Illustration Friday: Swim

Hey everyone! I was happy to see Illustration Friday chose my suggested topic, "Swim." This is one of my mermaid prints:

Look forward to seeing all the "swim" inspired art!

Happy Illustrating,

Coffee Love and Tea Time

I had made this coffee cup print (though it could be hot cocoa which is equally delicious) and decided to make a new print to complement it. For the teapot print, I prepared a soft lavender ink for a delicate look since I love lavender tea. In the future, I'll probably create a color for peppermint tea:

I love the variety of the submissions!

Spring Mood

As the weather gradually warms up, this is the perfect time of the year to be inspired by floral prints! These tulips should welcome in the spring:

Below is the original block the print came from. All of my prints are hand-designed, hand-carved, and hand-pressed by me!

The Geishas

Like the phoenix, I had taken one of my illustrations and was inspired to make it into a print:

I was really inspired by Japanese prints and patterns, and printmaking is ideal for this inspiration!
