“Murphy” commission

I met the commissioner at the art of accessibility event I went to, and they were very kind. This was peaceful piece to paint~

A design I made for A ripple machine at my last job! A ripple machine is basically a printer but for foam drinks and macaroons. 🍓 This was for a strawberry choc frappe I had as a monthly special. I was disappointed that a lot of options on the machine were Ai instead of Artwork.

Here’s some photos of denim jackets I have been painting onto. It’s been soothing to work on these while talking with friends at coffee shops. ☕️

I finally took some updated photos of my bat buttons, I am bad at the business side of art especially since AI got popular… but I have been doing a lot of art in the background! 😃 much more to come soon!

✨I make and ship each item personally!✨ These buttons are a perfect addition to shirts, vests, car visors, bags, jackets, lanyards, curtains

At first CFS made it challenging to keep doing art, it was an adjustment to learn to do art in breif periods.

This painting is of how the condition weighed on me.

I made the cinderblocks feel like concrete by adding grit into my painting medium. In a way of letting others "feel" the painting. I hope you like it!

There's pin back button prints of this piece on Etsy under FireflysDream

I really enjoyed painting this commission! It’s a watercolor pet portrait of “Butterbean”, an American bulldog - What a sweet name! 🩶🐾🤍

Max in a quilt, commission! This one was fun to paint, max has strange hair patterns that I had to learn to paint!

Current Commission WIP

[fireflysdreams]

I’ve wanted to make an art store for awhile now-commissions are great but doing one every time anyone wants my art is rough to keep up with. Especially while struggling with CFS. So I got a button press and I didn’t expect to love creating stuff again. I’ve designed 105ish buttons! Including recolors but still I find it an accomplishment~

I hope this is fruitful eventually but I have concerns-I can’t tell if people will actually like or buy my designs-I also don’t like social media so I’m worried advertising and getting people interested is gonna be an up hill battle. Rambling for any possible input-

Are my designs nice? Are there ways to enjoy doing social media more? What places are good for advertising this sort of thing and stickers?

Joined my first art event!~ “the art of accessibility” It was full of awkward moments lol, people showed a lot of interest in my work. Art from it will be posted soon~!

I have a traditional painting of CFS! in the second picture I encouraged people to touch it cause I made it have textures to make people interested in “feeling” the painting. The cinderblocks feel gritty. the body and strings are levelled-My favourite part is holding the lil persons 3D hand.

“Yoshi The Hero”

Watercolour Painting Commission. This piece was a challenge for me. It taught me how to paint watercolour grass and bushes~

“Pheonix, A Memorial” by FireflysDream

Phoenix was the first ever pet I got commissioned to paint. He and his owners helped me realise the main kind of art I wanted to offer to people. The commission really encouraged me to try to persuade art again. Phoenix will be remembered in my art journey for a long time.

Here’s the first one i did of him!
