A tiny Geneviève Marie-Françoise de Bourbon-Penthièvre painted last summer for docholligay. I still adore her little face and her hand pose (why yes I did reference fencing stances for this 🤣 ).

Some itty bitty paintings of little garbage friends having a chill day at the pool. A pigeon all prepared for his time in the sun, a racoon relaxing in his pool floaty, and a rat about to get his drink on.

After painting that motivational whale shark commission I got inspired to paint a few more motivational sharks that could remind me of things that might need reminding from time to time.

I painted this last year and it feels more relevant every day, tbh

Galah Cockatoo for #Birbfest2026. Oh gosh these guys are colorful and cute!

I found an ink brush that I really like and I think you can tell - the lines on this guy are so bubbly and energertic, the fun I had drawing carries through the art.

Last art from my Nutcracker kick last month! Michiru and Haruka as Clara and the Nutcracker. I just really like a princess/loyal knight vibes for these two, what can I say.

After painting a bunch of little dancers and then Clara I of course had to do the mouse king and the eponymous nutcracker.

Their dueling poses are so dynamic, I had a LOT of fun sketching these out :)

More ballerina cookies! Once I painted the pair for patreon I thought it might be fun to keep going and do a few more :)

The cookie on the left is another nutcracker posed background dancer but the cookie on the right is specifically meant to be Clara

Commission from Kumoricon of two very good shiba inu. They're a very expressive dog breed so I had fun exaggerating their little faces :)

Commission of an INCREDIBLE cosplay I had the pleasure of seeing at Rose City Comic Con last year: Nurse Chappell Roan. Star Trek and singer mashup, we love it :)

The costume was so spangly and fun that I went in a cute vintage pin-up direction to show it off.

The wren is the king of birds, small but with a very loud song.

Jester!

I figure while I'm playing around with digital coloring I should treat myself to some #MightyNein fanart :3 We've been loving the animated series so much.

Week 3 of #Birbfest2026: the Short Eared Owl

I found some truly ridiculous references of this bird, but I settled on this one because his feathers looked perfectly fluffy and I knew I'd have fun with it.

Digital painting is getting more fun the more of these I do :)

Little ballerina cookies inspired by the Nutcracker ballet for members of my tiny painting club :)

I was feeling real inspired to do something ballet themed but abstract, like the skeleton ballerinas, and gingerbread cookies dancing seemed like a natural fit

Hi to new folks who are finding me because of recent webcomics events 👋

This is me and what I do. I worked on Erstwhile (completed) and Missing Monday (completed, offline because I need to build a new home for it post-HW) and I paint a lot while I brainstorm my next project.

Welcome :)

Released from the Patreon vault: Party Eels

My favorite eels are garden eels - I love seeing a whole flock of them just vibing in an aquarium tank like colorful little pencils floating in the water.

Guess what game still lives in my head rent free?

Hinako and Hinako Shimizu from #SilentHillf. I've been itching to paint these two together as a companion piece to Hinako asleep in the red muck by herself.
