Which version is better? The one thing I love about working with digital art is the multiple options. The one thing I hate about digital is the multiple options. “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” #musicart #guitarart #inspireart #beatles #illustrationoftheday #digitalillustration #procreate #cantdecide #indecision #guitargentlyweeps #georgeharrison #posterart #itsallintheart #capegirardeau #localartist #bohoart (at St. Louis, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEwrfisAdSk/?igshid=sxetv1ip8lwc

I have been reflecting back on my early art influences and what inspired me and intrigued me in artwork. All my influences circled back to one man. Art Paul. I wonder what a psychologist would say about that? #creativeinfluence #inspiredart #fullcircle #artisticprocess #procreateartist #noirart #artnoir #illustrate #myartstyle #popartstyle #freespirit #visualstorytelling #createinspirepositivity #artlover #femaleart #beauty #itsallintheart (at St. Louis, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD_jm20gQLn/?igshid=gjf61kmfy59q

As requested by @lockhart_liz “Put a MASK on it”. As Covid numbers are increasing wearing a mask in public shows you care for others as much as you care for yourself, so put a mask on it. #putamaskon #mask #americangothic #collectivesoul #protectgrandma #thinkofothers #parodyart #covid19 #covidart #covidartmuseum #digitalartist #procreate #covidclassics #seniorhealth (at St. Louis, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCWPMbtgmd6/?igshid=hsig9nl7q7m1

This is a digital artwork that was inspired from stepping away from the corporate conformity and being a free agent. #digitalmarketer #digitalillustrator #beinspired #createeveryday #bubble #bedifferent #thinkpositive #thinkdifferent #colorpop #freeagent #creativeart #nottraditional #thinkfree (at Cape Girardeau, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAypbgtA5fv/?igshid=1wny5tzjbfzlz

My son sent me this challenge the other day. Redraw Sailor Moon in your style. It was a break from what I normally do, but it felt good to draw something outside of my comfort zone. #sailormoonredraw #reinvent #reimagine #comfortzone #challengeaccepted #digitalillustration #illustratorsoninstagram #instachallenge #createinspirepositivity (at Cape Girardeau, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAeK1ykgQbL/?igshid=ewjln7usrogy

“1,000 Cranes” The tradition of folding 1,000 cranes is not just for a wish. Some stories believe you are granted happiness and eternal good luck, others say it is for long life or recovery from illness or injury. During these challenging time I think we can all use a little bit of it all. #origamiart #cranes #dragonart #cutedragon #storybook #storytellingart #illustratedart #illustrations #covid2020 #bekind #stayhome #takecareofyourself #weareinthistogether #hope #create #procreateartist #digitalart #digitalartist #missouri #quarantinelife #capegirardeau (at Cape Girardeau, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-NwsBWgrAy/?igshid=r1bzj7wlovml

One of the great things about digital art is having the ability to mix and match individual characters with each other. The possibilities are endless. It constantly keeps me inspired. . . . #businessart #corporateart #corporatelife #outofthebox #digitalillustration #bedifferent #artplay #procreatedrawing #procreateartist #createyourlife #inspired #artsyaesthetic #tellastory #illustrationoftheday #illustrate #procreateillustration #capegirardeau #artofdrawing #itsallintheart (at Cape Girardeau, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9cB7g8gLXO/?igshid=1wy1gwmx7kess

What’s your passion? It has been 2 months since I became a full time artist and I’m loving it. Should have done this years ago. Someone told me recently that I was more pleasant and happy now. All because I am following my passion. . . . . . #dowhatmakesyouhappy #itsallintheart #illustrationartists #illustratorsoninstagram #digitalillustration #businessartist #visualstoryteller #marketing #followyourpassion #inspirecreativity #justdraw #procreatedrawing #artlife🎨 #liveinspired #missouriartist #capegirardeau (at Cape Girardeau, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Z5R4IAvYh/?igshid=lo9c0hxcnegd

There are times when I am creating a scene for a client and for some reason I have trouble capturing the likeness of the person. That’s when I have to go back to old school basics and truly study the person and how their muscles work, only then can I get the soul. Granted, drawing on an iPad isn’t very old school, but the basic skills are the same. . . . . . . #portraitstudy #roughsketch #digitaldrawings #characterstudy #illustration #instaart #instaartist #speedart #corporateart #procreatedrawing #backtobasics #capegirardeau #capegirardeaumo #missouriartist #paintyourlife #itsallintheart (at Cape Girardeau, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8um2-Ug0Z5/?igshid=1sao6w85pr89e

I have never been a fan of Valentine’s Day. Love should be shown everyday. It’s complicated and red teddy bears make me want to gag. So for Anti-Valentines Day, complicated love people head down to @loverockscapegirardeau and pick up a coffee mug to help get you going tomorrow morning. #antivalentinesday #antivalentines #itscomplicated #tangledhearts #loveyourself #heartart #relationships #loverocks #coffeelovers #capegirardeau #rivertowns #localartists #shoplocal #illustrationoftheday #bohoart #soulart #itsallintheart #heart #heartland #iheart (at Cape Girardeau, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8g4JNng3-B/?igshid=t8cbctyd6pob
