A cartoon depiction of a woman with her hair pulled half back by a purple bow. Her eyes and mouth are exaggeratedly big, emphasizing her gleeful expression. She has gold earrings in the shape of stars and is also drawn to have stars in her eyes. The image is a looping gif showing the woman's arms moving back and forth in excitement. On one hand she wears an artist's drawing glove and holds a graphics tablet stylus pen.

In China there is a legend that if a carp is strong enough to swim upstream against strong currents, it can become a dragon. This lore is connected to the traditional Boy's Day festival in Japan.

For October I challenged myself to complete a short film from start to finish in 60 days or less. I’m happy to share that Main Street Magic is the outcome of that challenge! If you like creepy cute things, spooky szn, cats, and magic, please give this film a watch 🪄💜 #animation

A quick study I did for the exterior of one of my character's homes. The story is set in central Appalachia/eastern Kentucky, and I drew inspiration from photos I took of some homes in the area. #digitalart #conceptsketch
Monochrome digital sketch created in hues of purple. The sketch depicts a trailer home at the end of a gravel and dirt path. The garden bed is overgrown. The trailer is surrounded by trees and bushes, nestled at the edge of a forest.

There are no rules in this no man’s land between Christmas & New Years.

Read all night! Don’t finish a book! Read three books at once!

Just go nuts.

my mom sent me this article earlier today— probably on account of how many videos I have made her watch of foxes doing this repeatedly 🦊❄️
npr.org NPR @npr.org · Dec 27
Research explains how foxes hunting mice can plunge down into the snow at high speeds without injuring their poor little snouts.

A quick sketch I threw together in around 30 minutes. I always try to suggest elements of narrative with these exercises while also keeping things open-ended. What does your mind jump to when you see this character?

#characterdesign #sketch #digitalart
A cartoon sketch of a girl with light brown skin and long dark brown hair wearing a casual outfit of a crop top and biker shorts with converse-style sneakers. She wears large-rimmed circular glasses and her hair is pulled back in a loose ponytail that cascades down her back. The sketches show her in two different poses. In both she holds out a single red rose and looks at it with a mixed expression, as if unsure about something. The first sketch is a full-body drawing showing the character in profile, mid-step. The second sketch shows the girl from the knee up, holding the rose out and above her head. The image is largely monochromatic browns, with pops of red and green seen in the rose, her hair tie, and her blush.
