As my health is improving a little I’m trying to get back to doing art regularly and figured the best way to do that was to go back to my roots: TLK fanart.

I’d say “it’s like riding a bike” except I’m actually terrible at bike riding.

But this I never forget how to do!

✨ I’m thinking about updating my social media handles…My name isn’t available everywhere and I’ve never really loved using “chelseakennaart” (it’s long and I don’t really like the double “a”).

My first idea was “kennacats,” but that isn’t available most places either. So I’m trying to decide between a few alternatives and would love some input!

If I change my social media handle, which option sounds best?

Use kennacats (where available) + kennacatsart (everywhere else)

Use kennacatsart everywhere for consistency

Use cmykenna (an art pun using my initials: CMK)

Keep the current mix of chelseakenna (where available) + chelseakennaart

I know I’ve been pretty quiet. Health stuff continues to be exhausting and frustrating.

I did manage to actually sketch something for the first time in a long time! Sloooowly figuring out how to draw Toasty (our new kitten).

Morning warmup doodle. Pretty obvious (to my fellow nerds anyway) what film I had on in the background…

I’m loving all this rain but Beepo says “no.” #Beepo #catsofinstagram #cats #catphotos https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpn1r34Pf5n/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A Beepo I sketched on the kitchen whiteboard while waiting for the microwave.

We have this white board on the fridge that we use for groceries and I like to doodle on it while waiting for the microwave. I added Gato later and Eric contributed the doodles of us and our daughter screaming in the background. I gradually add to it over time until it’s full, and sometimes we have “whiteboard battles” where I’ll draw something and then Eric will edit or add to it and we keep going back and forth until we can’t come up with anything more ridiculous or funny. #sketches #whiteboardart #beepo #gato https://www.instagram.com/p/CO4_cf0DDRC/?igshid=7w0bbzegylsc

Insomnia, up working on pet portrait commissions, but first did a little warmup redesign of an old character of mine from back when I was in college. Gosh I miss drawing these guys.

A little Rarity portrait I did as part of my husband's Christmas gift because she's his favorite.
