Pantone MerMay 2020

Adobe Photoshop

Sizes May Vary

May 2020

Best of 31 pieces done for MerMay. This year, the twist is these prompts are based on Pantone color swatches, chosen as prompts by artists Sonia Stegemann and vetvy.

The titles under the pieces are the names of the Pantone swatches featured in the top left corner of each image.

The last image is a bonus not part of the original prompt list in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
