On this day I bring to your gentle hands a small rock chosen by The Things That Will Be, they do not know what it means - only that it is yours.

Illustration of "The Things That Will Be" from The WibbleVerse - small creatures that look like a sentient scribble washing pebbles in a small woodland river. The Things That Will Be are various sizes, some small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, others the size of trees.

Realised I never posted this:
Please enjoy the additions of some silly little guys in photos submitted on my discord.
I had a lot of fun thinking up scenarios for each of them, and if you'd like to see any of them in more detail they're on my website~

A small collage of photos which have had small frogs drawn over them.

It's almost that time of year again 😳 I can't believe it's been nearly 5. This time round I'll be drawing some little froggy adventures as a continuation of these:

This image features a collage of pictures. Each picture has had a drawing of a frog added to them in silly ways.

Recently I was going back through old art and I found this silly little sketch. Truly my magnum opus.

This is an image of a poorly drawn digital sketch of a badger.

please enjoy the rare sight of me remembering to post the monthly frog doodles from stream.

tag yourself - I think I'm the lil moncher in the top left

This image shows a variety of illustrated frogs. In the top left there is a demon frog with horns and spiky teeth. In the bottom left is an angry tadpole with a moustache floating in a bubble of water. In the middle there is a flame frog, that is reminiscent of Calcifer. Below the flame frog is a small round frog with big eyes. n the Top right there is a hat with a very small frog living inside it. Finally there is a bottle of hot sauce with a frog on the label and text that reads: "Hot like deadly spicy, hot as fire sauce you regret"

I was lucky enough to visit the Isle of May recently, and got to see puffins! They are truly the most adorable little goofballs

This is a stylised sketch of a puffin sitting on some water with two big fish in their beak. The puffin is looking straight on with a slightly tilted head. The colours are warm and cosy.

It's been warming up here and it's been making me nostalgic for summers as a kid picking strawberries with my family so I thought I'd draw something inspired by it 🍓🐸

This is a pair of digital illustrations with cosy, nostalgic colours and thin line work. The first illustration features a young witch with blue hair picking strawberries. The witch has a small frog sitting with her, and in the background there is a black bird sitting on a shovel. The second illustration depicts a close up of a Garden Tiger Moth sitting on a strawberry.

I just wanted to share a huge thank you to everyone that popped by stream to support and donate today! We raised an amazing $814 for #GFG2025 in just over 4 hours and I truly cannot begin to thank everyone enough 🐸Our frog jar truly runneth over

An illustration of a jar and bottle filled with frogs. There are all sizes, shapes and colours of frogs, some of them happy, others less impressed. The art uses warm colours and has a light texture to it.

"Upon a desk, so small and neat, a tiny pot, a warm retreat.
Water swirls, so calm and sweet, the frog enjoys its' steamy seat.
A tea light flickers down below, a subtle warmth, a peaceful glow. No boiling fate, a gentle heat, a rubber duck, a friend to meet." ~ @qu2s.bsky.social

This is an illustration of a small frog and a rubber duck taking a bath in a kitchen pot with a towel hung over the handle. The pot sits on a small raised table, with a tea light candle underneath to warm the water.

Quite the throw back here, I wonder how many of you remember me working on this little robot? We named him Watson if I'm remembering right 💡

This is a digital illustration of a robot holding a goose. The robot is pieced together with miss-matched parts and it's face is a light bulb. Inside the body of the robot is a nest with some eggs in it. Around the robot there are flowers and leaves.

I've been toying around with a sketchy-journal adjacent style for some more Prim and Theodore content. Here they are collecting Apploranges.

#art #comic idk how hashtags work here am I doing this right?

This is a stylised two panel comic. The comic uses warm colours and has a loose, sketchy energy. The first panel pictures a small frog wearing a crown, standing on a tree branch and cutting down a round red/orange fruit. In the second panel a girl with pale blue-green hair is standing at the base of the tree, catching the apples in her apron.

This is a stylised illustration of the round fruit from the comic. Next to the fruit is a large horned beetle and slightly in front is a browning leaf.

May I introduce to you: Death from my "wibbley" world of witches and magic, accompanied by some little Fae.

I haven't quite landed on a name for these Fae yet but current working titles include: wibbles, bibbles, wobbles, zobbles, goobies, yoolies and/or wols.

This is an stylised digital illustration of Death from Zevy's current world building project. It shows a feathery creature, wearing an owl faced mask with twisting branch like antlers. Beady eyes peer out from behind the mask at the viewer. There are three small Fae creatures with bunny like ears and long tails climbing on Death. The background is a simple gradient and the illustration uses warm muted colours.

Another throw back.
Life is overwhelming recently. Take a moment, if you like, to shelter under a leaf with a snail.
You're doing the best you can and that is enough.

This is a stylized, digital illustration featuring a variety of small animals waiting at a bus stop in the rain. There are two ducks, five frogs, a snail, a mouse, and a lady bird. They are using leaves and flowers as umbrellas.

This is a stylized, digital illustration of a snail with a leaf on the back of it's shell. A smaller snail peaks out from underneath the leaf.

I've been getting told off in streams for leaving so much of my art unposted, so for the next little while I'll be sharing some older stuff from the archives

this one was originally for a print club I ran a couple years back during my robot/broken machinery phase

This is a stylised illustration showing a variety of small animals sheltering in a pile of broken computers and boxes next to a small trash can. A small, round, flying robot is lifting the lid of the trash can to reveal a family of opossums inside.

I've really enjoyed spending a little time over the new year working on personal projects so here's a lil sneak peak at projects to come 🧙🐸

This picture is an illustration of a night market. To the right of the image in the foreground a small frog wearing a crown stands on the edge of a stall selling potions and appears to be haggling with the stall owner. Slightly behind and to the left of the frog is a woman with blue hair, wearing dark clothing and a witch hat, carrying a basket.
In the back ground of the image are a variety of other shoppers. Candles and lights float above their heads illuminating the shopping floor. The image is made up of warm tones and a limited range of colours.

Happy new year from me and the frog stack ♡

May all your jars be filled with frogs ˖⁺‧₊˚✦

This is a digital artwork of a pond at night time. There are lilly pads and reeds in the water. There is a small rock with 4 frogs sitting on it, stacked on top of each other. One of the frogs is wearing a crown. Behind the frogs is a large moon rising on the horizon. In the sky there is a shooting star.

Recently my mum came to visit me and bought a little mouse toy because it reminded her of my childhood.

Since then she has been sending me pictures of "Wee Mousie" out on adventures. My heart melts. Please enjoy a couple of my favourites 🐭

so i've been thinking about The Hog a normal amount. @themerl.bsky.social

This is a poorly drawn illustration of a rectangular pig. The background of the image is cream, the pig is brown and is standing on yellow hay. Above the pig is text which reads: "Don't let your dreams be dreams. Become rectangle. Embrace the hog."
