My station for packing etsy orders. It's a little chaotic but it works! 

Most stuff I use in packaging I try to make as eco friendly as possible, so paper packaging, biodegradable cello bangs, tissue instead of bubble wrap, that kind of thing. It helps that it's easier to customize paper packaging too. 

Featuring a return appearance of my Watermelon coffee cup. I love that thing.

 Let me know if anyone would be interested in seeing more of my workspace / studio. I'm thinking I might make a kind of studio tour or something down the line. Let me know if that would interest anyone!

My process of how I made my dice memo pad. I used the illustration I made for the backing cards of my “Chance” pins as a base and built things up from there. I mentioned elsewhere that I was considering offering this notepad in different colors, if anyone has any suggestions?

A few more of the little drawings that I send out with my recent zine, “Cats that I Can See From my House during Quarantine” which you can pick up over on my etsy shop! I had tons of fun making these little guys. 

You can get the zine, and your own cat doodle here: https://etsy.me/2QxKqjt

This was one of the first notepads I designed, I'm still really happy with it, even if the borders are sometimes hard to trim. I wonder would people like it if I released it in more color variations? Let me know! i think it would look pretty with some teals and greens in there.

Also, what are people's opinions on lines on their notepads? Personally I prefer them without, so I can doodle on the paper, but would people like to see lines versions of these notepads?

oooooo your art of hank and connor is so nice and the coloring is lovely <3

Ahhh thank you so much. It's the first proper painting I've done in a while so I'm glad it turned out well.

Hey look, it’s those Game Greps. Dernie and Orin. 

[morayahpaperart]

This game is a dumpster fire and so is the guy who made it. All I can do it make it gay, I guess?

[morayahpaperart]

Started out as a speed paint this and now it’s all finished up and polished. I need to make more gay things - so stay tuned for that.

So I got tired of never having enough room for all my dice on the gaming table, so I made these! They’re D&D Campaign notbooks, with hand illustrated character sheets in the front and blank sketchbook paper in the back, for your doodles, campaign notes or quests! They’re 32 pages and A5 size. Check them out on my Etsy! 

EDIT: These are now square backed, so they lay flat when opened!

Bisexual, Trans and Asexual themed d20 necklaces! 

These are available on my Etsy shop now! 

Spent so long looking for ace-looking dice and finally found them! I’m keeping my eye out for dice that fit other identities that aren’t produced as one time things or as artisan pieces themselves. So far I have Pride, Ace, Trans & Bi dice available and other products that have other identities represented. I’m always trying to expand my range and be as inclusive as I can, but I’m only one person D:
