Most of my mushroom paintings are of fantasy shrooms, but this one is real! Amanita Caesarea - a real hottie that I have yet to find in the wild. Getting this finished sucked and I’m glad it’s over! ⚰️ I initially sketched this over a year ago, sat on it for months cause I wanted to do it up big on a panel, realized I would need to spend hundreds on new supplies to make that happen, kept sitting on it, finally decided to just paint it like usual on paper, and have been slowly chipping away at it in between commissions, and trying (and mostly failing) to film the process. Hopefully posting a painting Reel later this week, TBD… I will release prints of this soon, stay tuned!

I’ve been working on this off and on since December, and she’s finally finished!!! I couldn’t make up my mind about the colours, so I switched them up at the very end. I am working on a Reel of the drawing process, stay tuned! 💖 . . . #procreate #applepencil #digitalart #digitalportrait #braids #illustration #illustrationart #illo #artistsoninstagram #painting #contemporaryart #womenofillustration #womenartists #womxnartist #womenwhodraw #shannonknight https://www.instagram.com/p/CqDVBZ3OuR6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A little something in between commissions. 👽 I’ve been meaning to try painting with just acrylic gouache (no watercolour) for ages and this was the first experiment. I think it looks great, but it is so much less forgiving when you make a mistake! 🥲 I’m going to try a bigger piece, but this was hard. I definitely want to paint more alien flowers, but lots of commissions to get out first! . . . #alienplant #alienflower #surrealism #popsurrealism illustration #illustrator #illustrationart #illo #artistsoninstagram #painting #gouache #contemporaryart #shannonknight https://www.instagram.com/p/ChR_j_ruwVk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This started in my sketchbook and after several mishaps, I switched to Procreate, and I am so glad that I did! She came out so cute!!! Serving dreamsicle Shelley Duvall aesthetic 🍊 You can see the "making of" in the Reel I posted earlier this week, in case you missed it.

It's been a rough week, all. Here's a little something from the archives! Watercolour and gouache on paper, 2016 I think but what even is time honestly . . . #illustration #illustrationart #illo #artistsoninstagram #handlettering #greetingcard #painting #contemporaryart #womenofillustration #womenartists #womxnartist #womenwhodraw #portlandartist #portlandart #pdxart #shannonknight https://www.instagram.com/p/CHp3pxFs7xV/?igshid=o1sntfaxo7e6

I've been slowing noodling away at this since I watched Hema Malini in Abhinetri (1970) a few weeks ago - 70's Bollywood served up some of the most amazing looks I have ever seen, and this is one of my favourites! THE DAISIES!!! This whole film is soooo pretty, if you're lucky enough to find it. 🌼🌼🌼 . . . #bollywood #abhinetri #hemamalini #procreate #applepencil #digitalart #digitalportrait #illustration #illustrationart #contemporaryart #womenofillustration #womenartists #womxnartist #womenwhodraw #portlandartist #portlandart #pdxart #shannonknight https://www.instagram.com/p/CD_csiln2NH/?igshid=1n4hoy4lwwpc0

I painted this piece in 2018 about smashing the patriarchy but it feels pretty appropriate right now. Stay strong my friends! ❤️ Your shop orders this week have allowed me to donate over $100 to Black Lives Matter!
