Happy Holidays! I hope everyone is all cozy and full of food <3

Below is the sketch version before painting it in :)

Break Anew

Between the Stars and the Sea

My Moon and Star

I woke up a few days ago to Nova cuddling my face and Luna cuddling my feet. I couldn't move to get a photo so I'm drawing it instead to remember the moment.

These 2 photos are the closest I have to what happened. Love my little moon and star more than anything in the world <3

Happy Thanksgiving!

Under the Stairs

It's cozy season! Time to curl up with a good book and get no reading done at all 🌟

For this painting, I used Stable Diffusion to generate this background with one of my older paintings as seed reference.

Books & Nooks

It rained yesterday, which never happens at this time of the year in California. Made me feel all cozy~

And of course it's raining on the inside... where the books are...

The background for the painting was also generated in Stable Diffusion before I painted over it.

Cozy Home

Kiki and Jiji after a full day of delivering flower~ Though Jiji is straight up not having a good time
