A comic I made inspired by a funny voicemail I got some years ago.

Panel 1: myself and husband loading groceries into the back of a car. Panel 2: husband exclaims, “I got a voicemail from the vet!” Panel 3: close up of the phone, “I don’t know how I missed this!”

Panel 1: we listen patiently to the voicemail. “Hi Michael, this is Sheryl at Cherry Hill Vet.” Panel 2: “Just calling to let you know that Binky’s surgery went well and she’s waking up- (SHUFFLING)” the call ends. Panel 3: My husband remarks, “That cut off very dramatically.” I reply, “What the HELL happened?”

We imagine her in the surgery room, blasting a fire ball from her mouth like Godzilla. The room is in disarray and the vet had been reduced to a skeleton.

Another illustration I forgot to share on here. Rope was a pain to draw, but I am intrigued by fishing orbs.

Painting of Ravioli in what I like to call her July Dress. It’s meant for human babies so it doesn’t fit quite right. But she feels pretty in it.

A very fluffy orange and white cat wearing a pin striped dress with stars. Her chest has a pink tint, presumably stained from the watermelon slice in front of her.

First two pages for a pixel art webcomic I’m working on. Not sure what to call it yet, but this chapter is “Special Delivery”. TW for blood & fantasy world violence.

A giant pelican flies over an island village. It is shocked as a can in its mouth begins to stab it with a knife. The pelican ejects the cat from its mouth, and she tumbles towards the village below.

The cat is falling and hits a roof with a thud. A man with a large scar on his head looks up, “huh?” There’s is a rumbling noise, and then the cat falls past his window. He exclaims, “HOLY-“

Was in the mood the make pixel art, so I made this mock battle screen. Which ended up inspiring me to make a comic.

A battle screen depicting a man and a cat facing a giant cowfish. The man bears a golden seahorse canon, and the cat wields a sand bucket on her head and two scoops. They are on a tropical island.

For Christmas I made my husband an RPGMaker game. It’s a ~10 min, visual novel-esque experience. We appear in an ethereal art museum where each piece can take us back to a moment in time. By the end, we decide to voyage out into the unknown- to create new memories.

Text box: "I get it now, each piece takes us back to a moment." A pale, blue museum with arches, heart motifs, and sculptures.

An indoor garden with running water. There is a large, magical creature in the water.

A gallery with various drawings/paintings, mostly cat related.

Text box: "What was your favorite part of the museum?" Two people and some cats sitting in a small cafe. A seal is working the counter.
