Sorry about the gritty instagram photos!

The opening reception is on Friday, October 11 from 6pm to 7:30pm. Stop by to say hello, see my art in real life, and enjoy a yummy cup of coffee! Hope to see you there n_n

Cute Things in Progress





This weekend I'm in another faire so I'm busy preparing and stressing out. Have I told you yet that I found out my printer uses dye based inks so I can print on fabric?!!??! I was so very skeptical at first, but it worked! What joy! I managed to finish some coin purses and pencil pouches featuring some little illustrations I did, one of them being the narwhal above. Once I finish editing the photos I will list them in my Etsy shop. I also did a little upgrade to my cat ornaments and made them all spacey and stuff in Photoshop, so I'll be working to finish them before Saturday. They take about an hour each to sew by hand, which means a Miyazaki movie marathon and audio book listening (Stephen King's Nightmares & Dreamscapes). And finally, I'm making some small original, hexagon paintings to be made into necklaces. I just need to poor resin over them for protection and I'm done! Any that don't sell at the faire will for sure be listed in my Etsy shoppy shop. 

I added a "Upcoming Shows & Events" thingy to the left on my blog so you know what's coming.

For the people helping with the damages of the rain storm here in Colorado, thank you and stay safe!

Surprise!

Surprise! | 8"x10" | Watercolor & Ink | Stonehenge Paper





BFF's for realz.

I'm happy with how this painting turned out, but I wish I kept it simpler in the end. I just really wanted to paint some sunflowers since they are EVERYWHERE in Colorado. 

Prints are available here!

Cover Your Head

Cover Your Head | 8"x11" | Gouache, Watercolor, & Ink | Stonehenge Paper




One of my latest paintings, "Cover Your Head."  The above sketch was hanging out in my moleskine for a while because I was happy with it just being a sketch. The ideas for a final piece didn't emerge until a couple of months ago, and even then I was still nervous that I would somehow ruin the sweet effect of the simple sketch, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! The text reads, "cover your head & wait for it to pass."

Prints available in my shop!
