Finally finishing up the back panel of my tunnel book project. It's been in the works for a while, but the end is in sight. Join me as I (slowly) bring this fairly massive piece to life!

This might become the quirkiest and most charming creature yet, or it could end up a total failure. Time will tell!

The slow drawing process is mesmerizing and meditative. I lose myself in it, and then a little dude appears on the page. It's a serene exploration where time seems to stand still. For those who find solace in art, I hope watching this process is soothing, as it was for me.

This is your Monday reminder to quit ✨ Start a "not-to-do" list. Let your inner sloth shine. In the grand scheme of things, we are alive for a brief moment, and this is a world where penguins exist.

So I thought I would draw a spicy, flirtatious porcine character whose special costume allows him to casually flash his butt. Meet Leopold, one of my favorite Fancy Beasts.

This picture book from 1565 is the greatest singular influence on me as an artist an person.

Meet Sali, a brand new member of my gay menagerie. Sali is mercurial, but their curious and pleasure-seeking nature is bound to favorite a familiar port. Taming Sali into friendship or love may be no easy task, but it is a rewarding one!

Why draw a female-presenting ram in opulent ice skating costume? Hi, I'm Diana and I like to draw animal characters in historical costume. That's why. I figured, the world has everything, so let's add this. Enjoy meeting Penelope!

Hello world! This is Hortense, the very first Fancy Beast I ever made. She is a romantic Victorian lizard who always tells the truth, has no cynicism, and can’t find her place in the world.
