@bamumford @MyCommonwealth @jeannebodine Looks like they’re cracking down on it like you want! That’s good. I personally have not seen anyone skip fare on buses. It would be a shame if funding got held up because of a problem they’re already working on fixing 🤷🏻‍♀️.

[Sarah Ryan @SarahRyanDraws]

@bamumford @MyCommonwealth @jeannebodine I take the 115 bus every day and have never seen anyone not pay…. Where are you getting data about fare hoppers? I’d love to see a source.

👁️What catches your eye?? 👁️
I've been busy today framing up some original art for the HGC Holiday Art and Fine Craft show this weekend!
I picked some old and new pieces, plus some butterflies! I don't bring original art out often, so stop by and check it out.

Have you seen the @westcraftfest flyer?? Here's a look and some close ups of the birds. I'll be there Saturday, but you should go both days because there are completely different vendors each day.
.
Which bird is your favorite? I think mine is the lady cardinal.

[Sarah Ryan @SarahRyanDraws]

Are you excited for game 1 of the World Series tonight? I am! I don't have any Phillies merch to share....But this male cardinal is red, and butterscotch krimpets are from Philly. So that counts, right?

[Sarah Ryan @SarahRyanDraws]

This Saturday I'll be at @stump_philly Bella Vista from 2-6! Stop by before game 2 of the World Series to get some art, stationery, and plants, of course. 🪴
I'm excited to be in my old neighborhood. I know I'll be going home with plants and treats from the Italian market!

[Sarah Ryan @SarahRyanDraws]

Your fall flannels and coats could use a friend!
I added some new wooden pin designs last night. You can find them online or in person this weekend:
🍂 Saturday: Camilla Hall Oktoberfest
🍂 Sunday: Upper Darby Harvest Festival
.
Which is your favorite?
.
PS: Go Phils!!

@brhendastarr1 @clovermarket They eat ticks!! 😂😂

Happy October! Happy Bat Month!
I know some people get a little squeamish about bats, but they are AMAZING pollinators. If you enjoy avocados, mangos, and bananas, thank a bat! 🦇
.
I'll have bat garlands, prints, cards, and stickers with me at @clovermarket Bryn Mawr on Oct 9th

Happy #fatbearweek !
From @nationalparkservice :
It’s time! Fat Bear Week is kinda a BIG deal. For bears, fat equals survival. Each winter, bears enter the den where they will not eat or drink until they emerge in spring.

[Sarah Ryan @SarahRyanDraws]

Happy National Ice Cream Cone day!! I think every holiday should be ice cream related.... What's your go-to flavor?

[Sarah Ryan @SarahRyanDraws]

This weekend I'll be at West Craft Fest on Saturday, and @ChestnutHillPA Fall for the Arts on Sunday! I'll have these spiders with me, and I'm looking forward to the cooler weather. I'm so excited for the weekend! 🍂🕷️🕸️

[Sarah Ryan @SarahRyanDraws]

There's a big oak tree outside our window that has been dropping so many acorns! The squirrels have been going nuts for them!! It was hard for me to find some without bites in them for this picture.
I'll have this print and many others with me this weekend at @ILoveThatPlace

[Sarah Ryan @SarahRyanDraws]

Hi!! I know you're supposed to show your face on social media more often than I do, but this is me! (in my kind of chaotic workspace)
.
Yesterday was my 40th birthday! Sept 1st marks FIVE years of me being a completely self employed artist!
.
Thanks for all the support & love!

[Sarah Ryan @SarahRyanDraws]

I love these new wooden pins! I just put this opossum and raccoon on Etsy, and I dropped some off at Mercantile at Doylestown too!
Are you team opossum or team raccoon??
I'll add some new designs this fall too. Which animal would you like to see as a pin?

[Sarah Ryan @SarahRyanDraws]

I'm not a big fan of summer, but there are some beautiful things about it... Like dragonflies! I went out kayaking earlier this week, and saw more than I've ever seen in my life! They are so fun to watch!
.
Have you noticed a lot of dragonflies this summer?

[Sarah Ryan @SarahRyanDraws]

Happy Friday!
It's been such a busy year! The busiest yet for my art business.
It's been hard to find time to draw. This week I made it a goal to put aside some time for new work. The goal was to finish these swallows, but I'm happy I at least got a decent start!

We lived long and prospered together.

I shall have more to say about the trailblazing, incomparable Nichelle Nichols, who shared the bridge with us as Lt. Uhura of the USS Enterprise, and who passed today at age 89. For today, my heart is heavy, my eyes shining like the stars you now rest among, my dearest friend.

[Sarah Ryan @SarahRyanDraws]

Have you seen the poster for the fall West Craft Fest?! It's my favorite event!
.
What's your favorite West Philly animal? I have lots of favorites!
.
Applications for vendors are up until August 8th.
