I’m live on Twitch now working on some more bug paintings! I also have a little test to do on these prints and an envelope from my friend Doodle to open! Come hang out, chat, chill, or whatever makes your day a lil sexier.

A photo of an ink drawing of a moth holding a mug and a partially finished painting of a centipede in a sexy pose holding a rose and box of chocolates. Under them there is the back of a white envelope and a small glossy print that says happy fall.

I’m live on Twitch now for a chill cowork stream! No mic today so I can crack into this mile long to do list properly. Come hang out, say hey, or cowork!

A photo of two ink drawings. One is a mantis holding a jewel with more jewel patterns on its wings. The other is a reclining centipede that holds a rose and a heart shaped box of chocolates.

I’m live on Twitch now working on finishing this postcard print design! Come hang out, chat, chill, or whatever sounds good to you!

A photo of a partially finished painting of a frog and cranberries in a cocktail glass with autumn leaves in the background. The words Happy Fall are written in the upper right.

I’m live on Twitch now working on the last jelly bean and our next project! (Frog and cranberries it must be fall) Come hang out, chat, chill, or cowork!

A photo of two pieces of art. One a partially finished painting of hot chocolate in a mug shaped like a jelly bean and the other a pencil sketch of a frog in a cocktail glass surrounded by cranberries and the words happy fall in fancy script.

Last month the color my patrons voted to feature was rich green gold! A great color that worked well for more bugs sticker designs. In addition I had a few extra paintings I did for sticker designs, some silly and some inspired by prehistory! What do you think? Which design do you like the best?

A photo of several art pieces spread out around a color card reading rich green gold. There’s a stick bug holding a top hat and cane, a banana slug coming out of a banana peel, a bagworm coming out of a Baba Yaga style house with bug legs on it, a cicada molting and blushing while covering itself, and a sheet with two stone Venus figurines.

A photo of a hand holding two sheets of art paper with paintings of various prehistoric stone Venus figurines. There is light pencil writing next to each stating their names of where they were discovered and an approximate “years ago” age.

A photo of a painting featuring a figure that is a classic sheet ghost in green on the top half and a shapely butt and legs in high heels similar to a pinup girl on the bottom. There is text next to it that reads “bootyful.”

A photo of a painting of a stack of various pills. The text around the pile reads “save me pharmaceuticals” in a font textured to make it look similar to the 90s D.A.R.E. campaign font.

I’m live on Twitch now seeing if we can finish our jelly beans today so we can get working on some other stuff! I’d love to see if you want to stop by and chat, lurk, or cowork!

A photo of four partially finished pieces of art. Each features a different food in a jelly bean shape: apple pie, hot chocolate, rootbeer, and an open faced s’more.

This month’s sticker club is all printed and ready! You can join the Patreon tier for $5 at any point this month and get this bootyful sticker sent to you! Super fun to put this one on clear vinyl to give it some extra ghost umph.

A photo of a clear sticker being held out on a finger showing that the vinyl is transparent. The sticker features a green ghost with long legs, heels, and a flashing butt looks at the viewer in surprise. Text on the side of the sticker says “bootyful.”

Thanks for coming to hang out with me! Seems like a lot of us needed a little enforced quiet time. I’m a little over halfway done with our jelly bean flavors now!

Four finished paintings of different kinds of flavors in the shape of jelly bean. A sliced watermelon, a banana split, a partially cut cucumber, and a raspberry

TundraKatieBean @tundrakatiebean.bsky.social · 12d

I’m live on Twitch now for a no mic coworking stream! I don’t feel like talking today but I still have some painting to get done and I’m sure a lot of you have work too so we can work on it together!

I’m live on Twitch now working on these jelly beans for my new Patreon tier logos! Come hang out, chat, chill or tell me your favorite jellybean flavor!

A photo of a scattered pile of ink outline drawings. They’re all in a jelly bean shape and feature different food flavors like apple pie and rootbeer.

The patrons voted and this month belongs to Deep Scarlet! I’m already cooking in so many ideas I’m going to have to narrow it down, but I’d still love to hear what you’d do with this color! If you want to get some extra insight into what I’m doing with this one consider joining my patreon!

A photo of a hand holding a small color card in front of a computer screen. The card shows an example of a color named deep scarlet. The date September 2025 is written on it. The computer screen is out of focus but shows a selection of photos showing different red items like a watermelon or bunch of cranberries.

Sorry for the late notice but I’m not going to stream today. I’m pretty sure I’m sick. I’m gonna end up taking antihistamines and laying down hoping I don’t have sinuses or skin when I wake up again. I’ll be back on Friday!

I’ve been working on some more test prints with my new printer! There are two of these I’ll hand embellish with metallic watercolor. Then it’s on to product photos and listings! If there are other things you’d be interested in a print of gimme a holler 👀 or just tell me your fave from this batch!

A photo of a collection of art prints spread out. There’s an anatomical heart on a dark background with golden light beams bursting from it. A pair of hands holding liquid looking like a galaxy in front of a star filled sky with the words “we were neighboring atoms at the start of the universe who found each other again”. A dark purple iris with yellow beards. A circular image of yellow globe flowers. A seal sitting on an iceberg in an ocean ice field. A pair of salmon berries. Three moose walking down a street in front of a mountain filled view.

I’m live on Twitch now working on some more venuses and I have some cool jellybeans to show you! Come hang out, chat, chill or whatever makes your day a little better!

A photo of two pieces of art paper with different Paleolithic Venus figurines. Four of them are finished watercolor paintings and another two are unfinished. A small green notebook and pen partially cover the bottom of the art.

Sometimes depression is some big dramatic collapse and sometimes depression is staring blankly at boiling pasta and realizing you forgot to salt the water even though you always salt the water

I’m live on Twitch now after battling my skin for a week. Let’s get this cicada painting done so I can move on to other projects! Come hang out, chat, chill or whatever makes your day a little better!

Our old cat Jack LOVED biting through magazine covers. Those were just the right thickness to make the sound he liked I guess

TundraKatieBean @tundrakatiebean.bsky.social · 28d

He lets me stop him! Like he’s a normal level of cat annoyed when I do lol but nothing really intensive. He is DEFINITELY a lil goober so that just may be more evidence

He does enjoy crunching on some crinkly plastic but he hasn’t chewed on the mats just licked them and only the sticky part

Question for fellow sticker makers: do your cats lick your sticky mats if you leave them unattended? Just walked in on the boy licking a mat for the third time this week. Is he trying to help? What’s going on here?
