Day 16 #catober: leaf and #scarycutespooktober: apparition

An illustration of falling leaves with ghostly cat figures appearing to ride down on them. The leaves are different shapes and colors.

For those who might question how this is matcha, here’s the original photo I took to make this piece. #noai #justoldschoolphotoediting

A hand is holding a small, round cup filled with green matcha tea.

[People with trypophobia, look away!]

I’m low key mesmerized by the bubbles atop a freshly whipped matcha. I love how they feel randomly patterned and full of texture. Not sure if I’ll get to drawing them one day, but I captured them in this photo composition 🙃. #foodphotography #matcha #foodasart

A close up picture of the bubbles on top of a matcha. One half of the picture is in black and white and the other is vibrant green. The two sides are divided by a black bar.

How do you Fall? I feel like I Fall most days more leaf than pumpkin (but def. have my pumpkin-y moments) #fall #autumn #cuteart #itsokaytofeelalittlepumpkin-yrn

There are four fall colored animated characters, a pumpkin, an acorn, a leaf, and a mushroom. The pumpkin is falling and making a scared face. The acorn is looking at the pumpkin with concern. The leaf is falling happily and gracefully. The mushroom is all smiles. They are all in front of a lilac background.

I know we just changed seasons, but I’m excited for the moment when I look up and see this again 🍂. Taken in Washington, DC #autumn #trees #photography #nature #thecolorsdude

looking up at a canopy of a tree with bright red, orange, and yellow, and light green leaves. The sky behind the tree is a light blue and the branches are a dark brown. The sun shines through the leaves to give the a bright glow.

Happy #Fall, Y’all (I would say #Autumn, but couldn't work out a word that rhymed with it for addressing the collective, 🤷🏽‍♀️)!

In celebration of the change in seasons you can find a few Fall related #stickers on sale in the studio shop through the end of the month: www.bespeckledstudio.com/shop/sale

Two illustrated best friends smiling and standing in a forest surrounded by brown and red falling leaves. One is dressed in a maroon sweater and newsboy hat carrying a mug and book and the other is dressed in an orange puffy jacket with a maroon knit hat carrying a bag full of produce and a donut. The bag of produce has on it, “I pumpkin emoji Fall”.

Gave myself a design prompt to make a sticker for a summer themed, boba tea launch for an imaginary brand. I had a time limit and things I had to incorporate (like sunglasses and peaches). Pretty pleased at the result and it was good practice. #artpractice #commissions #bobaart #bobatea #vectorart

A picture of a computer screen with a drawing of a bob tea with sunglasses and a smile. The drawing has various shades of orange and there are also pictures of peaches. There’s a caption in front of the boba tea figure that reads “peachy pop”.
