I found a list of "unusual color names" on Tumblr a million years ago & I've started doing an illustration for each one, just for fun. Here's what I've done so far

I didn't trim my roses back this winter & now they have so many blooms they are shading out the peonies & the garden is in complete chaos 😅

Ditch Audible, friends. Amazon doesn't need more money. Use Libby (supports public libraries) or Libro FM (supports indie bookstores) instead.

Proposal: When discussing automation, replace the notional always-on, maintenance-free robot helper you're imagining with the average real-world printer you've encountered. The more expensive and complex the printer, the more potential issues and "having a printer guy". A much better baseline.

I've been working on some flowers to expand my note cards available for wholesale, since I might not be able to order washi tape ever again.

He looks cute but woke me up at 6am knocking a houseplant off a shelf & then puking up the leaf he'd nibbled off it. Happy Monday!

A peek at a cute book coming out later this year. I've struggled with hating how I draw birds for a long time, but I think I finally figured it out: make them round!

Inside me are two wolves...and one of them is effing tired

watercolor and pencil illustration of two white wolves standing against a simple white and black background made to look like snow against a dark sky. One wolf is large and shot with arrows, the other small and childlike. The wolves are almost touching noses; the child looks up at the face of the injured wolf, not understanding. The mood is somber and sad

Lol I just realized my first post on here wasn't the happiest sounding. I've been posting my art online in some form since the late 90s, I've seen so many platforms come & go, and I'm tired. I'm happy to be trying something new though I promise 😅 Thanks for the warm welcome! Here is another fox

Okay fine. Now seems like a good time to make an account on a non-meta owned app but I'm trying to be on my phone LESS so not sure what I'll do here!🤷‍♀️
