Hi Bluesky! I'm Morgan. I love drawing cozy cottagecore animals. I'm here to connect with other artists, be part of this community, and hopefully find some work. 😊

My Cautionary Tale in Book Publishing

You write your first manuscript. Obviously, it’s crap! You realize you need to take your skills to the next level for a chance to beat the odds in this business. You invest in courses. You rewrite....

Cats at #home 🏡
I have been working on this drawing for a while, little by little, and I really like it 💛

#sensoryart #artyear #smartist #catsky #art #pigeonsky

A digital drawing showing a house front with six large windows and some ivy growing between them. Inside the windows, cats are engaging in different activities in front of differently designed backgrounds. On the left side of the house, A cat-mom has just baked cookies in what looks to be a window and her child is lowering something on a line desceding from their window. Next to them, a cat in a straw hat is tending to flowers on their balcony, to the right, an orange cat is balancing in a stool, hanging up a prideflag while her roommate is watching from a bench at the window. On the second row of windows, a small cat is grabbing a red bucket with a "cookies" label that is lowered by their friend while its sister watches from the top of a bunkbed. Next to them a cat looking similar to them is reading in a large book, in a room decorated with stars and a telescope. They also have a foto showing a smiling lucky cat. In the last window a similar looking lucky cat is painting something on an easle.
Between the different windows, small other animals are drawn, with two tiny windows with mice, one hiding and one blowing bubbles and two sparrows and a pigeon sitting on different window frames.

Just a quick study. The current contents of my dining room table fruit bowl. I’m slowly finding my way back to creating.

Done with @ittaimanero.bsky.social’s soft pastel medium brush.

Yes, thanks they are! 🧡 I just got a book that shows how to stitch a bunch of flowers, I can't wait to try it.

I thought that this administration was ran on a pledge for peace, and saving money. Bombing Iran will do neither of these things. Another war in the Middle East in my lifetime. God forgive us.

Morgan A. Taylor @matillustration.bsky.social · Jun 22

Thank you! I put little beads in the center of the flowers. I'm currently working on a stitch chart

Embroidery has consumed a good chunk of my life. It's something that I can really escape into.

Hope that all of you are surviving, and finding ways to escape the madness, just for the little bit.

I am going to draw something in the coming weeks. It's been too long.

It always warms my heart to see illustrators creating to oppose the latest A.I. trend. ❤️
