The start of an autumn pattern. #surfacedesign #patterndesign #artlicensing #autumnflorals #jennifernelsonartists
Channeling my inner autumn woodland sprite. Hurry up and get here fall and then stay for as long as possible. I’m heading to the farmers market for a little apple cider and cinnamon donut fix! #autumnart #fallleaves #illustratorsoninstagram #artlicensing #jennifernelsonartists
I whipped this up last night. It’s always Christmas in this business. But it still feels like summer here, not even the tiniest hint of fall yet. My sweaters and scarves are impatiently waiting. This was inspired by a floral arrangement by my friend Cymbre of @moonstruckgardens. #artlicensing #floralart #christmasillustration
One super exciting behind-the-scenes thing that has been going on is preparing for my work to debut at @blueprintshows next month with @jennifer_nelson_artists. I wish I could go to the show myself but I’m thrilled to be represented there by Jennifer and Cathy. #artlicensing #blueprintshows #floralart
Hot off the presses, well the ol’ iPad anyway. Thank you everyone for the sweetest wishes and congratulations yesterday. It was so nice of you to celebrate along with me! This beauty is currently available as a print on my website. #artlicensing #jennifernelsonartists #floralart #greetingcarddesign #illustratorsoninstagram
I’m so excited to share that I am now represented by @jennifer_nelson_artists! I’m honored to be part of such a talented team of artists. I’ve already had my first commission through the agency! Looking forward to many more. Now, I’m going back to dancing around my living room in celebration of all the hard work I’ve put into getting here today. And then I’ll get back to pushing pixels.
My friend Shelia raises butterflies as a hobby. I think it’s the coolest thing ever. She shares their journey from tiny egg, to caterpillar, to chrysalis, and on to the big show when they emerge as butterflies. She takes some amazing photos along the way. Today’s illustration was inspired by a few of them. #floralart #butterflies #monarchs, #artlicensing #surfacedesign #illustratorsofinstagram #procreateart
These lovelies are available from @artists_to_watch_by_funfolks. My first greeting card! #artlicensing #surfacedesign #greetingcarddesign #greetingcards
More like home sea home. We live on the coast of Lake Michigan and it very much feels like the sea, minus the salt water. I love watching the sunset and feeling the sand between my toes. Once I was able to sail on the tail ship that tours from our harbor into the lake. You get to help hoist the sails. It was a lot of fun. #coastalart #coastaldecor #artlicensing #surfacedesign
Here is another piece that I’ve updated for an upcoming event. I lightened up the background, completely changing the feel of the piece and I added in some lettering to make this a greeting card instead of wall art. I’ll be offering this as a print soon without the lettering. That’s the beauty of working in layers, anything and everything can easily be adjusted. #artlicensing #greetingcarddesign #surfacedesign #floralart
Icons for a new pattern inspired by this week’s #foliofocus trend brief. Again I will say I say I highly recommend the @risedesignandshine course. The briefs always give me a push and are a great starting point for new work. #foliofocus2019 #artlicensing #patterndesign #surfacedesign
Sharing a work in progress today. Sometimes I have to let a piece sit and stew for a bit. I know I want to add in more details to the greenery on the bird house, but still deciding if it needs a little something extra. #artlicensing #christmasillustration #greetingcarddesign
