Hello to the few followers I have! I've deleted my Facebook and Instagram, and wanted to mention it was intentional just in case anyone wondered. I've been more active here anyway! Cute (available!) fox pin for the 'art tax.' Happy spooky season~ #noAI #digitalart #traditionalart #fox #autumn

A round pin available on RedBubble, with the artwork "foxy pumpkin," by Cat and Kagagi. Pen ink drawing with digitally painted color. An orange fox with white points, and wearing a blue-grey scarf, sits behind a bright orange pumpkin with a piece of green vine still attached. The fox rests its front paws on the pumpkin with its head tilted curiously.

I added a link to links in my bio for a new shop front! Fybe.Art is a new marketplace for HUMAN artists to sell their products and art services of all media types. I have some dreamcatchers available like this one, and I plan to add more! #art #noai #crafts #dreamcatcher #handmade #fybe.art

A dreamcatcher made of a locally sourced branch bent into a circle. The dreamcatcher web has a larger circle in the center than usual. Two found shells hang in the opening, attached together with upcycled copper wire. The top shell is oval with the purple inside facing forward; the bottom shell is white and oblong in the other direction. The dreamcatcher web also has four tiny snail shells decorating the left side. The bottom of the dreamcatcher rim has purple and blue tassels hanging down.

I've finished this design at last! I made this as my first repeating pattern, but each cat was too cute not to upload separately for bigger sticker options. Check my RedBubble shop (link in profile) if you're interested! #art #digitalart #watercolor #noAI #cats

"Pattern of Cats" on a laptop sleeve from RedBubble. Digital watercolor. A collection of cats on a beige watercolor wash background. There is a tabby kitten, a light grey and white long-haired cat, two black cats, a tabby cat curled into a circle, and a ticked tabby. Between the cats are uncolored drawings of a fish cat toy, a mouse cat toy, two leaves, a millipede, a snail, and a crochet hanging cat toy.

"Tabby Cat Circle" on a pinned button from RedBubble. A digital watercolor painting of a cat with digital line-art details. The cat is a ticked tabby with undertones of warm gold in her fur. She is asleep curled up in a perfect circle, hugging her back feet close to her head, and with her face tucked under her front leg.

Three days left until my xray. I'm determined to get this pattern finished before I am on two feet again! This one will be repeating, and I also plan to upload each cat as a individual designs for stickers/etc. One day left, 40% off at Redbubble! #art #digitalart #watercolor #painting #cats #noAI

One more week of no-standing-allowed to go. I've missed the summer, but luckily the upcoming fall is one of my favorite seasons! Here's one of my early-autumn watercolors on a kitchen apron from RedBubble. 40% off August 26-31! #watercolor #painting #art #autumn #fall #landscape

The art piece, "Foggy Forest" as seen on a kitchen apron. The artwork covers the entire front of the apron, though some of the original piece is cropped to fit. Traditional watercolor painting of an abstract landscape. A grassy hillside descends the page in a curve, with soft water on either side of the peninsula-like shape. The shape of trees, a mix of deciduous and evergreen, dots the hillside. The grass and the trees are painted with various warm greens, browns, and reds. The sky is blue with wisps of pinks. The water is a mix of cool and warm blues.

Another kitten after my own heart~ Only one more cat to color in this collection of designs, and hopefully I'll have a cute repeating pattern! #art #digitalart #painting #watercolor #cats #kitten #kitty

Digital watercolor painting. A plump ticked tabby sits facing away from the viewer, staring curiously up to the left. Her fur is a mix of warm gold and brown tones, with a solid black stripe down her spine to the tip of her tail. She lacks stripes on most of her body, except a few along her legs and chest.

Took a bit of a stroll down memory lane today and uncovered a blog that I pretty much entirely forgotten about. I figured, why not try picking it back up? So if anyone's interested, I've added that to the linktree in my profile. I also added new art to my Redbubble! #corgi #digitalart #blog

A picture of the piece, "Mama Corgi" printed on a cloth zipper pouch. A traditional watercolor painting with ink details. A happy corgi is resting on a fluffy blue bed with white clouds. Resting against the corgi's belly are four sleeping corgi puppies. The mama corgi looks very happy. The family is surrounded on the paper by a soft pink and purple watercolor wash.

Spent a good portion of my day making this for my Mom's birthday~ My goal was pretty, but not perfect. I don't think I'll ever have a style with pristine line art, and I want to be OK with that. This isn't in my Shop yet, but it will be! #art #digitalart #watercolor #floral #flowers #sunflower

Digital watercolor painting. A blue vase is filled with a vibrant bouquet of flowers. Among the flowers are big sunflowers, blue hydrangeas, pink roses, a pink and yellow tulip, and a bird of paradise. The rest of the arrangement is filled with various greenery and unspecific flowers. "Happy Birthday" is written at the bottom, with two hearts drawn below.

Doing my best to dutifully plug along at these kitty designs. This one is particularly special to me, since the subject is my most recently late cat that we lost far sooner than it felt we should have. Tik'd tabbies are difficult to do in watercolor! #art #digitalart #painting #watercolor #cats

2 weeks of recovery down, 6 to go! I admit I've done a lot more crocheting and webtoon reading than art-ing, but I'm still working on these kitty designs. This one is the previous cat's brother~ If you like my art, check out my Redbubble! Link in bio. #art #digitalart #painting #cats #mermaids

A work-in-progress piece backed with a linen-colored watercolor texture. The subject is an adorable black cat. He is looking down a the ground with his ears perked and his tail gracefully tipped in a way that suggests he's found something interesting!

A product image from Redbubble of an all-over-print back depicting Cat and Kagagi's artwork, "Undersea Magic." Note that on RedBubble, the account is named "TheRowansHeart" while the shop is titled "Cat and Kagagi."

Artwork is a watercolor illustration with ink detail. An underwater scene with various colorful fish and a feminine mermaid seen from behind. Her tail is blue with green fins, and her hair floats above her in varying shades of deep purples and pinks. The water is mostly done with blues, but touched with purples as well. The plants are shades of blue and green, with ink details that outline other plant shapes.

Made it out of surgery successfully~ I'll count that as a good day! It might be some time before I buckle in on doing more art, but I actually have a bit that I've done and just not posted anywhere. So here, have a preview from some kitty stickers! #art #digitalart #painting #pets #cats #artwip

A digital watercolor painting of a handsome black cat with golden eyes. He sits facing the viewer, perfectly loafed, with his front paws tucked neatly beneath his chest. He looks very serious, but viewers should know that he is pure orange under all that panther.

Sometimes life has a way of quietly telling you how to refocus on your passions...aand sometimes it screams. I'll be bedbound for some weeks after surgery to fix a very broken ankle, so it might be time to try and revive my art journey. Maybe try posting here more often too~ Hi Bluesky!

A mixed media painting of black eyed susans. Yellow flowers with green leaves are cut out against a purple paper background, with additional white ink flowers on the purple paper and black pen details.

Sometimes friends' or family's life events can inspire me to do a painting. The creation of it is for them, but I admittedly love keeping a scan so I can share it in my shop front, too. This enchanted forest path is one such piece! #art #watercolor #illustration #painting #forest

A traditional watercolor painting with ink details. The painting depicts a group of moss-covered wooden boards creating steps up a sloping path through a thickly overgrown forest. There is tall grass on either side of the path, as well as bushy undergrowth. There are three trees in view, too tall to see their canopies: two on the left of the path, close enough to nearly look like one, and another on the right of the path further ahead, which has grown so twisted it looks to be spiraling into the sky. Beyond the third tree is the trunk of a fallen tree which is covered in moss so thick is hangs down into the path below. The sky beyond the tree is lit golden with sunlight, with a smattering of leaves from the canopy beyond the path. The color palette of the painting is cool tones playing off the golden yellow of the sunlight; the trees are shaded with dark violet.

Before I decided to do these designs in watercolor, I did finish a few digitally. This is one of them! I kind of like them both, so I don't think I'll be removing the digital versions from my Redbubble shop. Let me know if you have a favorite! #art #digitalart #watercolor #painting #spring

Two versions of the same design: a cross made of forsythia branches, with forsythia flowers dotted along the structure. The left is done in traditional watercolor with ink details. The right is painted digitally, with a purple gradient background.

I painted some spring designs with watercolor way-too-long-ago, and am finally fixing them up for my shop. I've only done one so far, but I'm surprised at how kinda-cute a simple, tiny flower looks on some products! You can find my shop in my linktree, link in bio. #art #watercolor #flowers

A cream-white bucket hat with a single daffodil flower in the center above the brim. There are two leaves, a flower bud, and a fully bloomed flower. The flower is a bright and warm yellow; the leaves are a soft green.

Working on this one a little slow, but I think we all need a little emotional grace with *everything* going on. Starting with the two images of my most-recently-late tabby girl was a good emotional tonic, though. <3 #art #digitalart #sketch #cats #pets #artwip

An image of a work-in-progress art piece with the digital 'work surface' of ArtRage visible around the edges. Two photographs of a warm-ticked-tabby cat with a white face and paws are visible as references on the left; one where she faces the camera with a sleepy look, and one where she is curled on a blanket in a perfect circle. The sketches on the right are of her curled up in a circle, and of the same cat as a tiny sleeping kitten. A linen-shaded watercolor texture has been added over the image for display.

Cats are strange shapes most of the time, very amorphous and pushing the laws of physics, but I find their furry little tushes to be one of the most difficult parts to draw! I think I got there in the end. #art #digitalart #sketch #cats #artwip

A rough sketch of a cat silhouette, viewed from behind. The cat is leaning slightly to the left of the viewer and looking up, head tilted curiously, at a flying bug.

Sometimes a fun video follow-along and some glitter paint is all it takes to make a really cute birthday card for a friend. I love this sort of piece for the relaxed learning and practice they offer~ Thanks to the original creator for the tutorial! tinyurl.com/5n83abvx #watercolor #art #painting

A watercolor painting of a simplified birthday cake. The cake stand is blue with silver edging. The cake is made of five solid rectangles of watercolor in a gradient from purple (at the bottom) to yellow (at the top). Each layer of cake is also outlined with metallic gold watercolor, with the depth of the gold color following the gradient up. The cake is topped with loose watercolor flowers in tones of peach, yellow, and pink; they are surrounded by greenery in varying shades of cooler greens. The flowers have scattered pale-gold details, and the leaves have some silver.

Nearing the end of the year, I've nearly made $20 on my RedBubble shop. I know that's not a lot, but it's more than I've made in a year since the start of this endeavor. It's very encouraging, and I'm so grateful! I hope your holiday season is cozy and heartwarming. <3 #art #digitalart #cozy

A digital painting of a frothy mug of hot coco. The mug is has red and white stripes. The drink is topped with frothy chocolate foam and a handful of melty marshmallows. There is a candy cane sticking out of the drink, curved-side up, with red, green, and white stripes.

New beginnings might seem strange at the end of the year, but it's never the wrong time to begin again. If you celebrate, I hope your first week of Advent has been exactly what you've needed. If you don't, I hope your December is doing the same for you anyway! #art #digitalart #illustration #advent

This is a digital painting done in a pastel style. It is a wreath of evergreens, pine cones, and bright red berries. In the center of the wreath are four lit advent candles - three purple, one pink. A white ribbon in front of the candles reads, "begin again."

Thankful that the world is still turning, for my ancestors making it through to pass that world on, and that this holiday can still be warm today despite what they had to make it through. I hope you have a lovely Thursday this week, wherever you are or whatever you may or may not celebrate!

Pen ink drawing with digitally painted color. The words "Always Thankful" are inked in the artist's handwriting with burgundy color behind the ink. A bright orange pumpkin, a vibrant red apple, a golden birch leaf, a brown oak leaf, and a pine-cone are clustered in the center of the design between the two words. A swatch of blue-grey digital paint is behind the whole design.

A quiet thank you to the anonymous person who purchased 22 greeting cards from my RedBubble shop today. It may be a small sale in the grand scheme, but there is something lovely in thinking of 22 strangers receiving art by me in the mail this season. ♡ Picture of my two shadow boys for cat tax~

Two black kittens a few months in age laying in a bright yellow chunky-crocheted bed. They are facing each other and cuddling so closely that their legs are folded over each other and their faces are smooshed together in blissful sleep.

Sometimes you can't predict what designs will be favorites. When I originally uploaded these holiday designs in 2018 I certainly wouldn't have guessed that this advent wreath would be my top seller! Six years later I'm still happy with this festive little wreath. www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/3555...

This is a digital painting of an advent table wreath. The wreath is abstract evergreen foliage with some distinct holly leaves and berries throughout. There are three purple candles, one pink candle, and one large white candle in the center, all lit with a vibrant flame. Some products with this art have a dark green background.

I guess it's probably about time to get over the "first post" jitters. Hi, hello! I'm a small-time writer and artist and new around these parts. Here are a few of my favorite pieces! If you like them, maybe check out my Redbubble or FineArtAmerica! (Linktree in profile)

"lift up your hearts." A watercolor painting with white ink details. A figure with short wispy hair is silhouetted in vibrant gold, standing on top of rippling water. The water is painted with varying stripes of blue and teal, with white ink outlining some ripples and the upper water line. The figure holds a bright pink heart aloft, with rays of color shining outward. The rays below, near the water, are shades of dark and vibrant blues; the rays above the figure are mauve, orange, and bright pink. White ink details soft bubble floating up from the water around the figure; the bubbles also make up the shape of the floating heart.

"Crowfall." A passerby in the autumn treetops. This is a watercolor painting with ink details. The background is an abstract autumn canopy done in bright oranges and reds. The trees around are bent and twisted. In the sky above is the silhouette of a crow with its wings outstretched across the canopy.

A trio sampler from a set of autumn sticker designs, all done with pen ink outlines and digitally painted color. They are: A woven basket in varying brown tones with a bushel of bright red apples within; An orange fox sleeps in a pile of bright autumn leaves; A white rabbit wearing a grey-blue scarf sits behind an acorn squash. The squash is mostly dark green with the bottom left edge blending into orange.
