I know it's no secret that Halloween is my favorite. I'm going to turn these into pind or pendants for friends.

I don't think I'll ever do a whole tarot deck, but I feel like an updated version of Justice is needed in the world right now.

#illustration #tarot #justice

Watercolor illustration of a woman with a serious almost angry expression, with long hair that seems to have a life of it's own. In her right hand she holds a sword, preparing to lift it for use. On her left arm is a tattoo of old fashioned balance scales.

If you've been thinking about getting a pet portrait, I have some time coming up next week set aside just for painting. This is a great time to message me for a commission!

You know, having worked with the general public for years, I can kinda see their point.

Illustration of a night scene in greyscale of a row of standing stones. At the far end of them stands a female figure holding some sort of light and looking back at the viewer. Her dress trails back along the path in creepy coils with a slightly glowing appearance.

Well, I'm reliably informed that I'm not allowed to go to work today.

MY hatchlings.

If you won't look out for them, I WILL.

Ok, I'm just sayin' if there's anything that can actually get me to sign up for a delivery service...

I can't decide if I want to add a creature or two to this one. I'm rather pleased with the quiet magical feel, but I do like magical creatures too.

Oooh, we're being invited to an adventure!
This ghostly cat wants us to follow her into the dark and obviously safe and welcoming hollow tree trunk with all the charming friendly gravestones.
What could possibly go wrong?

Watercolor and color pencil illustration.
A large twisted tree has its roots wrapping around a number of old, mossy gravestones. There is an opening, the tree appears to be hollow, and a small white cat is walking into the entrance looking back over her shoulder at you.

Another set of book guardians.

A little red and gold dragon is sitting on top of the books in a loaf position with tail hanging down. There are three books, one with pages towards the viewer, one in pride flag rainbow, and one in trans flag colors.

There are moments when, if you're very still and quiet, you can hear the music of all creation underlying our world.

#illustration #KidLitArt

Illustration: mixed media, watercolor and color pencil over collaged bits of music.
Art is of a giant tree with a twisting trunk and it's roots anchored in rounded stones in a calm body of water. On one upright root a small girl in a pink dress holds out a hand to a wild phoenix who looks like it might perch on her arm if she stays calm and lets it approach in its own time.

Hand painted bookmark. A yellow-orange d20 with sharp teeth, spider legs and a long prehensile tongue, is chasing a pair of adventurers who appear to be a wizard and some kind of rogue. The rogue looks like they might be dice dinner soon.

And I'm glad to see people like your dad standing up for what's right. I hope more catch on.

Beverly @picturedragon.bsky.social · Aug 26

My dad's 83 and suffering with dementia, but even when he couldn't remember where he lived and who his family were, he remembered that he's vocally hated DJT since he was elected the first time. I'm not giving ANYONE slack about not knowing how much of an ass clown our bigot in chief is.

Well, "meow" can be an appropriate response to almost anything really. I think you have found the best response.

I think it would be a "Pug-Pocalypse", most likely.

Every once in a while I feel the need to paint something to remind people that there are defenders of books, especially the ones that exist to give strength and comfort to marginalized youth.

An ORDINARY owl might not be able to remove a bigots hand. Do not try Library Owl, however.

Watercolor illustration.
A golden owl perches atop a rainbow book. A small pinkish dragon nestles between that book and a brown one leaning against it. On the other side of it there is a black then trans flag patterned book, with a dark amethyst crystal cluster acting as a bookend.
