This little pattern on a swaddle? Also this is not my hand. In no way do I have time to 💅. Although I don’t really remember making time to do it before the baby 👎. . I still manage to brush my teeth at least twice a day so I feel like I’m🤘. . . #newmom #newmomlife #patterndesign #textiledesign #surfacepatterndesign #alottasmacks #colourandpattern #patternlicensing #illustration #swaddleblanket #fabricdesign (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPYUAEyNfq9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Have you ever created a sigil? . As a creator it’s so easy to get distracted by the small stuff - small projects, small goals, small tasks. This exercise reminded me of the ‘big picture,´ the whole idea. It acts as a reminder for a promise that you’ve made to yourself, a pact. To learn more about them visit @ehaidle and all of her lovely work. Her class has also posted these magical symbols to #personalpowersymbols . . #sigil #sigils #symbols #strength #illustration #findyourstyle #alottasmacks (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIBfH11Aa7u/?igshid=qnvzibii863m

Finca Palms.🌴🌴 To be any kind of creative comes a certain struggle, hidden demons we are constantly battling that others may be unaware of. No logical reasoning as to why we do what we do, or what pushes us to keep producing, keep creating. We just do it because we have to. . I am reminded in times such as these how lucky I am to have creativity in my life. Melting the anxiety of the world down into my fingers and releasing it out onto the paper. I am transporting myself back to a moment in time when it was beautiful and silent and calm. Stretching the moment out until I set my pencils down and decide to return to this world. . . #makespace @cptremoteretreat #womenofillustration #alottasmacks #travelillustration #illustration #editorialillustration #pastels #pencilcrayons #palmtrees #travelcolombia #womenwhodraw (at Santa Fe De Antioquia, Antioquia, Colombia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-fvSErA8d2/?igshid=wvf0gyxop0y0
