One of my little mushroom characters lying on a bed of lemon thyme. It's a cardboard cutout of a sharpie and copic marker illustration.
A photo of an artwork. A slightly worried looking mushroom character is lying on a bed of lemon thyme with beautiful afternoon light hitting it. The small thyme leaves are casting tiny shadows on the figure. The mushroom is a cardboard cutout of a sharpie and alcohol marker illustration. #art #illustration #mushroom #mushroomart #gameofshrooms

I haven’t done an acrylic painting in so long I can’t even remember the last time. I’m making a comic about a time traveling puppet and this is the monster the puppet is based on.

I almost forgot how fun it is turn your weird little characters into stickers. These are plucked straight from my comic illustrations.
A photo of me holding a sticker - the sticker features a die-cut illustration of a flying mushroom with a happy face. The illustration was done in pen and ink wash #artskye #stickers #comic #art #illustration #mushroom

I made a comic about a ghost trying to start a massage parlour 👻 It's a little bit long to fit the whole thing in a bluesky post 👉 touchingdoodles.com/ghost-masseur/
A pen, pencil and black ink wash illustration of a spooky looking castle that is actually a charming massage parlour nestled on a commercial street full of shops. But it's misty and late at night. The ghost proprietor can be seen high up in one of the castle windows. #art #artskye #illustration #comic #ghost #watercolor #inks

A horrifying burger monster ? Yes please! Reply with any weird burger art you’ve made ! (Cardboard, permanent marker and Copic marker for some extra shadows )
A cardboard illustration cut to shape featuring a very tall and intricate burger monster with a pained faced on its bun and wobbly arms. There’s a 1950s comic vibe to it. #art #illustration #artskye #cardboardart #monster #drawing

I had to ink 14 comic panels in 2 days while jet lagged to make it in time for a group show. Coloured inks are so fun.
Photo of a pile of illustrations of separate comic strip panels. They are drawn in pen and coloured with bright vibrant inks. The main panel in view is of a happy mushroom character floating through the clouds with a goofy face. #art #artskye #illustration #mushrooms #mushroomart #comics
