Took a break from commissions today to whip up some fun-in-the-sun exclusive art for #FurCon2026!
Artwork of a foxy fursona holding an inflatable shark floatie. She is wearing orange water-wings, blue goggles, a red swim top, and black board shorts. The text reads “With love from San Jose”, evoking a souvenir postcard, and in a handwritten font is “Wish you were here! xoxo”

Hey Bluesky! I'm raising money for Second Harvest Food Bank with holiday pet portrait commissions - thank you for helping me make a difference!
amiyakom.com/new-products...
Text: Holiday Pet Portrait Fundraiser - get a hand-drawn digital portrait of your furry family members for the season - proceeds go to Second Harvest Food Bank. Image is a charming hand-drawn evergreen wreath with a red bow, framing a placeholder critter of unknown species to indicate "Your Pet Here". Pre-designed wreath options include: Lush Winter (an evergreen wreath), Holly (holly leaves and berries on a golden ring), Cuetlaxochitl (also known as Poinsettia on a green ring), and Pine Cones (pine needles and pine cones). Text indicates that simple customizations are also available. Demonstrating that the pose of the drawing will be based on the photo provided, the artist includes the reference photo of a former pet alongside the drawn version. Image demonstrates that up to 3 pets can be placed in a single wreath, and any species or breed of pet is welcome. Green box with text includes additional details: add-on donations are greatly appreciated, artwork is for personal use only, and by completing the purchase the buyer agrees to the terms.

Artist! Quote with long hair art!

My god this is impossible to pick 😆 Here are The Sun and The Moon from The Botan Tarot! ☀️🌙
A watercolor painting of a Titaness rising through the fog over a forested mountain. Her hair is illuminated like the rays of a sunrise. A watercolor painting of a Titaness crouching over a bay beneath a starry sky. She swirls the waves with her hand, only the crescent moon in her crown reflecting in the water.

Happy #MixedAsianDay! Mixed folks have a special kind of radar, but I find that parents of mixed kids pick up on it too 😆
A mini comic in honor of Mixed Asian Day, a day for celebrating multi-cultural Asian identities (biracial, adoptees, etc), titles “The Radar”. Based on a true story, the comic opens with people out to brunch, the artist labeled on the right, while a blond woman and a baby in a high chair can be seen on the left. The artist senses something, and glances over. The baby at the next table, with a dark brown bowl cut, is staring intensely at the artist. Alternating cells of the artist smiling back at the baby and waving hello, while the baby continues to stare unwaveringly, the frame getting closer and closer. The parents notice their child’s gaze and apologize to the artist, stating that normally the child doesn’t show much interest in strangers. The artist laughs it off and credits it to The Radar, implying that the baby is able to sense that the artist is multicultural because the baby is also multicultural. The parents, now more clearly shown to be a multicultural couple, take a second to comprehend what the artist means and actually take a good look at the artist. In the last frame, realization and understanding dawns on them

I handed out my #cloudwardho stickers to anyone in a Dimension20 cosplay I could see, and got these absolutely killer ribbons from @caitmayart.com !

Thank you for a great show Rose City Comic Con 🌹 So proud to come out for a second year and always appreciate the vibes of the PNW!
The artist stands behind her table at the Oregon Convention Center, ready for Rose City Comic Con. Post-convention, the artist sits on the now empty table looking triumphant while holding the sign with her name provided by the convention. Next to her is her whole table setup packed into two large suitcases and a tote bag.

Mini game within every watercolor piece I’ve made: try to peel the masking fluid all in one go without it breaking. #watercolor

It’s a gorgeous day to stroll a farmer’s market! #watercolor

PS this original painting is for sale!

A watercolor painting of a light brown bunny wearing a witch hat, light blue scarf, and dark green cloak. They are carrying a basket with various types of produce and a loaf of bread. The scenery behind them is faint but suggests they are at a sunny farmer’s market. A close up of the watercolor painting, highlighting the details of the shopping basket: the handle of the basket is twisted reeds, in the basket are bright orange carrots, red turnips, potatoes, and a loaf of bread in white paper. The witchy bunny’s leather bag is also visible, where we can see two small glass vials and a clasp in the shape of a bunny head.

Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm Addi, I'm a watercolor artist (I also dabble in Procreate). I love painting original characters and pet portraits. I created my own tarot deck, The Botan Tarot!

While my commissions are closed at the moment, I do have a shop and full portfolio on my website!

A watercolor painting of a fierce warrior striding with a spear in his hand. He has white hair, a white fur cape, and armor with bamboo-inspired motifs. His chest plate features a snarling white dog's face. A watercolor painting of a young woman with brown hair. Askew on her head is a sparrow mask, and her cloak resembles sparrow wings. In her arms she clutches a sword and a bouquet of white chrysanthemums. A watercolor painting of 4 bully-breed dogs - pit bull, bull terrier, French bulldog, and English bulldog - all sitting together at a counter at a ramen restaurant. A purple hair witch casts a spell with a magic rice paddle, using a fancy modern rice cooker as her cauldron, and various popular Japanese ingredients and snacks swirl around her. This is the artist's original character, Nara the Witch, and Nara's familiar, Russell the Crow.

Coming soon: bookmarks! But I could use some help picking a paper type (on IG it seems fairly unanimous that rounded corners are preferred, so I think that detail is settled!).

Whew I am…not as practiced at cross-posting and remembering to share in this space 😅 #tarot
Two tarot cards from a deck called The Botan Tarot. The Sun features a woman with fiery gold hair rising above the foggy mountain tops like a sunrise. Justice features an androgynous person with a long dark braid in armor. Two close-up pink peonies fill the upper corners of the photo.

My mind horse! Those childhood years as a horse girl were for this moment (I also especially loved big buff draft horses after seeing a Clydesdale for the first time)

90s boy in a 2020s world 🍕🐭🕹️
Charlie can’t understand why Uncle Chuck gave up all this cool vintage stuff.

“Charlie Cheese” in watercolor pastel and ink will be part of the San Jose Day art exhibit at Empire 7 Studios starting April 12-May 3.
A watercolor painting with bright colors, depicting a cool modern version of the Chuck E Cheese mascot in his design from the 90s: a red and purple baseball cap with a yellow C, a red and yellow sweatshirt, jeans, and sneakers. He’s holding a melting piece of cheese pizza in one hand and a modern iPhone in the other, taking a mirror-selfie. He stands in a bedroom that looks like it’s from the 90s: an Atari poster on the wall, PlayStation and small tv, a skateboard, a rumpled sock, and the pizza box all in the background.

A short rest from adventuring with familiars 💚

Truly pleased with this commission for @maurathemicrovet.bsky.social I’ve never done such a detailed forestscape before and love how it turned out!
The artist holds up a watercolor painting of a woman in a red cloak and fantasy adventuring attire, sitting in a lush forest. Motes of light pour in through the canopy. With her are two cats, one playing with a 20-sided die and the other looking up at a magpie.

Lil gargoyle pals from the “daily-ish” pages I did last year. I’ve been pretty booked up the last month with commissions (thank you!) and haven’t had much time to work on personal art, so I really need to get back to this practice.

An old video of Boba from when we first adopted him. I spent so much money on several orthopedic beds for him and yet he preferred my thigh or stomach to rest his head 😂 It’s been over 2 yrs since his ascension - feels so much harder facing the horrors without my 100lbs house hippo

Working on commissions that I can’t share just yet, so here’s a process vid from 2 yrs ago! I like to play a game to see if I can pull the masking fluid off all in on piece ✌🏼
