a mini market in Seattle on Sunday, March 29th

(howdy howdy)

Next Sunday (3/29) I'll be tabling at Crow's Nest Comics (formerly Outsider Comics) in Seattle at a mini-market with @kamiupdog and @romecartoons. Come support queer arts, independent comic stores, local queer orgs, and the light rail expansion next week. Masking required (a rarity, yay!). We'll be there from noon to 6pm.

In June, I'll have a spot at Seattle Pridefest in Cap Hill - this'll be my first time doing a big Pride event and I have no idea what to expect.

Hope to see you there!!

A postcard print with a very colorful pile of frogs and toads, 21 in total. * 5" wide, 7" tall and fits standard 5x7 picture frames, inc

May have gone a bit overboard when I was learning how to draw frogs. Enjoy!

Hey tumblr, long time since I posted on this account! I'm a little more active elsewhere, like instagram (occasionally). Here's a self portrait I painted earlier this year but hadn't shared until yesterday. I was trying some new things stylistically and I like how it turned out.

not dead, just hanging out elsewhere!

I painted this silly thing last year in Procreate 😆 It's Beans from Hunter x Hunter visiting the Bean in Chicago since it apparently exists in the 1999 version of the show.

I'm teaching myself blender by fucking up some cubes.

Star anise and watercolor pumpkins, seasonally appropriate. It's gloomy and rainy today and I'm ankle deep in old drawings and piles of paper from several years ago.

Kid Pix just became pubic domain, so the remade (but pretty much exactly the same) version is now available here. It's uh, wild, highly recommend checking it out not only for the wonderful nostalgia but you can legit make some incredible looking stuff!

FIND IT HERE

Still life and timelapse. Fingerpainting in Procreate because I didn't know where the stylus was. I like how funky this turned out!

[opalescenteel]

No, I cannot explain. (available as stickers if you want for some reason..)

A touch late for the 25th Pokemon Anniversary maybe, but here’s some illos and fusions I painted in Summer 2019! I’m still really proud of how these turned out. All except Duskull were painted in Photoshop. Definitely considering painting more of them now… 

Happy 25 years, Pokemon.

These make me happy :)
