A vacuum-sealed travel bag filled with folded clothing rests on a hotel bed. A black portable electric air pump is attached to the bag and actively removing air, compressing the contents for packing. In the background are a wooden nightstand with a black lamp and a vintage-style rotary telephone, along with patterned wallpaper featuring a woodland scene.
A graphite and colored-pencil illustration of a gender-ambiguous figure standing in a historic courtyard with balconies and archways. The person wears dark sunglasses, a large red bow in their long black ponytail, and a short red-and-white striped skirt. Their back is turned toward the viewer while they glance over one shoulder with a confident, alluring expression. Most of the drawing is rendered in black and white, with the bow and skirt highlighted in vivid red. A vertical sticker on the left side reads “Ig: @DATArting.”
A pencil sketch of a person taking a mirror selfie, standing in a relaxed pose with one hip slightly out. They’re wearing a hoodie and socks, and appear to be pushing the hoodie outward with one hand, which exaggerates the shape of their midsection. A colorful cartoon crown sticker covers their eyes. Flame emojis are placed over the hips and upper thigh area for modesty and emphasis. On the right, a partial mirror reflection shows the same figure from the side. The drawing has a loose, in-progress feel on textured paper.
Work-in-progress pencil sketch of a person’s face and upper torso, drawn at a slight diagonal angle. The figure wears a knit beanie and large over-ear headphones, with a calm, slightly smiling expression and relaxed eyes. The facial features are softly shaded, with attention to the lips, cheeks, and a bit of texture along the chin. The nose and eyes are lightly detailed, giving a gentle, expressive look. The figure appears to be wearing a simple shirt, with only the neckline and shoulders loosely outlined. Most of the detail is concentrated in the face, while the rest of the body remains minimal and unfinished. The lines are sketchy and organic, with visible pencil strokes and light cross-hatching that emphasize the piece as a work in progress. The overall style feels intimate and expressive, capturing mood more than precision. The background is blank, and the drawing is clearly in an early stage, inviting future layers such as ink, watercolor, pastel, or other mixed media.
A watercolor-style portrait of a Black person with long locs and a calm, introspective expression, painted in warm orange and brown tones. The artwork is displayed on a wooden easel in a gallery-like space, with a pink “@DATARTING” Instagram-style graphic overlaid across the image.
Illustration of a plus-size Black person posing confidently against a brick wall and doorway. They wear a bright red off-the-shoulder dress with a thigh-high slit, a wide-brim red hat with a bow, red sneakers, and dark sunglasses. One hand rests on their hip while the other touches the wall. The figure is drawn mostly in black-and-white pencil, with the red clothing and accessories in bold color, emphasizing body confidence, fashion, and joy. Large diagonal text reads “IG: DAT INC,” with the artist’s handle also written near the shoulder.
A festive Christmas graphic featuring Rev. Derek Terry sitting on the floor in red holiday pajamas and cozy socks, smiling beside a small green toy dinosaur in front of a decorated Christmas tree. The design includes red and green accents and the text “Merry Christmas!” with the handle @revderekterry.
Digital fashion illustration of a person with long, sleek black hair styled in a high ponytail with bangs. They are wearing a black top with thin straps and are posed playfully, sticking out their tongue slightly between parted lips. Their expression is confident and flirty, with sharp eyebrows and direct eye contact that feels bold and self-assured. The art style mimics marker and watercolor fashion sketch techniques, with smooth shading and visible strokes that give texture and warmth. Large stylized text reading “@DATARTING” is placed diagonally across the image in bold white letters with a black outline, identifying the artist. The overall vibe is sexy, glamorous, and high-fashion with an emphasis on individuality and energy.
