Hi, I'm Katu! I'm a disabled artist who runs a shop: Witchbriar Cottage. I love coffee, nature, video games, & witchy stuff.

In my little studio I handmake stickers, prints, keychains, earrings, bookmarks, & 3D models & more!

I hate character limits!

Did you have a phase where you deeply mourned the loss of the Library of Alexandria, crying over the massive destructions of culture and knowledge that can never be recovered and is lost to the ether for all eternity, or are you normal?

Random life update! I survived June, somehow!! I have finally almost finished organizing my room/office, and I've started playing with vinyl to make custom notebooks! I know life is a hellscape atm, so I hope this little post offers a brief reprieve. Would love to know what you have been up to!!

Market prep is a constant thing! I was working until 9 last night getting these babies ready for the Farmer's Market today!

I'm learning how to use heat transfer vinyl! You wouldn't think it'd be a hard lesson, but I have definitely made a few mistakes already (most of them are having too many small details in my designs).

But here are my first 3 projects, in reverse order! Tote bag, tank top, sketch book ✨ #craftywitch

Now that I finally have space to work, I've been doing more crafty crafts! I made these little witchy skull bottle terrariums with artificial colored moss and 3D printed skulls + crystals. I also designed the 3D model - I'm pretty proud of how it turned out! What other skulls should I do? 💀👀

I made some Procreate brushes for an art nouveau style piece I did, and I wanted to share them here!
An Alphonse Mucha inspired, art nouveau styled digital art piece featuring a Rubenesque fallow-deer girl with large antlers, flowing purple-and-auburn hair, and a drapery blue dress. She is surrounded by ornate frames with peonies and leaves decorating them. The text reads: "Art Nouveau Brushes: a few Procreate brushes by Katu." It includes two links: "ko-fi.com/katu" and "witchbriar.com". An art nouveau frame surrounds some examples of procreate brush textures. The text reads: "Textured paint brush. Hatching brush (tilt canvas to angle). Burnt edges liner." It includes two links: "ko-fi.com/katu" and "witchbriar.com". This image features two close-ups of the cover image in screenshots taken directly from procreate. The example on the left shows the liner in better detail, and the example on the right shows more of the hatching brush. The text reads "Natural-looking lineart. Subtle textures and imperfections. Uniform parallel line hatching that won't give you carpal tunnel." It includes two links: "ko-fi.com/katu" and "witchbriar.com". Another illustrative example of the brush textures, this time in the form of a decorative whorl. The text reads: "Three high quality handmade brushes for Procreate, plus a random pencil brush that I don't have examples of!" It includes two links: "ko-fi.com/katu" and "witchbriar.com".

So normally it’s @its_me_cas_drawing doing the Furbies and me doing the Tamagotchi…but with our powers combined, we can create something greater than the sum of its parts: Furbitchi.

I just think it’s neat. #90snostalgia

Finally done! I wanted to do my own non-AI starter pack because I am a sheeple. It was surprisingly hard to think of things that I like that a) makes me unique and b) I wanted to draw. But I think it turned out okay! #starterpacknoai

A bottle of ghosts. I drew this for a sticker sheet, but honestly it’s one of my favorite things I’ve ever done, so I expanded on it ✨ #cuteillustration

Hi! So life has been A Thing, and I have found myself in a situation where my finances are... somewhat dire. To that end, I'm running a sale! For the next week (at least), all purchases of $10+ qualify for 25% off with code EMERGENCYSALE. But everything is appreciated <3

Hey friends, I have been absent a while. Things have been extremely stressful IRL, & although I've been making a ton of art and doing lots of behind-the-scenes stuff, I haven't had the spoons to keep up with social media, like, at all. But here's a sneak preview of some upcoming stuff! #smallartists

Please be proud of me, I FINALLY got my new clear stickers and keychains photographed and listed! We've got cute lilac cats, strawberry mousies, some snails & frogs, plus unicorns and, uh, a bookshelf. One of these things is not like the others. #supportsmallbusiness

This morning I woke up abruptly from a dream where I saw this image, and knew I had to draw it. I’m talking about going from full-ass asleep to grabbing my iPad in .2 seconds. Think of it as a gift from my subconscious to all of us. #mudbrain

Someone please tell me why I woke up at 6am and then spent over 30 minutes creating this #AnimalCrossing rap battle.

Anyway, what’s the next verse? Will Barold ever recover?

Finished my tiny table dragon scene! Took 12.5 hours in Procreate, plus I made a colorable version - all my coloring sheets are available on my ko-fi. 🥰 #coloringsheet
A tiny golden dragon snoozes cozily on a messy table, strewn with parchment, knick-knacks, and a little snack of cookies and tea! Lighting is dim and soft, with shadows helping to highlight the glowing moon on the dragon's forehead. The overall vibe is comfy dark academia or fantasy.
