This is a little doodle I've always wanted to revisit.

Planning out a bunch of new little watercolor pieces - for now enjoy this little Monokuma. I sort of love him. (though his naval freaks me out)

My husband rarely takes advantage of forcing me to do art he personally wants, this is one of my favorites. I can't recall the game and don't feel like asking him, but they are using PSI powers to kill this white crocodile! This one sits by his gaming computer and I see it every day.

Another little Alice Cat sketch i'm working on. She is sassy.

This cute Magical Deer piece is still available. This is one of my favorites from last year. <3

Rough idea for a #Quasar from Dungeon Crawler Carl sticker. He's one of my top side characters <3

I had a lot of fun doing these miniture video game oil paintings for a while, I did a moogle and this cactaur and several others over the years. What other cute mascots would be fun in this style?

I sold down on a lot of my smaller originals at my last few shows and I can't wait to get back into the studio to do some more small watercolor pieces. I had so much fun with this Fungus Fairy a couple of years ago. Looking for inspiration!

Just playing around with some ACEO cards <3 This is King Kitty!

Seriously though, look at his wacky nipples~!? How has this original NOT found a home yet? It kills me every time. Anytime someone notices him at a show I make SURE they look at his nipples. Could I say nipples more in this post? Maybe? Nipples. 😂😂😂

I've been playing with ideas for a long time for a cute sticker to hand out at shows. Not sure if this is the one yet but I really enjoyed making it!
