2025 Art Summary 🖼️

This year was a bit of a struggle with my art, ngl. I didn’t finish as many pieces as I would have liked to, and I had a difficult time translating what was in my head onto paper. So, to avoid burning myself out, I took time away from drawing to indulge in other hobbies, and that was a lot of fun. But drawing is always gonna be my favourite pastime and it’s always great to come back to it ❤️

I had a few good milestones this year too. I did my first collaboration drawing (Merida⬆️) with the incredibly talented tushe_art on Insta 💕 My Kermit the Frog art completely blew up on Tumblr and I have not known a moment’s peace since 🫶 Even more excitingly, a favourite musical of mine (Ride The Cyclone) contacted me and asked if they could use an old piece of fanart I did for them in their official merch for a limited run!!! Really crazy stuff.

I am so incredibly grateful to see people enjoying my art. Your likes and reblogs don’t go unnoticed 🥰

See you all next year! 🎉🥳🎊

Passenger Pigeon

I went through this phase where I learned about lots of extinct animals and the passenger pigeon always stood out to me. There’s a taxidermy specimen at my local museum so I went to sketch him one day and polished it up afterwards. Love these little guys 🥲

This was sort of a half study, half my own thing, because I really want to practice my environments more.

I had to draw this mighty fine photo originally posted by @Clairpha on Twitter.

Glow In The Dark

I’ve been so fascinated by the Radium Girls over the last few years. These women painted watch dials with radium paint to make them glow in the dark. But they unknowingly ingested radium when they would curl their lips around the paintbrush bristles to make a finer tip (something their employers encouraged them to do). As the radiation poisoning got worse, some of the women could even see their bones glowing through their skin.

Dead Outlaw

I am so delighted that they actually made the story of outlaw-turned-travelling-corpse Elmer McCurdy into a musical. Still waiting on Part II of the cast recording to come out. This somewhat fills the void 😌✨

Happy 40th anniversary to my parents! Here's to many more years of drinking coffee on the beach together ❤️

A little expression sheet with some of my characters for practice, but also for an excuse to make some dumb faces in the mirror 🥴

So… who wants to go first?

[fancyhdraws]

A few years ago, I made this fanart of Jane Doe from Ride the Cyclone. Then, just a few weeks ago, the official Ride The Cyclone page on instagram contacted me asking if we could work together to put this illustration on official Ride the Cyclone merch!!!

So, from April 7th to May 6th 2025, the official Ride the Cyclone Store will be selling merch featuring this illustration:

If you see something you like, you can go to the official store page to get yours before May 6.

It's seriously been such an honour to be a part of this and I hope you all really like the designs! 💜
