I was asked for Helen, so Helen it is. I love the Incredibles and Incredibles 2. Both were so well done and completely rewatchable. This one’s for you, Jason. #sixfanarts #ottawaart #ottawaartist #incredibles #helenparr #elastigirl #procreate https://www.instagram.com/p/CAiA2fgDm4B/?igshid=1d7n2dis9em1l

Snoopy and Woodstock have been a fond part of my hubby and my childhood memories. It was fun revisiting Snoopy, @holly_thelazyartist, thank you for the suggestion! #snoopy #ottawaart #ottawaartist #sixfanarts https://www.instagram.com/p/B_0E0dODxdP/?igshid=o9ag5vzrjoz0

Wow! I’m swimming in suggestions for #sixfanarts so the requests are closed. Thank you. I’ll be getting around to the list as time presents itself. This one is for my biggest fan and most frequent patron: my little muse. #alex #minecraft #littlemuse #chicken #ottawaart #ottawaartist https://www.instagram.com/p/B_OaTbOD5vt/?igshid=uespfqtotcym

Stripe from Gremlins, before he got scary. I think he’s hungry, but I’m not sure if it’s past midnight... #drawingbackchallenge #mychildhood #gremlins #mogwai #80sthrowback #ottawaart #ottawaartist #cartoonart #illustrator #illustration #procreate #procreateart #digitalart https://www.instagram.com/p/B-69zMaDB2w/?igshid=1di5xzokglwlq

So my creative friend @dzhelasi is hosting a draw this in your style challenge. I love her dark and quirky take on things. It’s the yang to my children’s book illustrations, yet still whimsical and quirky. DZ, here is my take on your adorable mischief-maker. A little warmup piece I call, “Hanging Around.” Swipe to see her original. #dtiys #dtiysdz #ottawaart #ottawaartist #whimsicalart #batcat #playful https://www.instagram.com/p/B-hZZMQDpwY/?igshid=1fsd6cd96jkg1

That's right. It's no April Fool's joke. We are going to continue these Art Jams and Drawing Lessons all throughout April! #artclassesforkids #artjamforkids #fightingtheboredom #ottawaart #ottawaartist #virtuallearning https://www.instagram.com/p/B-XmJhDDMZz/?igshid=4rs4wsjf0lk4

Wisp and Willow are reading a fun tale to pass the time. Managed to get one more in for #gothspringchallenge : Ghost Story. And since this challenged birthed one of my favourite muses a few years ago, she and her companion had to make an appearance. #ghoststory #willothewisp #wisp #ottawaart #ottawaartist #procreate #digitalart https://www.instagram.com/p/B-CSWbwjt4d/?igshid=ahjm64h3edh0

Not quite a week trying to practice social distancing and reading all the news and feeling all the things. Wisp is my doodlebug. When I’m not sure how to express myself, I often find I can when doodling her. Whatever you are feeling, right now, it’s valid. And you are not alone. #wisp #willothewisp #sketchbook #sketchingemotions #ottawaart #ottawaartist https://www.instagram.com/p/B97uvUKjIV1/?igshid=u58nkgwsfvxk

With social distancing and my little artist at home for the next three weeks, I thought, what better way to share in some fun than online! Join us with your little artists Wednesday at 1 PM EST on Facebook Live as we host a how-to Art Jam. This week’s theme: WHALES. Get some paper (any size) and something to draw and colour with. Afterwards, you can post (or share with your parents/guardians permission) with the hashtag #drawwithsamianne. I’ll even share some results (with permission) in my Instagram Stories. Hope to see you there! #ottawaart #ottawaartist #ontarioonlineminicon #childrensbookillustration #childrenareartists #kidsworkshop #artworkshopforchildren https://www.instagram.com/p/B9xITAfjvHz/?igshid=4k3vrq2tjdzz

Any guesses at what Trek this represents? No cheating by looking at hashtags! ;) #trekkieforlife #startrekds9 #startrek #ds9 #613geekmarket #ottawaart #ottawaartist https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ckPZNDkWp/?igshid=bqkeyxi2gzs2

It’s going to be a bit of a Pokémon-themed weekend for me. This is the vulpix old school vs new school print and sticker I’ll be releasing for #613geekmarket this March. Vulpix is one of my favourite Pokémon. #vulpix #pokemon #fanartfriday #fanart #ottawaart #ottawaartist https://www.instagram.com/p/B9HhttoD-Es/?igshid=vmspz85ss2pi
