Oh wow, we are 50 members in The Wonky Art Society already! I am honestly so happy and grateful right now. Every single one of you who decided to join, say hi, introduce yourself, comment, like, share your art, or simply be here quietly in the background — thank you. It really means a lot. I had hoped this little creative space would find its people, but seeing it happen so quickly is just wonderful. Starting something new is always a bit scary, and having 50 lovely artists here already makes me feel very, very lucky. And also slightly emotional, but we’ll pretend I’m being totally cool and professional about it. 😇 Thank you for being part of this from the beginning. I’m so excited to see how this space grows, what we’ll create together, and how many wonderfully wonky art moments will happen here. Welcome, everyone. I’m genuinely happy you’re here. ❤️

Okay, important question: On a scale from 1 to 10, how much are we loving this little eye & soul candy situation? Please note: the correct answer is obviously 12. 😇 I shared this process reel on Instagram yesterday, but of course I wanted to bring it here too, because not everyone hangs out over there — and I want you to see what I’m currently working on! This is from my upcoming class, and honestly, I’m having so much fun with these colors, shapes and tiny details. There‘s still a lot of editing to do, but I really couldn‘t keep it in any longer 😇

Hello lovely artists, here‘s this weeks prompt! Always remember: you don‘t need to go with all 4 of them! Low-pressure‘s our motto! ❤️ Start with the „Who“, and if you feel like it add the „Where“, if you still feel bored even add the „Mood“ but if you feel like going all-wonky-in, add the „Color“ as well! ❤️ Do as you please and how it brings you the most joy. Have fun!

Heyho everyone! My cold seems to be gone, the temperature has dropped to 30°C/~86°F, and my brain is able to work properly again. 😂 Thanks again for all your well wishes! ❤️ Anyhow, back to business… 😇 Mark your calendars for next Friday! I’ll host our next live session and show you my way of shading. A few of you said you’d like to understand the process a bit better, and I’m happy to listen. When: Friday, July 3rd, 5pm CEST / 4pm UK / 11am ET / 8am PDT / 8:30pm IST Where: https://www.skool.com/live/4RwFFydhGtk (All events are always marked in the Calendar tab, just fyi.) This session is open for all members to attend live. I’m planning to record it, too — fingers crossed I’ll get the hang of the tech 😇 — and turn it into a Level 3 Reward that will be available in the Classroom later. This session will definitely be the highlight of my day! („highlight“ - as in shading, you get it? Nevermind… 🤪😂😇) See you Friday! ❤️

Guess what I found in my inbox this morning? The newest issue of Janine Vangool's "all about YOU" Newsletter (Yes, THE Janine from Uppercase Magazine!), and guess who made an appearance in it?! My thoughts about wonky shapes & low pressure art-making! 🤯😱 I am still in a bit of disbelief, but also so, so grateful... I just had to share this little bit of happy news with my favorite bunch of creative humans because you’ve been cheering me on every step of the way. 💛 You can read the entire issue here
