Cordial Kitten

I was going to let you know about a new print but I had the audacity to accept a firmware update from my printer and now it doesn’t work at all so you get to just imagine how lovely this print could be if I was able to make it for you!

I’m getting ready to start a big project soon, and need to gather some data and am wondering if you can help me. I’m needing people to tell me about all the things they see (or have seen! or want to see!) in their backyard. Do you see a swing set? An opossum? A dog chasing a tennis ball? A preying mantis? What kinds of plants are growing back there? Flowers? Did you plant them or did they plant themselves? Maybe your whole backyard is paved, or maybe you have a pool. Leave a comment (or send me a message) and tell me about what is in your backyard! Please note, these drawings and photos were not taken in my yard but at in !

There’s been a subtle shift in the air here in Indiana. I can feel fall’s presence arriving.

I designed this shirt for awhile ago. Definitely time to pull it back out, or buy a new one at !

I’ve seen a lot of people counting down to Halloween. I do enjoy Halloween but I’m not yet ready to give up on summer. I know it’s coming, though.

A true story.

A true story.

Home sweet home. Now booking for family, pet, and house portraits, or all three!

I got to draw this cute cat and also this wicked mullet. I’d love to draw your mullet, if you’d let me! I love comparing the final with the original sketch.

Hiding place.

Created for a secret project for a friend’s big birthday. I love drawing with a scratchy black line.

Finding inspiration around me.

Hey.

Have you ever heard of (or attended) a “Bring Your Own Pool Party?”

Need a Father’s Day idea? I have room for ONE more Full Service Portrait (like this one) or TWO more Value Portraits (like this one, but without a background, just plain white). Message me for details!!

Today is the ! I’m not going to make it this year but I am there in spirit. Scroll to see some of the peonies in my life right now!

I made this Reading Lady awhile back. What book are you reading right now? I’m reading Seek You by

Sometimes portraits have elaborate backgrounds, sometimes they’re simple. But they can still showcase everyone’s personality and interests!

The cutest rainbow of cats you’ll ever see.
