So this is the other thing I’ve been up to lately is helping Sandra to design her Pennsic War t-shirt for this year. The event was, of course, cancelled but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a t-shirt!
Sandra did the line art on the main image and I colored it in Procreate. I did the layout in Photoshop under Sandra...

Here it is, the scanned piece alongside the original. I double matted it and added a real boulder opal cab to the bear's forehead, and small Swarovski crystal to the wolf's head. The original looks so cute! Perfect for a little spot on the wall.
The original and prints are now available in my Etsy store
Here is the scan of the commission for Raechel B. So happy to finally have this finished for her!
Watercolor and colored pencil on 9 X 12 smooth Bristol paper.
Here is the finished commission for Grym and Kamots, just in time for their 20th Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary you guys! I am so glad you have both been such long time fans and repeat customers <3

Hello everyone!
I know this is a bit late, but with everything that has been going on—the pandemic, the riots, Sandra’s hysterectomy, life in general—I have been struggling to keep up with everything while trying to maintain an even keel. Like many artists I am struggling, but I am managing to detach as needed to ...

Each state's laws are different, so this will apply to some patrons and not others. I believe Patreon will email those that are effected by the new laws. Considering all of the new interstate tax laws ...

Hello everyone!
I am just checking in with you all to give you a general life update as I've been sort of quiet here the last few weeks.
For those that don't know, at the end of April my soul sister/roommate/business partner Sandra had a hysterectomy, and has been healing well so far. My May has been spent helping...

Hello everyone!
I know things have been quiet this month. I've been helping Sandra to recover from her surgery at the end of April, taking care of my online business, doing some household chores, running errands, and hiking a bit. I've been trying to get my mojo back up to get some art done, but like a lot of artists I am ...

This is the batch of ACEOs I took back in 2017. I am endeavoring to get them finished during quarantine, so I worked on getting them watercolored today.
