I make webcomics & paint things! Creator of Missing Monday (http://missingmondaycomic.com). Bury me in tea, owls, and cute sharks. She/her.
Brim Hat Coco concept commission from Rose City Comic Con! The commissioner had a gorgeous cosplay of the same outfit and the tiny was painted to match it.

A batch of O.C. paintings I did at Rose City Comic Con! Three very different and very delightful vibes to capture here.

I forget to put signage up at shows because it seems obvious to me, but I'm always happy to put my spin on someone's personal creation :)

Kumoricon commission of Dedenne drinking a boba!

Posting this weekend so I can try to summon a shiny Dedenne into my Pokemon Go game...

Release from the Patreon vault: #Muppets fanart!

Muppets are an interesting challenge for me because their iconic bobble eyes don't always translate easily into my little dot eyed style. I had a few character attempts that did NOT work but I love how these pairs turned out.

At Rose City my duo of cowboys & dinosaurs sold and I ended up being commissioned to do one more and make it a trio. I chose to add a stegosaurus because he's a classic ;)

I love his little stompy feet and I am frankly impressed that his rider has not been bucked yet!

More experiments with flowers!

I took several unrelated flowers photos and sketched them ontop of each other until the shapes made me happy, then inked and colored from there.

A genuinely delightful Rose City commission: cat portraits but styled onto highly detailed period outfits.

I've never done this kind of thing before but I have to ask myself why the heck not, this was right in my wheelhouse :3

Froslass commission from Rose City!

I love getting to paint people's favorite Pokemon for them, especially when they're not one that gets featured much in official merch.

Turkey Vulture for last month's #birdwhisperer :)

I love a turkey vulture. When I think of them, I think of a giant shadow across sun cracked grass, so seeing one peaceful and relaxed on a branch was a fun experience.

Froggy with a tamborine!

Is he in the same band as the fluffy white cat or has he struck out as a solo project I wonder?

More skelly girls!

I needed one more skeleton to finish up a postcard pack I was working on, so I painted the little jogger skeleton. Buuuuut then I was in the skeleton mood so I painted the artist too :3

I need to paint some fresh fanart of these three, but here's a cutie from September that still makes me smile :3

Two little sharks in love!

I started with the green shark offering the rose to their sweetheart, then decided what the heck let's add the sweetheart

Catober 30 & 31

A witch with a crystal ball for "crystal" and some trick or treaters for "Halloween".

I might revisit that witch later, she turned out extra cute

Hope to see some of you there :D

Catober Day 25 & 26

Catober lives! Been a little swamped this week but finding time to get back to drawing my little cats.

Day 25 is siblings fighting over a private journal, day 26 is a slumber party watching something spooky.

A teeny painting of the Bone dog from "Nettle and Bone" by T. Kingfisher. His anatomy is looking a little uh, a little off, but I feel like that only enhances the book accuracy of him

I'm a day or so behind on Catober so in the meantime please enjoy this cat with a tamborine from my unposted art archive.

He was originally created to go with the circus animals I posted a bit ago but he didn't quite match, so he's off doing his own thing

And now for something completely different: flowers!

I wanted to paint some of the lovely florals I was seeing around me in Portland last spring, but laying them out in an abstract shape all together like a collage.

A flower child hanging out in a field of flowers for "flower" and a cheeky pin-up for "tattoo"
