Challenge 100: Carousel Animal: World Turtle
Happy 100 challenges ya’ll! I personally haven’t been around Square Carousel since the beginning, but I have been around long enough to truly appreciate this massive milestone for the collective!
I chose to illustrate my carousel animal as the world turtle. I love anything that ties back to the ocean, nature and all of its beauty. Hope you enjoy!

Challenge 99: Freebie: Howl’s Halloween
After taking a small break from Square Carousel, I couldn’t be happier to be back and starting off with a fun freebie challenge! It being one of my favorite times of the year, I chose to show the characters of Howl’s Moving Castle all decked out for Halloween. Hope you all enjoy, as this one was definitely a blast to put together!

Challenge 94: Flags: Pride Month
For this challenge around, I wanted to create a flag that both incorporated my family heritage as well as celebrated Pride Month. Taking a previous piece I made for The Letter Society, I took the symbol of my family heritage—a mixture of four flags—and made it fabulous! Who doesn’t like a sassy pegasus?

Challenge 93: Favorite Song: Mika
Lately, with all of the crap going on in the world—US and abroad—I can really appreciate working through the muck and finding small bits of positivity and hope. Mika has been a long favorite of mine for his crazy vocals and wonderfully playful, poppy music. This piece was inspired by his songs of hard times and persevering through them. I couldn’t agree more with his lyric; we should all strive to find a small amount of love for one another. With that, I hope you enjoy the piece and Happy Pride!

Challenge 92: Self Portraits: Favorite Clothes
For my new SC portrait, I wanted to show some of my favorite clothing items that I ware on the day-to-day while I’m creating! Hope you enjoy.

Challenge 89: Scientific Illustration: Voyage of the Beagle For our Scientific Illustration theme, I decided to go a slightly different direction with my subject matter. Instead of focusing on the individual plants, animals and specimens, I chose to draw a scene with the individuals that go out into nature to document and record. In particular, I was inspired by Charles Darwin’s journeys on the HMS Beagle. Here is a scene of Darwin sketching out in the jungles of Rio de Janeiro. —Casey
Challenge 91: Science: What’s Out There
One thing that I wanted to capture with the prompt of Science, was the wonder and excitement as a kid you have when learning about the universe and all the amazing facts about our planet. There’s something special about how discovery and science go hand-in-hand.

Challenge 88: Love: To love oneself...
Lately I’ve been dabbling in drawing and painting in the Oculus’ Quill app—with some amount of successes and failures. I was inspired to continue practicing creating in VR for this challenge and hand-lettered a favorite Oscar Wilde quote of mine. You can check out the full rendering over at my Sketchfab page.
Lots of love,
Casey
