TeePublic
tee.pub/lic/lunarfox
TeePublic Logo a. Cold Weather Pup Tote (mislabled on graphic, it's actually "Sweater Weather Pup) The only thing cuter than a dachshund, is a dachshund in a cable knit sweater. b. Kitty Kitty Toddler T Ok, so maybe your bestie's toddler doesn't have refined tastes yet, but this is how we build them folks. c. Rainy Day Friends Mug I drew this for one of my nieces, but it was so cute I had to put it in the shop. Perfect for every bunny lover. d. Fox Girl Magnet (also mislabled, shown is a sticker, the magnet is round) Another girl with a fox? Yeah. This isn't even the only other one. I had a serious girl & her fox phase a couple years ago. e. Ginger Cat Socks There are people who love all cats and there are people who specifically love a huge ginger cat - and 50% of them are authors. There's a big ginger cat in SO many books that I couldn't consign this guy to just one. He's wandering through multiple series, capturing hearts and mice.

Red Bubble Logo a. Kitty Kitty Tall Mug Designed for all my cat loving friends b. Robins Backpack American Robins are... fine. But European Robins make you realize why so many Brits wrote books with good, helpful robins in them. They're adorable! c. Pup Car Zippered Pouch Same cute car, but on a handy zippered pouch. D. Fox & Flowers Journal For the friend who dreams of having a pet fox. Real foxes are smelly and destructive, but this fox will always be sweet and cuddly. E. Tiny Bun Throw Blanket What's cozier than a fluffy bunny on a fuzzy blanket?

Right here on ko-fi, I've got my two best sellers.
They're extra fun because this is art immitating life.
I saw this car full of cute pups rolling through my neighborhood one evening.

Redbubble has the most unique offerings.
a. Dorothy & Toto Natural Tote For your Wizard of Oz fan who may or may not be slightly irked by the popularity of Wicked and it's retelling b. Rapunzel’s Garden Pouch For the classic fairy-tale lover who enjoys a slight re-imagining of the traditional story imagery c. Book Faramir Would Never T If you know a fan of the Lord of the Rings books, you know someone who still writhes a bit when they think of Peter Jackson's treatment of Faramir. d. Drink Me Socks For anyone who loves Alice in Wonderland and flashy socks e. White Rabbit Toddler Hoodie For pint-sized Wonderland lovers f. Anne Waits Coasters There's lots of fan-art for L.M. Montgomery's classic, Anne of Green Gables, but is it on a coaster set?

Tee Public is maybe the most affordable of the lot - but be sure and check those t-shirt measurements. The sizing is... not reflective of reality.
a. Bloom As If You Mean It Kids T Anne Shirley says the flowering tree "blooms as if it meant it" and that seems like good advice for all of us. As a bonus, it seems that Lucy Maude Montgomery took both this line and the name of the gernium from her own journals - knowledge which will give any Anne of Green Gables fan the thrilliest thrill. b. Not in Kansas Anymore Magnet Whether you're gifting to someone who loves the Wizard of Oz in book or movie form - this little magnet is a great stocking stuffer or gift topper. c. Punky Power Pin Ok, maybe there isn't a fandom around Punky Brewster, but your elder millenial friends and relations will be charmed by this tiny hit of nostalgia. d. Oh Lizzie! Mug My personal favorite Pride & Predjudice adaptation is the 1995 BBC version. This mug hosts an illustration of Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth Bennet along with Mrs. Bennet's constant refrain. Will no one have compassion on her poor nerves? e. The Frog Princess Tote For that person who loves the original fairytale over the Disney version (which is charming, but it's own thing). f. Rapunzel’s Garden Pillow Perfect for your fairytale loving friends and family to put in their own rooms and brighten things up.

Let's start off with my @ko-fi.com shop offerings!

Cute, unique, and the way you support me most, if supporting small artists is a bonus in your gift buying endevors.
a. Kraken Sticker Whether you're shopping for a D&D player or someone who loves classic monsters, this cute Kraken is sure to make them smile. b. Red Riding Hood Keychain For the one who loves classic folktales or Red Riding Hood specifically - this keychain makes a great gift topper c. Basilisk Sticker Another mythological creature to love. The King of Snakes wears the crown and is a great gift for your gaming party, adventure loving kids, or lore lovers in general. d. Nancy Drew Sticker Need a great gift? Our favorite girl detective is on the case! e. Alice in Wonderland Print Another option for fans of Lewis Carrol's classic, Alice in Wonderland. This print pictures Alice glancing back at you with a key and a bottle marked "drink me" in her pocket.

A gift guide for super-fans - as long as they're fans of what I'm a fan of, which I guess is a little specific.

It's snowy outside and I hate that. But if it has to snow I should be curled up with a book and a hot chocolate, not designing ads for a pawn shop 😂

I love stars as a design element. I especially love kinda like mid-mod vintage stars.

Saw some jack-o-lanterns using stars as the carve out and I KNOW I'm not going to get around to carving a pumpkin, so I'm absolutely incorporating the design into an illustration.
A nightime illustration with foggy background. A cute girl stands on a path lit with jack-o-lanters with star cut-outs instead of faces. The girl has white hair, a cute black outfit, and is holding a orangy yellow tote-bag with a white cat peeking out of the top. There are two pins on the bag. One is a pumpkin, the other has the letters "AI" crossed out on it.

Agatha Christie is a favorite author & one of Agatha's favorite tropes is the poisoned chocolate box.

(The Chocolate Box, Peril at End House, They Do It With Mirrors, Bertram's Hotel)

It's, almost always, a double blind. But the girl in my illo had better hope there's a clever sleuth on hand.
Illustration of a 1940s styled girl about to pop a cream filled chocolate in her mouth. In the foreground a hald eated box of chocolates with a few spread across the table. One is oozing a red filling that has pooled into the shape of a skull.

Just watched the second episode of "The Last of Us" with my husband.

And... now I'm going to rinse my brain out with "Help I Wrecked My House" while I work on my Fright-Fall drawings

Either Bridget Conway or Sophia Leonides.

I can't remember if the scene with the love-struck young man, newly returned from the war and in love with a clever young lady whose hair gets caught up by the wind is in "Murder is Easy" or "Crooked House"

Comment if you know which it is!
A young lady in a 1940s blue blouse and matching shoes, with a bright red circle skirt. There's a black cat twining itself between her legs and the wind hase pulled her hair out of it's ribbon and is lifting it up into the air

I know everything's falling apart around us, but have you thought about what you're giving your loved ones for Christmas?

A blatant ad for Custom Portraits. Below the headline is an illustration of a young lady (my niece) with green & teal hair, looking delighted because I drew this in 2022. Under the portrait, the ad urges viewers to order now to ensure Christmas delivery. Suggesting that I am either incredibly booked, incredibly slow, or possibly that I made this in November of 2022 and don't have a version of this graphic that does not reference Christmas. In a green triangle, at the bottom, it suggests you DM for pricing.

It's been a while since I read the original Rapunzel, but in this version I imagine that the witch has spirited her far away from her home, to a dreary land where it rains and mists all the time (England or the PNW? You decide.) But the birds befriend her and bring flowers to brighten her room.
An illustration of Rapunzel in her tower. In this version, Rapunzel is Indian and her flowing hair has little leaves entwines in it. A blue bird is flying to her, bringing her more leaves. Her room is filled with flowers and there is another bluebird sitting on some white flowers in the foreground.

On to Murder is Easy. Opening with a totally disconnected dream sequence and unending Luke's back story is not a promising start.

But the casting of Miss Pinkerton is perfection.
