Here is the inspiration for this year's illustration based on one done back in 2019. Maybe it's a prequel before they met? It's always fun to see how much my style has changed over the years!

Every spooky season I try to find time to draw my little witch kitty. Last year I only sketched this on my iPad but ran out of time, so I finished it for this year! I still need to come up with a name for this character.

A fake soap packaging design I made for the Make Art That Sells Lettering Bootcamp course. I absolutely love peonies! I even made a repeat pattern of the flowers for fun.

Made this mixed media drawing of a cactus as a gift for my highschool art teacher. I based the image on a photo I took earlier this year from my vacation to Joshua Tree. I always enjoy drawing plants.🌵💖

Little gaming monster buddies from the book 'Push Restart' written by Mary De Merle Schams. A book about managing big emotions with a video game theme.

Who's excited for the new Nintendo Switch 2?! Jim and I were having a blast playing the new Mario Kart last night. 🎮❤️

Happy Halloween!! 🎃

Repost of an illustration I made a couple years ago. I did start a new illustration of my little witch kitty but wasn't able to finish in time. Maybe next year I'll finally get it done. 😆

Garrett is a little unsure what he should write for this assignment!

This is part of an illustration from the book "Get Out Your Paper" written by Renee Hayes.

I still have more art to share from this book but haven't had much time to sit down and prep them for posting.😅

I finally had some time to test out the Ohuhu markers I got for my birthday. The whole summer I've been super busy between family events, kids being off school, and working on 2 book projects. I'm hoping things will slow down a bit now so I can fit in some personal art here and there again.

If you see this, post something pink! 🌺

I still really enjoy this illustration from a couple years ago.
