Tiny Bursts of Happiness

shop | mastodon | bluesky here for the cuteness 🥺, shiny things ✨, colors 🌈, cats 😺, and capybaras 🦫 (no capy emoji 😔)!

A re-introduction!

Hey there! I'm Joy of JoyousJoyfulJoyness, and I'm an artist who realized her childhood dream of becoming a professional artist at the age of 40!

I'm a mom of 2 amazing boys and a lawyer, and my mission in life is to spark and spread happiness!

My art consists of creating things that make me happy (and hopefully you too), and I have gravitated towards animals (especially cats and capybaras).

So if you like shiny, happy, cute, cozy, and funny things, give me a follow!

Detox Doodles of kiwi birds! They are basically walking cartoons!

Detox doodles are daily sketches I do to curb mindless scrolling. I sometimes do them throughout the day, but lately I've been doing them in one sitting. When I have the desire to scroll, I tell myself to save the time for doodling!

[joyousjoyfuljoyness]

They're so cute!

One of my recent portraits of Lucy!

Tragically, she passed away only a few months after her owners took her home... 😭

She is now watching over a new family member, Sophie!

Portrait of Lucy the cat! Such tragedy that she crossed the rainbow bridge only a couple months after finding her forever home... I hope this portrait honors her, and she is now watching over her new sister, Sophie!

Gorgeous kitty!
