Prints coming fall 2026!! Pre-order at link in bio by @bynico.art

My goal when painting these is to 1) make your eyes go wide and 2) make you feel happy and nostalgic. And maybe make your mouth water a little.

I had to do something simpler to give myself more confidence after last week's froot loops disaster. I want a more exciting composition idea for the next one. The pancakes were first and I was so loose and carefree with it! I've tightened up since then and I'm not loving it. My need for control and lifelong creation-based perfectionism is rearing its head.

Maybe I'll switch it up this week and paint something completely different, a landscape or something. I need to play around for a while. 🤸🏻‍♀️

Would you hang these in your kitchen? by @bynico.art

When we were kids we never carved pumpkins. Too messy, mom said. We only ever painted them.

I was talking about this the other night and my friend must have overheard because she brought me a white pumpkin the next day so I can paint it 💜

First I was going to paint a bunch of different candies all over it, candy corn was the first thing that came to mind. But as I kept walking and thinking, I said nah, I'm gonna paint the candy corn tri-color over the whole pumpkin then do a classic Jack o lantern on top, but with eyelashes. Yes.

But then I knew that wouldn't take too long and I really wanted to spend the evening painting. So Dia de Muertos it became.

I'm so glad I decided to add the white!! by @bynico.art

I moved and this is where I make art now 🥰✨

Make sure you scroll to the end for a serious serotonin boost 🐶🌊 by @bynico.art

Made this lil guy last weekend. Doesn't go with anything in my warm, earth toned home so on the bathroom cabinet it goes.

I didn't paint it for anything specific, it just seemed fun to paint an octopus. And it was! by @bynico.art

Any @giggly.squad fans? Anyone subscribe to their newsletter! Anyone see the bath mat a few weeks ago?

Well I friggin loved it and wanted to buy it but I'm not spending $70 on a bath mat. So I painted it.

I moved a couple weeks ago and have been gesso-ing over all my wall art canvases and making my own art. That's been really fun.

These canvasses used to be lil piggies.

Peep the octopus up top? That used to be a cow print. I have 3 more canvases to gesso and paint over. I found one huge canvas of a Frozen scene in the garbage! Snatched.

If you're interested in purchasing, please click the link in my bio. I want to gauge interest so I know how many of each print to order. There's just one question. No purchase or commitment necessary!

Thank you all for your support over the past few months, for all the love you've shown me and my art. I'm truly humbled!

I'm excited to share my art with you all, and to build and design my website 🤩

I promise I will choose the print shop that's able to capture my bright colors perfectly, no matter the cost. I'm big on quality and accuracy.

I can't wait to see my art on your walls! 😃 by @bynico.art

Not my usual subject! I painted this on Saturday to give to my friend @_samcam__ / @mrs.cameron.creates for her birthday.

She's a real summer girl. A Leo. Loves the pool. The sunshine. Being beautiful. And Prosecco. So I captured her in this lil 6x6 canvas 😍😎☀️👙🌊

I used to be intimidated to paint glass but it's become one of my favorite items to paint. So colorful and random!!

Breakfast collection nearly complete!

Then I gotta set up a website and take better pictures and find a good print company that can capture the intensity of these saturated colors.

Any recs?

I’ve spent years designing on screens.

Lately, I’ve been craving color, texture, and making things with my hands. Bold color. High contrast. Nostalgia. Tiny moments of joy. Probably a rebellion against millennial gray.

Anyway, here are my first few paintings. 🍳🥞🍩

Curious which one’s your favorite, or what nostalgic food I should paint next? by @bynico.art

This was my first time painting glass. I was so intimidated that I put it off for almost 3 weeks 😭

Turns out it was way easier than I thought. Like most things. (Remember this, remember this.) Just focus on shapes. You're never actually painting glass. This still fascinates me as I am so much more used to drawing than painting.

Really challenged my perfectionism here by giving myself an hour limit and allowing the pink underpainting to come through in spots.

The green looks different in each photo because of the lighting. This was also my first time using green in any of my bfast series paintings. I was astounded just how little blue is in lime green. It's like 100 parts yellow, 1 part blue. No wonder I couldn't get it right last week when I was practicing on the kiwi. 🥝
