Hi #kidlitcommunity !
Finally finished this blue flower piece after two months! Struggling to maintain my art practice while juggling other responsibilities. Any tips from artists about how they stay consistent and motivated would be greatly appreciatedπŸ’™

a board  book style illustration of a young elephant in overalls, peering under the edge of a tablecloth. It is done in a chunky black line with chalky color applied in gray-blue, mustard yellow, and dark orange.

White birds, zebras, blue butterflies and a big blue elephant burst out of a book held open by a girl in glasses and a red dress standing on a tall stool against a yellow background. In the corner, reads: β€œMiko Fleming”;”illustrator”

i'm always frustrated by the narrative that lockdowns weren't traumatizing for disabled people. i get it, but as a disabled person who lives alone and for whom isolation is a MASSIVE trigger for my illness, yes, lockdowns were intensely traumatic. disability is not a monolith!

Looking back on old prints I made while I rebuild my portfolio. This piece was my first attempt at #linocut, and even with some very visible mistakes I loved the process and outcome. Definitely one of my favorite #printmaking techniques❀️

I’ve been thinking about lost childhood toys recently, and wanted to draw a little guy waiting patiently to be found by his friend🐻🌿
