I have a bad habit: I often get trapped in the mindset that EVERYTHING I share has to be a finished work of art. It's easy to get sucked up into the glitz and glamour of other artist's feeds, feeling like I have to compete. But art isn't a curated feed. It's messy, it's wild. Artists aren't monoliths who create the same work in the same style all the time. It's about growth, exploration, and remembering to do the work YOU want to do. So, enjoy some random mushroom and flora doodles. I know I did while drawing them! 🍁🍂 -- #mushrooms #doodle #artstagram #autumn #kraftpaper #wip #illust #boise #spiceandrose #leaves #nature #bulletjournal

I had a fantastic time at #goddessfest yesterday! Saw some of my vendor friends, shares food with my companions, and picked up some small treasures. I'll probably use most of these as drawing practice, before keeping them near my plant buddy 😄 How has your summer been? Have you had any dun adventures? -- #sage #nature #rosequartz #gemporn #gems #witchythings #quartz #wood #spiceandrose #crystal

When it comes to supplies, I've always been an open book. I see no reason to hide what I use--especially when that information could help someone else! So, for those curious, I've been using shrink plastic to make my pins! The advantage to this method, is that I get to customize every pin to my personal (or commissioner's) desire. The disadvantage? Having to hand draw each bloody pin. It gets old. 😑 -- Did you know, several of my pin designs are for sale on Tictail? Hit the shop link to see them!

It's the final countdown for @gemstategaming ! You have one hour to enjoy the vendor's hall before we pack up and wander into grand adventures! This is (most likely) my final event in Boise this year, so get in while the getting is good! -- Were you at Gem State this weekend?

If you have a Let's Play channel, and I like it, you can bet your butt I'm making fan art! Hither and Thither is a new channel and they're currently playing though Baldur's Gate 2: Electric Boogaloo 😎find them on Twitter: @gohitherthither and enjoy. -- Full disclosure, I do know the duo IRL, so I might be a wee bit biased? -- #eagle #illust #letsplay #YouTube #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #caw #spiceandrose #illustration

Are you ready for @gemstategaming this weekend? Are you ready for three days of pulse-pounding, in your face, gaming goodness? I hope you are, because it's going to be awesome! -- You can find me all three days in the exhibitors area and running various panels! You can also find this work of art that I illustrated plastered on shirts, brochures and signs. Be sure to get a selfie with one! -- Panels: Friday: Peddling Your Wares @2 Saturday: Drawing Dungeons @4 Sunday: Doodle & Dew @1 -- #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #meeple #convention #artistlife #artstagram #geekgirl #boise #idahoartist #gsgc #spiceandrose (at Boise, Idaho)

Not going to lie, I'm super happy with how these turned out! I really want to make more in the future, but, first, I have to sell these babies to justify the investment 😎 if they don't sell at @gemstategaming I'll be putting them up in the shop! Do you like zipper bags? What kind of design would you like to see on one? ○ ○ ○ #foliage #artistlife #artstagram #d20 #dungeonsanddragons #illust #handmadelove #etsyfind #etsyshop #spiceandrose
