I make webcomics & paint things! Creator of Missing Monday (http://missingmondaycomic.com). Bury me in tea, owls, and cute sharks. She/her.
Tiny ghosties for some of my tiny painting club backers last month!

They are both the happiest little guy, which is my favorite energy when drawing ghosts

Pet memorial commission for my lovely booth neighbor at Rose City Comic Con.

I often struggle to get dogs as cartoony as I want them to look but this is exactly what I'm aiming for, I'm so pleased with it!

Common Loon for January's #BirdWhisperer

Working my way back through more of the older photos!

I think my favorite part of the original picture is the reflection in the water and the loon's coloration, so I focused on those with my interpretation

A batch of O.C. paintings I did at Rose City Comic Con! Three very different and very delightful vibes to capture here.

I forget to put signage up at shows because it seems obvious to me, but I'm always happy to put my spin on someone's personal creation :)

Release from the Patreon vault: #Muppets fanart!

Muppets are an interesting challenge for me because their iconic bobble eyes don't always translate easily into my little dot eyed style. I had a few character attempts that did NOT work but I love how these pairs turned out.

At Rose City my duo of cowboys & dinosaurs sold and I ended up being commissioned to do one more and make it a trio. I chose to add a stegosaurus because he's a classic ;)

I love his little stompy feet and I am frankly impressed that his rider has not been bucked yet!

More experiments with flowers!

I took several unrelated flowers photos and sketched them ontop of each other until the shapes made me happy, then inked and colored from there.

A genuinely delightful Rose City commission: cat portraits but styled onto highly detailed period outfits.

I've never done this kind of thing before but I have to ask myself why the heck not, this was right in my wheelhouse :3

Froslass commission from Rose City!

I love getting to paint people's favorite Pokemon for them, especially when they're not one that gets featured much in official merch.

Turkey Vulture for last month's #birdwhisperer :)

I love a turkey vulture. When I think of them, I think of a giant shadow across sun cracked grass, so seeing one peaceful and relaxed on a branch was a fun experience.

Froggy with a tamborine!

Is he in the same band as the fluffy white cat or has he struck out as a solo project I wonder?

More skelly girls!

I needed one more skeleton to finish up a postcard pack I was working on, so I painted the little jogger skeleton. Buuuuut then I was in the skeleton mood so I painted the artist too :3

Two little sharks in love!

I started with the green shark offering the rose to their sweetheart, then decided what the heck let's add the sweetheart

Catober 30 & 31

A witch with a crystal ball for "crystal" and some trick or treaters for "Halloween".

I might revisit that witch later, she turned out extra cute
