Out at Nam Dae Mun and there was a rad woman in leopard print dancing to the store music through the produce aisle. We crossed paths by the onions where she leaned in to me and confided "Girl, anything that makes you live a long time, they shoot the prices waaay up!"

She is my grocery store hero.

It's chilly and windy today, so it seems like a good day to cozy up by the fire with some tea and a friend.

It's romance time!

You too can romance with a digital download of this screaming chocolate possum as a valentine card, a print, or just a screaming chocolate possum to put on things: www.carmandaartsthings.com/shop/p/choco...

Slowly filling out my feed with my older illustrations previously posted to the bluebird lands before the scourge.

The barn owl serves as a guide for spirits on their crossing, and occasionally is David Bowie probably.

2023 was a wild year of big changes and exciting developments. I'm hoping to go into 2024 with the lessons I've learned and continue making strides toward the life I wish to live. "Courage" is my focus for the next year.
Wish you all the best! Happy New Year!

For the tea and cat lovers out there, the first two in an ongoing series of little tea cats: Earl Grey and its evolution, London Fog. These were a lot of fun to draw (I'm a sucker for illustrating food), and I'm looking forward to expanding the series further.

An arctic fox thanks their polar bear friend for all the discarded seal leftovers with a treat of hot chocolate and ginger snaps. Tis the season for symbiotic relationships after all.

Digital illustration, done in Photoshop. I'll start slowly porting my art over here as I remember.
