My friend asked me to make his DnD group into a band on their own concert poster, and gave me free range to make them into glam rock himbos.
The song titles are all from inside jokes during the campaign.

Lupine flowers and swallowtail butterflies!
The light purple spray paint is irking me. It's scratching my brain in a way I don't like. It's... just not my color.
But on real lupines, the purple and blue together are a delicious treat for my eyes and mind.

Datura and a hawk moth!
Fun fact: Datura is a poisonous hallucinogen, but in the way that you see god before your kidneys and stomach parachute out of your body.
But so pretty!
Don't eat it!

These are lil guys, around 5"x5" to 12"x16", usually mixed media. They make great, easily shipped holiday gifts, and even better ways to treat yourself and your pets. $25-60.

Working at the Desert Pulse exhibit opening this weekend at the Desert Botanical Garden was fascinating. All the guests who stopped by my table had braved the occasional flooding, literally rain or shine!
I illustrated lots of all-ages prompts for capturing the experiences of being at the gardens.
