater series really helped me to get a better grasp on anatomy. There was this weird switch afterwards where suddenly I felt I understood everything just a little bit better. As always, I’m a work in progress. I know my pieces aren’t the most incredible, mindblowing things in the world. They’re just illustrations, right? But I love them and I love working on them, and seeing the progress I’ve made… and sharing that progress with you.

What are your favorite pieces from this week? Let me know on instagram or by contacting me here. Stay tuned for what’s to come! I’m excited to show you my next series.
