Happy #NationalCandyCornDay!

Candy corn reminds me of Halloween, so I re-imagined it as a Halloween cat!

I think this would make a great spooky season puzzle. What do you think?

Happy #NationalCatDay!

I think the middle part of this cat image would make a fun round puzzle! Or the whole image could be a page in a board book about Halloween.

#cats #witches #witchcat #nightsky #moon #stars #kidlitart #kidlit
orange striped cat with green eyes and a purple heart nose, wearing witch hat with a green stripe, rides on a broom in the night sky and looks up at the slice of yellow moon and yellow stars. sky behind cat is in a dark blue circle of sky, with slightly lighter blue around it filling up the sky in a square image.

And it obscures and distracts from all the other horrible things. This timeline sucks. Oh wait, I have a mood sticker for that! (I have one for everything these days, LOL.)
Hand holding glittery die-cut sticker, with a grey cat in the middle of flames.

My cat comes with fire instead of a crown. 😉
Angry looking light blue square shaped cat, with a white stripe in the middle, from forehead to belly. There’s a towering flame coming out of the top of the head, and a small flame on the tip of the tail. Red outline and shadow around the whole image, indicating the sticker line.

We protested in the pouring rain, with lots of honks & cheers from people driving by. It cleared up a bit at the end & I gave out no kings cat stickers.) There are people in front of me, & if you look behind me, you can see Where the next group starts.)
White woman with a pink sun hat holding a big sign “No Kings” in a speech bubble said by a black cat at the bottom of the sign. Umbrellas on ground behind her, and cars driving by in the background

Purple flowers. Purple cat. Purple painting to brighten up your day!

I'd love to license this art for a puzzle! I think it would be fun to put together the flowers and find the hidden cat. What do you think?

purple flowers in multiple hues of purple, with a light bluish-purple cat with a heart shaped nose peeking out from behind the flowers in the upper middle of the painting

Words don't do justice to the horrors and constant cruelty, but sometimes writing things out and sharing them helps.
This is an unused sign idea (too many words). Thought it might work as a comic on social media.

#DueProcessMatters #BringThemBack
Image Description: dark blue text and line art. Text top 2/3: "PEOPLE don't DiSSAPEAR like SiGNAL CHATS you BRiNG THEM BACK!" Bottom: Cat on left says, "It's NOT Magic" Stick figure head with hair, big eyes, and a magic wand says, "Abra-CRUEL-Dabra!"

Happy #KidlitArtPostcard Day! One of my styles is flat color with black outlines because I love to draw & doodle (in paint and/or pixels). Looking for projects for the young readers or art makers like board bks, picture bks, puzzles, & coloring bks.

I've made a lot of art the last 100 days or so. Haven't shared much of it yet. Here's one for yesterday. It's like a 100 Day Art Project, but not as fun and it's not over yet.

#cats #comics #catart #100Days
Dark blue line drawing with text on top, "100 DAYS OF CATASTROPHE" (with CAT in bigger letters), and two cats with speech bubbles on the bottom. Left, short fur with spots and stripes, "This Sequel is the WORST!" Right, long fluffy with stripes, "What do you mean it's NOT over yet?"

A kitty painting from February that I haven't posted yet. Thought it would be perfect for #colour_collective #CCDandelion, except they're sunflowers. Was thinking about Ukraine when I painted this.
