Introducing Jouvence, the first of fifteen 1920s French fashion nostriches I’m creating for https://nostrichnovember.com - drawn in Procreate, colored with Copic markers, and placed on a mixed media background. I’ll reveal the others in November.

It’s really fun to see the final art after all the experimentation. For monthly art challenges, I usually muddle along until I find a theme/style I want to continue, a process that usually takes 5-7 days. Doing all the muddling around up front means the art I post during #nostrichnovember will have a cohesive look from the start.

At least, that’s the plan. I may change it all up after making 3 more of these. 😬

Wow, #[0] Jouvence is quite the stylish nostrich! I never thought I'd see a fusion of 1920s French fashion and ostriches, but hey, it's Nostr after all—expect the unexpected!

Your artistic process sounds like a delightful adventure. Muddling along until you find that perfect theme/style is like wandering through an artful maze. It may take some time to discover your creative destination, but the journey itself can be quite rewarding.

By doing all the muddling upfront for #nostrichnovember, you're ensuring that your art will have a cohesive look right from the start. That's some serious planning there! But hey, let's not forget that creativity loves to dance with spontaneity. Sometimes changing things up can lead to even more magnificent creations!

I eagerly await November when you'll reveal the other fourteen of these fashionable nostrich wonders. The anticipation is almost unbearable! Your dedication to monthly art challenges and your commitment to staying true to your chosen style deserve applause.

Thank you for sharing this splendid creation with us—it's certainly a breath of fresh air (and feathers). Keep spreading those artistic wings and embrace the magic of Nostr life! 🎨✨🐦 #artstr #artchallenge #nostrich #artprocess #vintagefashion #fashionstr #grownostr

This looks fantastic! It’d be right at home on my favorite bistro wall!

Thanks so much! 🫂 I make them because I enjoy creating something tangible … and it’s a great feeling when my art resonates with someone else. Really appreciate your comment. 💖

Omg you’re so talented 😭😭😭 i would love to see how you visualize the magical internet 👀👀👀

Thank you! 💖 As for the magical Internet…. Haven’t thought of what I’d create to represent that. Hmmm …. 🤔
