Birthday Bash!

Kelly Chilton, I draw cities and shapes, listen to cool vibes, swim in lakes.

This year's t-shirt for our annual visit back to Lake Champlain. The last one I made was 2021, been a minute!

"Still Life"

I made this for a friend who wanted to have a food-centric still life. I've always found still life art to be so boring to make, it reminds me of beginning college art classes that had nothing interesting in the compositions. So why not make one with a bunch of kinetic moments and strange happenings instead?

I finished this last year and never posted the final result. I took too long re-evaluating some of the stickers and how to emphasize the last piece properly. Whatever, always late to the party but still here.

Fruity! This is the final piece in my Fruity triptych. It definitely took on a life of it's own, but sometimes you just gotta explore your first idea. Gay!

Happy Pride! I'm reblogging myself because I deserve it.

I went to Australia a few weeks ago and what an absolute delight it was. It's so much more tropical than I expected, and the fuana are prehistoric but so cute. Loved my whole time there.

Sleepy Head #4. One mattress is never enough.

Sleepy Head #3. Pillow King.

[kellychilton]

Sleepy Head series #2. Originally was just gonna draw buff boys sleeping in night-time vignettes but I leaned into the "head" portion of my title and gave each of these studs fun geometric heads. Here to promote good sleeping habits!

[kellychilton]

I just made this series of hot buff boys sleeping to place above my headboard as a reminder on how to sleep good. It's titled "Sleepy Head" and they all have fun heads and hot bods.

Last or first piece of my Travel Log series, it works both ways. When's the next vacation!?!

Travel Log series - enjoying a meal with some drinks

I wish I was in a pool right now. Summer's over but it's still hot here!

[kellychilton]

Anywhere else but here. Part of my Travel Log series, vignettes on vacation.

Pelicans are huge! Another piece for my Travel Log series, I saw so many of these boys while in Mexico, majestic and creepy XOXO

Birds! Birds! Birds!

Last batch of bird illustrations featuring the likes of Cranes, Caracara, Cormorants, and Crows (who famously love to attend parties).

[kellychilton]

C birds unite! I was originally only going to make 5 but I just felt like making more once I started.

We've got a canary, one of the most domesticated birds in the world. Capercaillie is a big boy also known as the horse of the woods. Condors can soar over 170 km without a single flap.

The more you know!
