My Sassy Sapphic Christmas card Design is now available for purchase!

I loved my doodle from this weekend so much that with the speed of a u-hauling lesbian and the might of a butch’s carabiner, I was able to add the design to my shop today 😅

Some sapphic wintery illustrations done with marker. I think they turned out really cute!

I’ve been creating a lotttt of digital art for work lately and playing with a more tactile medium helps balance my brain a little, which helps me return to a flowy state.

Happy Halloween!

Cheers to the kiddos that have made my whole year. My kid lit portfolio finally began to feel like home when these kids came to my sketchbook.

I love my trick or treaters. Please treat yours with safety and kindness this Halloween!!

For years to come they will say Rex was a good pet and an even better ruler of the globe.

Original line work was from a dragon themed coloring zine series I did years ago- Im getting a lot of inspiration from it lately!

I worked on the illustration more today and think it’s more crisp now. This piece is inspired by childhood summers in Florida. The sky just looks like that every night, and nothing blooms when you think it will. It’s amazing.

Dino costumes were the fashion that year.

Some Halloween illustrations to keep me cool while the Florida heat continues to go from a simmer to a slow boil as summer starts.

These BFFS could not be more excited to have matching costumes.

Hello blusky! I have taken a step back from illustration work to focus on creating pieces for the local out door market season. It's been a great way of getting back in touch with what I love about creating.

Update: This is the design that won!! It's also the one I wanted to do the most :) I can't wait to paint this on a storm drain and help raise awareness about keeping Florida's waterways safe!
