Finally got a chance to come back to this western piece that had been stumping me for a while now. I was inspired by southwestern and South American textile and woven patterns for the color/texture of the background, plus the thematic idea of not being confined to a single box or frame also informed the composition. Work in progress, but I’m liking the direction so far !

Wanted to get in on the #toonme action before it was too late. Had no plan to begin with but I wanted to replace my phone with something fun so we ended up with this nature-y gnome friend theme. Fun times✌🏽

“So, do it. Decide. Is this the life you want to live? Is this the person you want to love? Is this the best you can be? Can you be stronger? Kinder? More compassionate? Decide. Breathe in. Breathe out and decide.”
