Even in the forest, you are still you. 🦄 🌈 🌟 This unicorn print celebrating self-created identity and LGBTQ pride is available in my shop now -- my Etsy shop, that is! I'm in the process of moving my shop from my site to Etsy this month -- what a project! 💫 Since I'm just starting out there I'm offering free U.S. shipping this month to help warm up my shop. Link in my profile will take you to my Etsy shop. Just use this code for free domestic shipping: WARMUPETSY for ALL OF APRIL! I'm not normally a huge fan of free shipping deals from independent creators because Amazon is kind of pushing small biz and online creators to offer discounts and deals that make a much larger impact on our bottom line than it does for them. But as a consumer and worker also watching my bottom line, I understand the appeal of saving a few bucks while also supporting an artist's work, and thought this would be a fun way to share my new shop and products. So this a is a great chance to get a painted pendant or print from me with a bit of shipping discount, and help me get my shop up and running!! I have a lot of pendants not listed yet and will post more when I get them up this week. Free shipping promo lasts all month, through the end of April -- and this is no April Fool's joke!🦄🦄🦄 ***************************** #unicornparty #unicornlove #unicornstyle #unicornlife #alwaysbeaunicorn #lgbtqpride #lgbtqpluspride #queerpride artists_insta #illustratorsofinstagram #bookillustration #whimsyillos #womenofillustration #illustrationdaily #womenwithpencils #illustragram #illustrationage #freelanceartist #colorfulart #artshare #illustrationaday #etsyamour #etsyscout #etsysuccess #etsyhunter #illustrationhowl #alexisamann — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2YGM5m8

Happy Friday! ✨Today's #marchmeetthemaker prompt is "proud of" so I thought I'd jump back in with this project I just finished for my #matsbootcamp class! We were tasked with creating a pair of salt and pepper shakers -- such a fun assignment! 🐌 🏠 🐌 🏠 My S&P snail is a reminder that we carry our homes with us, like a snail, and home is where you make it. Also I just really wanted to do a cute snail AND a cute house, so this happened. _____________________________ #matsbootcamp2019 #saltandpeppershakers #lillarogers #snailsofinstagram #saltandpepper #illustratorsofinstagram #procreateapp #illustrationart #makeartthatsells #printandpattern #artlicensing #womenwhodraw #illustree #dailyillustration #illustrateyourworld #illustrationgram #illustrationartist #ipaddrawing #illustrationdaily #illustragram #cuteart #best_of_illustration #womenillustrators #illustrationdrawing #moreillustrations #illustrationaday #alexisamann — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2TOyhHg

Happy Spring Equinox!

Last call for this month's newsletter! It goes out tomorrow morning and you can sign up through the link in my bio! Here's another small painting from the Send Me Across the Sea postcard show -- just another day on the astral plane. 🌠 I've been having a lot of migraines lately and sometimes feel like my eyes are vortices sucking all the light from every distant star in the universe right into my brain. 🧠 ⚡️ _______________________________ #migraine #astralplane #cosmos #colorfulart #womenwhopaint #gouachepainting #dailypainting #holbein #holbeinacrylagouache #editorialillustration #contemporarypaintings #womenwhodraw #artoninsta #instagramartists #lightsensitive highfructosemag #illustrateyourworld #illustrationgram #illustrationdrawing #womenwhodraw #visualstorytelling #illo #illustrationartist #artists_insta #strangeart #weirdart #beautifulbizzare #juxtapoz #newcontemporary #freelanceartist #alexisamann — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2YaCWlE

This little piece, "Stay Alive" is currently included in @martinmachado ’s amazing solo show Hove To at @parklifesf ! In addition to his beautiful ocean going paintings on display he also made a little bunk room at sea complete with bed, porthole with video , and a display of work from other artists in the community with ties to the ocean. I grew up on the central Oregon Coast in Newport, and ocean imagery has long been a recurring theme in my work. This piece was made for an altered matchbook show a few years ago and I'm delighted it was given a chance to spend some time hanging out in Martin's show! Super bummed I had to miss the opening due to a nasty migraine (which is it's own kind of trip to the Land of the Dead) but hope to get over to check it all out ASAP! Show is up through April 21st. _______________________________ #skull #matchbook #matchbookart #mementomori #ocean #davyjoneslocker #davyjones #atsea #lifeatsea #artists_insta #artistfeatures #strangeart #newcontemporary #juxtapoz #artoninsta #gouachepainting #freelanceartist #artistvisual #holbeingouache #highfructosemag #holbeinacrylagouache #weirdart #instaarte #gouacheart #gouachepaint #gouacheillustration #paintingonpaper #womenwhopaint #alexisamann — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2O9Buv4

My March newsletter is going out a little late this month (next Wednesday morning) which means you still have time to hop on to my mailing list if you’d like to get one! 🐸 Link in my bio! 💫These are a few frogs who didn’t make it on to my #matsbootcamp journal cover but I couldn’t let them go, so am using them for the newsletter header this month! __________________________ #matsbootcamp2019 #lillarogers #amphibiansofinstagram #instafrog #frogsofinstagram #womenwhodraw #womenofillustration #editorialillustration #editorialart #characterdesigner #characterillustration #kidlitart #characterconcept #procreateartists #kidillustration #bookillustrator #best_of_illustration #illustrated #cuteart #picturebookillustration #floralart #moreillustrations #illustree #colorfulart #instaillustration #visualcrush #illustrateyourworld #alexisamann — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2T7FdKq

Day 10 of #MarchMeettheMaker prompt is -- You. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here's a pic of me and the Doubtful Guest a few summers ago in Yarmouth, MA at the The Elephant House -- the Edward Gorey house museum. Visiting his house and seeing all of his collections (cheese graters, stuffed frogs he sewed, orbs, games, art and sculpture, beach rocks kept in bowls of water so they still look shiny,) and where he worked was one of the most moving experiences of my life. I grew up reading Gorey, and remember learning to read with Amphigorey 1 and 2 -- I loved the combo of pictures and words, the surrealism and humor, the gothy wit, the death and horror and cats and weirdness -- even as a kid before I could understand it all. To this day his certainty in his own vision for his work and what he made is a guiding light to me as an artist. <3 I try to keep him in mind when navigating my own quest to bring narrative and visuals together, and to play on the line between dark and funny, desolate and light. Also, cats. The Doubtful Guest is definitely some sort of overgrown cat. ________________________________________ #edwardgorey #edwardgoreyhouse #ogdreadweary #narrativeart #makercommunity #womenofillustration #visualcrush #visualdiary #doubtfulguest #amphigorey #artistlife #artists_insta #yarmouth #capecod #alexisamann — view on Instagram https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/vp/f67917b74a2a08baebb48bfe3e1168a4/5D0AA896/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/s640x640/54213689_260547764857047_772675478318238150_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com

There's lots of ways to be a mermaid! Another one for Women's Day today and catching up a bit on #MarchMeettheMaker with the prompt from yesterday "Less Glam Side". I'm working on getting back to more play and experimentation in the studio again while doing these mini assignments (the prompt for this one was "pairs" and I'll more to share soon) for #matsbootcamp . I have SO many sketchbooks and but when I try to play with paint in sketchbooks I often get frustrated with drying time. Trying out different things like tearing pages out -- I've always used my sketchbooks for idea generation, mess, and play -- so there's no reason I need to be precious and keep them intact. I'm sure these two will surface again soon! _______________________________________ #sketchbook #internationalwomensday2019 #matsbootcamp #matsbootcamp2019 #lillarogers #gouachepainting #womenwhopaint #mermaidstyle #mermaidlove #whimsyillos #holbeingouache #illustrateyourworld #illustragram #mermaidsofinstagram #visualstorytelling #moreillustrations #womenwhodraw #popsurrealism #weirdart #colormyjoy #freelanceillustrator #characterconcept #beautifulbizzare #characterillustration #illustrationartist #alexisamann — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2VIUNxO

Day 3 of #MarchMeetTheMaker prompt is "flatlay" so I decided to take a pic of these mermaid stickers I just got in from @stickermule . I'll be putting one in every order from my site while supplies last! This little mermaid was from a newsletter header for last year during #mermay. I need to make more mermaids soon! ___________________________________________ #mermaids #stickerlove #stickerslap #stickermule #illustratorsofinstagram #illustrationgram #mermaidsofinstagram #best_of_illustration #womenwhodraw #moreillustrations #stickerartist #artists_insta #stickers #vinylstickers #illustrationdaily #illustrated #illustrationwork #characterillustration #artists_insta #bookillustration #artsagram #illustrateyourworld #procreateartists #alexisamann #procreateapp #instaillustration — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2HdLaTK

✨Happy Saturday! ✨I made a new header for my website—is she a woman in a fish costume, a fish in a woman costume, or some kind of a mermaid? I'm doing a lot of updates to my website this month as I'm taking the awesome #matsportfolioreview course. _____________________________________ #mermaid #lillarogers #makeartthatsells #mats #illustragram #illustrationartist #illustrateyourworld #portfolioreviewlive #illustration #artistsofinstagram #illustratorsoninstagram #freelanceillustrator #womenofillustration #procreateartists #handlettered #handletteredlogo #handlettering #womenwithpencils #cuteart #weirdart #best_of_illustration #alexisamann — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2UhdaJY

How is it March already? I am going to join in this month with sharing more about myself and my art process through #MarchMeetTheMaker created by @joannehawker. ⠀ ⠀ 💫The Day 1 prompt is to share favorite things to make. 💫⠀ ⠀ This is a detail of Baba Yaga and her House from one of my #folktaleweek illustrations. My favorite things to make are drawings and paintings rooted in story, often in the realms of folklore, fairytale, mythology, or general weirdness. I love linework, flat color with texture, and details. My world includes witches, frogs, sentient turnips, fish, octopus, mermaids, harpies, and The Moon herself among other flora and fauna. I'm currently also working on a comic about my Turnip character which you will be seeing more of very soon!💜_____________________________________________⠀ #babayaga #narrativeart #folktale #fairytale #bookillustration #skulls #dailyillustration #illustratorsofinstagram #illustration_daily #illustrationhowl #weirdart #illustrationgram #illustrationartist #womenwhodraw #illustree #makercommunity #artofinstagram #alexisamann — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2Tq0cfI

🐸 Froggy dream journal for the #matsbootcamp February journal assignment using lily of the valley florals. I went through so many frog pun title options with my sister @skylaara on this one, but in the end, none of them seemed to fit the magic frog vibe better than "DREAM". Do you remember your dreams? Do you write them down as soon as you wake up? I never remember to do it— I always think I'll remember them, even though they fade so fast! 😴 ✨ ________________________________________ #matsbootcamp #matsbootcamp2019 #lillarogers #dreams #frogsofinstagram #dreamjournal #lilyofthevalley #floral #botanic #journalcover #journaldesign #floralart #floralarthub #botanicalillustration #floralillustration #botanicaldrawing #floralsyourway #modernflorals #flowerseverywhere #illustragram #ipaddrawing #cutedrawing #surfacedesign #surfacedesigner #illustrateyourworld #best_of_illustration #womenwhodraw #womenillustrators #alexisamann — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2IzbYAc
