Here’s a girl carrying her lunch tray, probably in the school cafeteria. My daughter tells me that her school doesn’t use lockers anymore, so the kids carry their backpacks everywhere. Even to the lunch room.

A Southeast Asian child, age 10-12 walks carrying a lunch tray at school. She is wearing a red backpack and glasses. Her long black hair is in a braid over one shoulder. She's wearing gray sneakers, a black skirt, purple t-shirt, and a denim jacket.

This is our second action skating pose. Not as intense as the roller derby character earlier, but still fun.

A Southeast Asian boy, age 7-9, is skating with inline skates. It's an action pose with his upper body twisted one way with his hips turned the other as he pushes with his skate. He is wearing jeans, a red hoodie, inline skates, a black helmet, and knee pads.

This is another where I used that flower stamp that I have to scatter flowers for the shirt pattern. I also really enjoyed making the balloons semi-transparent for this look.

One of the recurring themes in this project is winter. So, here’s a boy sledding.

He's wearing black snow boots, jeans, a blue puffy coat with hood, light blue mittens, and a matching light blue knit hat.

She’s off to catch butterflies.

I’m definitely getting practice drawing bicycles and scooters and such in this project.

This batch is Southeast Asian people.

A reminder, since it’s been awhile, of what these images are. These are art samples of the work I did for Learning A-Z last year. The project called for 150 unique characters, isolated on white, with an emphasis on diversity (age, race, body size, ability, and gender identity). To make certain we included examples of all major racialized populations, all but two batches were designed to represent specific races.

Technical note:
This site is hosted on WordPress.com. I use automated social media posting with their JetPack plug-in to reduce the amount of manual posting I have to do. Previously, twitter was one of the companies that was supported for auto posting. I hadn’t used this feature for several months since I deleted my twitter account. However, today I noticed that, as of May 18th, twitter is no longer supported at all, which I thought was interesting. More on that. In addition, they added support for auto posting on Mastodon and Instagram. This is excellent news as that takes care of 2 of the 3 sites I was still manually posting to. This will be a helpful time saver. Anyway, I just set up auto posting for Mastodon and Instagram and I’ll be watching this post to make sure it all works correctly. Hopefully it will. 🙂

I know next to nothing about skiing. (I’ve always been afraid I’d break my leg if I tried.) But I hope I got this guy’s gear correct anyway. I used references to verify.

An elderly East Asian man stands in ski gear, ready for the slopes. He is holding his blue and yellow skis in one hand and matching ski poles in the other. He's got ski boots, snow pants, an orange puffer coat, a yellow ski helmet, and orange goggles.
