Digital illustration of a young cricket boy going down a pebble road on his way to school. His mom is waving him off from a blue door in a tree stump, and the scene is a forest floor.

Digital illustration of animal characters who are mailmen, with a bigger shot of a panda blowing in his post horn and then smaller animals who look like they are walking out of it, featuring an orange cat, an anteater, a giraffe, a hedgehog, a badger, a turtle, a mouse, a rabbit, a rhino, a rooster, a duck and a guinea pig.

Digital illustration of four kids having fun on their sleds on a snowy hill. One boy and a girl are coming down, the boy is scared and the girl has a big smile on her face. Their black and white dog in a yellow sweater is following them. Two other kids are staying behind and waiting for their turn. The boy in the back has a smug facial expression while the girl is looking at the boy with concern.

Digital illustration of a group of kids with their teacher on a visit to a botanical garden. In the foreground there's a boy using a magnifying glass to take a better look at a flower and in the background there's three kids reading a book with pictures, a boy and a girl looking at a butterfly, one girl reading a sign in front of plants, and another looking up at her teacher with amazement at his story.

Altar prayer card for the goddess Diana. A rectangular card has a black border with parts of the Orphic hymn for Diana surrounding it as a border in white text. In the bottom right are twin arrows over a crescent moon representing her and Apollo. In the bottom left and top right are white outlined 8 point stars. Inside the border is a marble shockwave black and grey pattern with white outlining that forms an arch at the top with lining to look like columns on both sides. In the middle is a stag skull with painted antlers of a diamond and star pattern. Behind the skull are smaller 8 point stars and cloud ripples. Above the skull is a scraggly branch of queen Anne’s lace with small dots above. In the top corners are two constellations for Sirius as her hunting dogs and Roman numerals for 13 and 8 for the date of the Nemoralia festival.

Victorian Ward - Black and white illustration of a Victorian wall with a scarab ward framed. The border of the whole piece is a torn paper. Inside is Victorian black and white striped wallpaper with damask type filigree in the black and smaller stripes and speckles in the white with small vertical black stripes on either side. In the damask pattern are slightly abstract symbols of infinity, an hourglass and other resurrection symbols. In the middle is an ornate rectangular frame framing a large scarab beetle with its wings out. On its wings are celestial symbols like Jupiter, stars and the moon. Around the scarab are peony flowers and branches of a tree branching towards the top left with a vine white line swooping in an out and around the frame in the same direction. The scarabs body is engraved like metal with filigree. Behind the scarab in the frame is grain shading grey over black.

Dark Vibrations - Inktober 2022 black and white ink illustration. Plain rolling hills lead to the door of a building with a large central spire and a small covered porch. To the left side of the building is a three facet bay windows and the other windows have ornate stained glass. On top of the central spire is a lighting conductor in the shape of a 5 point star. In the highest window of the spire is stain glass in the shape of an eye. Converging at the start is a large vortex spiraling and expanding through the whole sky. The vortex is pulling party’s of the building up towards it and cracking parts of the wood and foundation. The vortex is casting light and highlights on the building and the tress behind it. Converging towards the building is a circle of 12 white bird silhouettes.

I’m a sucker for characters whose arc just doesn’t feel complete if they go on living 😮‍💨 I’m devastated when they do die, don’t get me wrong, but it is right

Here is the whole gang in scale with one another! Chloe makes Josaphine look so tiny!!

I worked really hard on these and I hope it shows ❤️

Colored 2d drawings of five anthropomorphic animal characters. A king eagle, a cat in a red skirt with a pumpkin helmet, a regal falcon woman in a blue dress, a small rock dove woman in multicolored scale mail, and a tall moose woman in a dark cloak and green traveling clothes.

A day at the skull museum.

A four panel comic about a skeleton looking at skulls in the skull museum. In the first panel, the skeleton stands below a shelf displaying two skulls. Text reads, "looking at skulls in the skull museum".

In the second and third panels, the skeleton looks closely at two skulls.

In the fourth panel, the skeleton stands next to a tiered display of three skulls. Text reads, "none of them look like me lmao". A non-skeletal man nearby looks at the skeleton.
