“Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.” – Colin Powell
A reminder that a positive mindset can amplify our impact. Staying hopeful even in challenging times can bring unexpected strength.
The background was made in Procreate.

One of my Procreate creations—a fluid acrylic paint pour style painting with one of my custom inky brush textures. The cells you often see in acrylic pours are made with a custom brush by Alaina Jensen. I love using fluid effects along with unique patterns and textures in my work. It feels both calming and exciting to me.

This is one of my paintings done in Procreate. The Illustration was drawn using a photo reference, I prefer using loose, simple lines to allow the texture of my custom inky abstract brush and the colour below to show through.

This came up in my Facebook memories. Ten years ago already. My Taste The Tube map! It’s a unique spin on the London Underground map that replaces the station names with the taste/texture of the words for someone who can taste words (a type of synesthesia). I designed the logo for the project. The idea was to have something food related in the style of the London Underground logo. Close enough to be recognizable yet not so close to infringe on copyright. It was a fun project to work on!

Finding inspiration in the smallest details—like the intricate lines of an Orthoceras fossil—is a reminder that art is all around us, waiting to be discovered. I recently turned this ancient squid-like creature’s fossil into a custom stamp brush for Procreate. The fossil’s beautifully preserved lines and subtle textures offer a unique way to layer history into my digital mixed media work. I’m excited to see how this piece of the past will blend into contemporary compositions. Sometimes, the best art starts with just a simple curiosity. 🖤

This started out with an agate slice in mind, but the piece had other ideas. The fluid art technique in Procreate and some play with the liquify tool transformed it into something unexpected—a fantasy fireball, perhaps. Sometimes the process takes you to surprising places. Still learning and loving every step. 🔥

Taking a leap into the unpredictable—these images were born from an experimental approach with Procreate, where I played around with a chaotic, hand-painted background to test some custom brush ideas. The real surprise came when I ran the background through DECIM8, a glitch art app, which turned the chaos into these intricate, almost architectural patterns. It’s fascinating to see how disorder can be transformed into something structured and visually compelling. Sometimes, the mess holds more potential than we expect.

This piece brings together the fluidity of abstract art with the precision of AI-generated detail. I started with an abstract background in Procreate, letting the colors and forms flow naturally. Check out my reel to watch me create it! The portrait, added later, is a collage element created with AI, which I then blended into the piece. The result is a fusion of traditional and digital techniques, where organic and artificial elements meet. It’s a quiet exploration of how different mediums can coexist in a single composition.

Playing with fluid art in Procreate, I added an “inky cell” brush I created to give this piece a bit more of an abstract vibe. Just a quick, fun experiment with movement and texture.
