This is an updated version of a drawing I made some years ago when I was first getting heavy into Zutara fanart. It was always a favorite, so I wanted to add the print to my shop, but realized I had improved a tad bit since I first drew it and it needed some love.

I always loved how Zuko and Katara switched colors when they were their masked identities! <3

(Also! I am selling some fanart prints in my shop! Right now there is only one size for each print, but if people let me know they want a bigger or smaller option, this could change. I'm almost confident I know what I'm doing!)

Here's a quick, soft Klance moment at the very tail end of Pride Month!

June sort of got away from me without my noticing, but drawing klance for Pride was starting to become a thing I do and I didn't want to drop the ball already. Also it's 2026 and I still love them so much!

Happy Pride! Let's keep up the good fight!

Happy New Year! I hope 2026 is a very happy and healthy year for you all!

I send out New Year cards to all my friends and family every year, partly because it's a happy secular holiday to send out well-wishes and thank-yous, and partly because it's always nice to receive pretty things in the mail that aren't bills or ads. This was my card for 2025! <3

I was commissioned again to draw Zutara! 🎉Yay!!!🎉

This time it was by AutumnWeen over on AO3 for her Zutara fic, What Was Left Unsaid. It's a very sweet fic that takes place in the aftermath of The Southern Raiders. So if you want the full context for this illustration, then definitely go read it! And I have it on good authority that she has more fics planned in the near future. :)

Why do you ship zutara

Why wouldn’t I ship Zutara?

Why do you think it’s a good idea to go to an artist’s page and write negative crap on their posts just because you don’t like their ship?

My page isn’t meant for you and that’s ok. Go find some kataang spaces and have your fun there. Nobody here cares whether or not you approve of Zutara.

Happy Zutara Month 2025!

Here's my drawing for day 6: Cuddling!

If I allow myself, I'd be noodling this thing to death. So yay for deadlines? Anyways, I hope it's obvious they're cuddling on Appa. He does look cozy to nap on so long as he doesn't turn over in his sleep. >_<

Like the moonless storm at sea, like the deepest woods at midnight, I have known true darkness, felt it within.  Brighter than any lighthouse, more brilliant than any lantern, your light guides me forward. To you. Always to you.

Zutara Week Day 7: Lantern

Had a lot of fun with this one. Knew I wanted to use the prompt, but it took me a minute to figure out my angle. Once the idea sparked, I got really excited. Not sure we need the lil poem-y thing, but I'm keeping it anyways.

(Edit: I had to tweak the original drawing cuz too many little things were bugging me.)

Hope you enjoy and happy Zutara Week!! And a big thanks to all the mods for doing such a good job and for keeping this tradition alive!

Happy Zutara Week 2025!!

Day 5: Journey

I like to think that even after having kids, the Gaang would take trips together every year because it's good to be reminded about their time spent traveling together as kids and what a crazy journey it all turned out to be. Who could blame them for not wanting it to end?

(We get a zoomed in crop becuz my sister insisted it was necessary)

Keith never did get the hang of dancing, but he always says yes whenever Lance asks. And Lance always asks him to dance.

I completely dropped the ball on making art to support Pride Month this year. I blame work and life in general, but the truth is that this has been sitting, mostly done, in my art app for close to a month. It took this long to remember that done is better than perfect and I should just post it already.

So happy belated Pride Month!

I'm so happy I can finally show this to everyone!

Last year I participated in Cosmic Constant, a Klance zine with proceeds going to PCRF. The whole experience was wonderful, and I can't say enough good things about how positive and professional the event coordinators were.

The above image is my contribution, which is featured as a page spread in the zine. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, and still so amazed it's in such a high-quality collaboration. Cause the zine is BEAUTIFUL! Filled with amazing fanart and Klance fics, including by some of my favorite fic writers! And that's not even getting into the art prints, keychains, stickers, bookmarks...

Anyway, if you're a Klance lover, then check out what we still have available. I have a feeling everything is going to go quickly, so don't delay! Here's the link: Comsic Constant Zine

So, while drawing a while ago, I had one of my favorite anime on for background noise. In the theme song, there was a lineup pictured just like this, and my AtLA-obsessed mind thought, "That's cute, but let's make it Avatar!" I also realized I don't really have any AtLA fanart that isn't Zutara, and I should probably remedy that.

I liked it enough to add it to my shop as a poster and a notebook!

[addictofreading]

I made this for my best friend who lives in Australia. For her birthday I put it on a hoodie and mailed it to her from an Australian printer through my POD store. Was super excited for her to get it as this is right up her alley art-wise. And somehow SOMEHOW the Australian Post has lost not one, but two shipments. After the first one was lost I ordered a reprint and now that one is lost. What are the chances, right?

Le sigh.

Anyway, I thought I'd share it here cause I always talk myself out of sharing here and that's stupid.

Speaking of, I also wanted to share that I started an online shop where I'm selling hoodies, shirts, and art prints. Right now I have some of my favorites of my fanart as prints, but if there's something you really want me to add just let me know and I'll see what I can do. :)

Happy New Year!

2024 came and went much faster than I would have liked, even though there were some aspects of it that I'm glad didn't get dragged out longer than necessary. I'm trying to go into 2025 with as positive an attitude as I can muster, which honestly isn't very much given the state of everything. Still, I'm trying!

I hope you all have a very happy and healthy 2025!

Happy Zutara Week Day 6: Festive

There's no way these two would let a little rain ruin a well-earned festival day, yeah? Maybe they 'accidentally' get separated from their friends and take advantage of a few quiet moments alone together while everyone seeks shelter from the summer shower? Or ya know, something like that. <3

Happy Zutara Week 2024!!

Here's my drawing for day 2: Dusk!

I'm so glad for Zutara Week and the lovely stream of Zutara works that it brings, especially after the last couple weeks.

For this one, I originally drew a completely different idea and got all the way to the rendering stage before I accepted that it just wasn't working for me. I'm glad I allowed myself to explore new ideas cause I'm pretty happy with how this came out. Hope you all like it too! <3
