This piece is another in my series of "Red Cloaks" images. I think the filigree ended up looking like a metal die-cut instead of a built-up bead, but I still think it's effective none-the-less as something unique and interesting.

This piece is inspired by the fairytale, Little Red Riding Hood.

It can be purchased as a single greeting card here: https://goimagine.com/rose-path-single-illustrated-greeting-card-5x7-with-envelope/

It can also be purchased as part of a six-card variety pack of similar images here: https://goimagine.com/art-nouveau-red-cloak-variety-pack-of-greeting-cards-5x7-with-envelopes/

And, of course, here's the speedpaint where you can see how it all happened: https://makertube.net/w/o2soSxJ4bxbEeMnVkwQACe

This style of "Art Nouveau" (or whatever it is) really feels satisfying to me to work in. I've done a lot of images now in this mode, practicing it and refining it to make it more of my own. This image is an older image and one of the last that I'll be sharing here on Pixelfed before I launch into sharing my more recent pieces that each represent a specific story or tale.

Got this done on my livestream today: “The Tortoise and the Hare”.

I realized as I was making it that all of my art is rather edgy dark… It sort of straddles fantasy art and kidlit topics and nestles into a weird middles ground that I kind of like.

Even my birds! All spotlighted and surrounded by rich jewel tones… I hadn’t realized it until it hit me today, mid-stream. Huh.

Anyway, I also made this piece into a new greeting card! Woohoo!

This piece is a continued exploration of three-dimensionality using Procreate. I started feeling really comfortable with textures and layering and I think it turned out cool!

I call it “Autumn Memories”, and it’s available as a single greeting card here:https://goimagine.com/autumn-memories-single-illustrated-greeting-card-5x7-with-envelope/

And as part of a six-card variety pack here: https://goimagine.com/art-nouveau-variety-pack-of-greeting-cards-5x7-with-envelopes/

I do these all in Procreate myself—no artificially generated nonsense—and I print, pack, and post them all from my own studio using my own equipment and high-end printer.

I listed a Turquoise-Browed Motmot in my art shop today! It’s one of my very very favorite images and it’s finally a greeting card:

It’s already the focus of a set of 55 print-it-yourself digital download stationery papers that I deeply love and use myself:

I’m thrilled that I can share this with you! I’ve used this bird in SO many ways—I even put a Viking horned helmet on it with braids for yet another card:

These birds are from Central America, and just stunningly beautiful! I love their tails!

AND finally—here’s a free phone wallpaper version for your phone! Woohoo!

Enjoy!

I haven’t posted anything here in a very very long while.

I’m going to fix that now.

This is piece is called “Garden Blooms”. It’s a greeting card listed on my Goimagine art shop both as an individual card and in a variety pack of six.

Happy Earth Day!

Here’s a free Palm Tanager phone wallpaper to celebrate! It’s found in Nicaragua and northern South America. Maybe it can brighten your lockscreen for today!

Enjoy!

This bird is also a new greeting card in my Goimagine Shop, too:

It’s all me and Procreate, no artificial generative nonsense. Here’s the speedpaint:
