Saw us at @3riverscomicon? You might remember the tea-stained piece Sara started—“Hurry, the Time is Passing.”
It’s almost done! She sketched, I inked. We’ll share the final soon.
Headed to Heroes Con in Charlotte this weekend? Come say hi!

The joys of prepping for an event…
Just got these prints in the mail—bent and unusable. Always a risk with shipping, but thankfully the rest arrived in good shape and are ready to go. Onward we go!

Sara’s latest small inked piece features a tiny frog resting on a mushroom, with a touch of gold leaf for a sunlit glow on tea-stained paper. What adventures might this little observer be dreaming of?

Sara has been working hard on writing a story based on this chalk art piece that we did at a comic con back in 2012. It’s titled City in Ruins and we will slowly reveal more about it as time goes on so stay tuned.

“Silent Encounter” by Dusty Catlett. Ink on 11x14” toned paper, with colored ink like watercolors. A lone warrior pauses in an ancient forest, danger creeping above. Strength and courage are about to be tested. What happens next? What story do you see? #dragon #knight #FantasyArt #InkArt #art

In 2018, we applied last minute to the Highland County Maple Festival in Highland County VA just two months before the event and were thrilled to be accepted. During the festival, we created the #softpastel #chalkart piece you see here, titled “Highland.”
