Challenge 97: Subway Card

WIP! Has a way to go. Boy do I love drawing subway seats a bit cleaner than they come in real life. 😸

Challenge 90: ABC Gals

This past weekend I tabled at MOCCA in NYC. This challenge came at a perfect time, and I made an alphabet series with super yogi ladies. I would love yalls feedback on color, layout, and anything else. XO

Challenge 89: Cat Owner, Deceased It's still a work in progress, but I always wanted to do a silly, macabre illustration of a skeletal cat owner - what happens when we can't keep up with our cats' many lives. Annelise

Challenge 86: Freebie: Turkey Hero

I decided to use my new animation skills to revamp a piece I made for Square Carousel’s Challenge 55 exactly two years ago! I love how she turned out. Any thoughts? :)

Challenge 85: Tree [Pose] of Life

I have been trying out making GIFs! This isn’t quite how I want it to end up, but it was a great experiment. Yogi love.

Challenge 84: Knotty Cat

I’ve been drawing my girlfriend a lot lately, so I couldn’t resist drawing her and her new (huge) kitten, Cheddar.  :)

Challenge 83: Hungry for Vacation Hi all! I had some funny jokes in mind for this challenge, but all I wanted to draw when I sat down was a fun, lush forest. I am dying to go in vacation in a few months!! I did this whole thing on the iPad. Pretty fun! Annelise

Challenge 80: Fashion Inspiration: Stranger Things

Stranger Things has been exciting a lot of people - it’s nostalgic use of 80s art direction, sound, and fashion makes it even more fun. I wanted to animate the sock colors but hit a snag. I will update it soon. XO
