Haven’t been in the right headspace for art lately (or I’ve just been too tired 😅) …but I have been writing & doodling for therapy! So have some weird therapy doodles ✏️✨

I’d like to visit the llama winery again soon 💕🦙

My table for the show! ✨ Realized as I was preparing this week that I need to make more art soon 😅 Also I took some time to compare my older work to my more recent work…I’m still not where I’d like to be, but I’ve improved more than I realized. Sooo now I’m feeling a bit guilty for taking such a long break. I hope I haven’t regressed! lol

My set up at Gate City Growlers ✨
I’ll be here til 6pm along with lots of other amazing artists! Come say hello! ☺️

A friend reminded me of leaf sheep (Costasiella kuroshimae), a type of sea slug 🌱🐑 so here’s a repost to my painting from a few years back

Another throwback! 🦜 Still regret not getting a better picture of this before it sold

Lately my creative outlet has been with writing instead of drawing/painting. It’s more of a vent/rant for my mental health, so it’s not exactly things I want to share lol I’ve felt more like creating new art recently, so hopefully I’ll have something new to share soon ✨maybe some of my writing will be an influence & maybe I’ll even feel comfortable sharing some of it…fair warning if I do, it’s definitely on the darker, depressing side & not at all warm & fuzzy. I feel like that’s an obvious statement, but sometimes people are really off put by my honest but not so hopeful thoughts. I’ve also noticed that I tend to be a bit flippant about it since it’s something super familiar to me. I realize it can be jarring for others tho, so I want to be respectful

A zombee 🐝 This is another throwback from forever ago inspired by ‘s fuzzy bees

In honor of they released the final episodes of the NieR anime, here’s a throwback to that time I painted a drawing did of 2B & Emil 🖤🤍🖤 that’s definitely not their color schemes, but I did what I wanted lol

Haven’t post in a while, so here’s a repeat of something I did forever ago 🫧

Magpie 🖤💙🤍

I don’t often share my rough sketches because…well they’re not pretty lol After Mitzi passed, I decided that I wanted a tattoo of her paw prints. But lack of funds gave me time to over think it & then I decided that I wanted a doodle of her too 🐾✨

She sits on me & then gets grumpy when I talk to her &/or pet her. She sits, no touch 😭

Another throwback because I’m forever exhausted lately 😅 these are relaxing to do, so hopefully I’ll have the energy to make more soon 🫧

Most recent finished commission 🐾✨

I don’t think I’ve ever post these here lol These are some cartoony self portraits that I did forever ago…so maybe I should redraw myself 😅

Finished this a while back & forgot to post 🌷🪵🌱 I’ve been going through a lot…not necessarily bad, but a lot of adjustments. I’m pretty tired & stressed most of the time, but I’m hoping things get a little easier. I plan to start making art again soon✨

Dinah is very snuggly when it’s cold 💕 She’s also very grumpy when she doesn’t get what she wants

Deleted my selfie like I knew I would 😂 but don’t fret, I have something better! Look at this majestic fluffer of a floofer✨ He plays indirect fetch with me by throwing toys into the bathroom & waiting outside the door for me to toss them out. His catching skills are most impressive

Repost of that time I started drawing Stardew Valley characters…& then I got distracted & started something else 😅

Working on a sample website for a fictitious boba tea shop…& I made a Boba-omb 🙈 I’m not going to use it on the site, but I just had to do it lol

I’ve reopened my pet (animal) portrait commissions! 🥰 I’ve gone up on my prices quite a bit (because I needed to), but if it’s too much or you’re not interested & you still want to support me, there’s an option to donate. I’ll eventually add fan art as an option, but for now it’s just animals.

Sketches & watercolor practice ✏️

Repost of Joey art! 🎀 She is the owner’s cat & a former resident of

😷🍄🌱

Repost of sometimes I draw my feelings 🫧

I finished a thing & now I can share something new ✨

I have stickers of Dinah & Mitzi, but I haven’t created one for Tater Tot. As the very vocal spokescat of the best good boy society, he deserves some art! lol I’m not completely satisfied with this, but here’s what I have so far. 🐱

I like using the llamas from as art inspiration 🦙✨ Here are a couple

I mentioned posting more of these & I kept forgetting. 😓 So here’s an in progress personal piece I’m slowly working on
