Fire Fox and Foxfire (no affiliation with a certain browser), my ode to the classical element of Fire as a part of a group show project I'm working on with friends. Available here: www.carmandaartsthings.com/shop

A fox made entirely of flames runs down a hill in a dark forest filled with fireflies. The trees framing the fox are covered in foxfire mushrooms.

I'm Davis 👋 I draw, write, and code things 🙂

Out at Nam Dae Mun and there was a rad woman in leopard print dancing to the store music through the produce aisle. We crossed paths by the onions where she leaned in to me and confided "Girl, anything that makes you live a long time, they shoot the prices waaay up!" She is my grocery store hero.

It's chilly and windy today, so it seems like a good day to cozy up by the fire with some tea and a friend.

It's romance time! You too can romance with a digital download of this screaming chocolate possum as a valentine card, a print, or just a screaming chocolate possum to put on things: www.carmandaartsthings.com/shop/p/choco...

Slowly filling out my feed with my older illustrations previously posted to the bluebird lands before the scourge. The barn owl serves as a guide for spirits on their crossing, and occasionally is David Bowie probably.

2023 was a wild year of big changes and exciting developments. I'm hoping to go into 2024 with the lessons I've learned and continue making strides toward the life I wish to live. "Courage" is my focus for the next year. Wish you all the best! Happy New Year! www.instagram.com/p/C1iV--ZxSCg/

Lucky chance to be firing up this account on #kidlitpostcard day! I'm Carman and I'm an illustrator specializing in whimsical wildlife and cozy fantasy work. I'm seeking representation and work, ideally in children's literature and fantasy cover art. www.carmandaartsthings.com/portfolio/il...

A corgi dressed as a bard plays a lute and trails drool. She has on a backpack and belt stuffed with her favorite toys: a stuffed gator, a buffalo horn, a stuffed fox, and a kong. This serves as a postcard featuring my website, carmandaartsthings.com

For the tea and cat lovers out there, the first two in an ongoing series of little tea cats: Earl Grey and its evolution, London Fog. These were a lot of fun to draw (I'm a sucker for illustrating food), and I'm looking forward to expanding the series further.

An illustration of a small smoky cat-like creature curled up in a teacup. A lemon slice and bergamot sit beside it, all representing Earl Grey tea.

A floofy white smoky cat-like creature is curled up in a glass teacup, coming out of a layer of milky foam. It holds a little tea cookie in its paws and there is a vanilla flower and some vanilla beans along with other cookies surrounding it. This represents London Fog, the earl grey latte

An arctic fox thanks their polar bear friend for all the discarded seal leftovers with a treat of hot chocolate and ginger snaps. Tis the season for symbiotic relationships after all. Digital illustration, done in Photoshop. I'll start slowly porting my art over here as I remember.
