Oh wow, we are 50 members in The Wonky Art Society already! I am honestly so happy and grateful right now. Every single one of you who decided to join, say hi, introduce yourself, comment, like, share your art, or simply be here quietly in the background — thank you. It really means a lot. I had hoped this little creative space would find its people, but seeing it happen so quickly is just wonderful. Starting something new is always a bit scary, and having 50 lovely artists here already makes me feel very, very lucky. And also slightly emotional, but we’ll pretend I’m being totally cool and professional about it. 😇 Thank you for being part of this from the beginning. I’m so excited to see how this space grows, what we’ll create together, and how many wonderfully wonky art moments will happen here. Welcome, everyone. I’m genuinely happy you’re here. ❤️

Alright, here‘s my contribution to this weeks prompts. Besides the shelf I‘ve included all of them, sunglasses, friendly (the world looks more friendly with pink glasses on of course and when they‘re even heart-shaped, nothing can go wrong. ✨) and pastel (at least in the background.) 😇

Guess what I found in my inbox this morning? The newest issue of Janine Vangool's "all about YOU" Newsletter (Yes, THE Janine from Uppercase Magazine!), and guess who made an appearance in it?! My thoughts about wonky shapes & low pressure art-making! 🤯😱 I am still in a bit of disbelief, but also so, so grateful... I just had to share this little bit of happy news with my favorite bunch of creative humans because you’ve been cheering me on every step of the way. 💛 You can read the entire issue here

Heyho everyone! My cold seems to be gone, the temperature has dropped to 30°C/~86°F, and my brain is able to work properly again. 😂 Thanks again for all your well wishes! ❤️ Anyhow, back to business… 😇 Mark your calendars for next Friday! I’ll host our next live session and show you my way of shading. A few of you said you’d like to understand the process a bit better, and I’m happy to listen. When: Friday, July 3rd, 5pm CEST / 4pm UK / 11am ET / 8am PDT / 8:30pm IST Where: https://www.skool.com/live/4RwFFydhGtk (All events are always marked in the Calendar tab, just fyi.) This session is open for all members to attend live. I’m planning to record it, too — fingers crossed I’ll get the hang of the tech 😇 — and turn it into a Level 3 Reward that will be available in the Classroom later. This session will definitely be the highlight of my day! („highlight“ - as in shading, you get it? Nevermind… 🤪😂😇) See you Friday! ❤️

Hey everyone and happy Monday! It's time to announce the new prompt for this week, and guess what? My wonderful intern @Peter Schneider (aka husband) has made something for me! He has developed a Drawing Prompt Generator iOS app for me, how cool is that?! From now on we will be using the app to generate our weekly prompts, so even I don't have to sweat and think of something we could draw. 😇 And the best part, you can even choose the challenge level! Relaxed: 1 prompt (a simple "what" --> green) Easy: 2 prompts (a "what" and a "where" --> pink) Medium: 3 prompts (a "what", a "where", and a "mood"! --> yellow) Full wonky chaos: 4 prompts ("what", "where", "mood", AND color suggestion! 😇 --> red) You can interpret them however you like. Digital, traditional, quick sketch, finished illustration, tiny doodle, dramatic masterpiece, suspicious little blob with personality — all welcome. The goal is not to make something perfect. The goal is to show up, play a little and see where the prompts take you. Feel free to share your sketch or finished piece in the community whenever you’re ready. I can’t wait to see what you make! Jutta <3 PS: As we progress with our app I might need a few of you who would like to test the app on their iPhones/iPads. Let me know if you're interested! ✨
