Hi! I’m still drawing, just trying to figure out how to use social media without it derailing my focus. Hope you’re all well. 🙏❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs7_lWWBKfA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=h2t3efbax9ly

Thank you for all the love and support this year!! I know I can be strangely inconsistent (a focus of 2019) but your comments and likes and dms make me think I’m not loony for preferring this possibility of art making to my very real, well-paying day job. My boyfriend was joking last night that all 90s kids used to draw anime in their free time and I just never stopped. And I thought “no I didn’t!! And I’m proud of it!!” You won’t give up on me so I won’t give up on you. ❤️ #2018bestnine #illustration #sketchbook https://www.instagram.com/p/BrsZqqABAxA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=n5zp8zb4phoj

I’m trying to be more intentional about lighting position and intensity in my work, so pretty happy with this one!✨ . . #art #artistsoninstagram #draw #sketchbook #inmysketchbook #portrait #portraiture #inkdrawing #drawing https://www.instagram.com/p/Brh69vABZfb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g7eqerh9uc9c

I started this interior in March. MARCH. Don’t let fear run your life.

More little portraits.

“The word priority came into the English language in the 1400s. It was singular. It meant the very first or prior thing. It stayed singular for the next five hundred years. Only in the 1900s did we pluralize the term and start talking about priorities. Illogically, we reasoned that by changing the word we could bend reality. Somehow we would now be able to have multiple “first” things.” - @gregorymckeown . . #illustration #drawing #draw #art #artistsoninstagram #comic #comics https://www.instagram.com/p/BrTq2KOge2Z/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vgnzo7vvce7a

I picked up 2 of these little square sketchbook on my trip to Burlington earlier this year and they’re so great for tiny portraits! As soon as I saw them I knew they would be excellent blank-page-panic-healers. Can’t worry too much with such a small page. ☺️✨ . . #art #artistsoninstagram #draw #sketchbook #inmysketchbook #portrait #portraiture #inkdrawing https://www.instagram.com/p/BrFpnYcFXF_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c3k8pmg4atez

I don’t think I mentioned my D&D character on here! Her name is Sophene Davos and she’s a half-elf monk from Ebedar. This is #wip of her for cards the DM is designing. ✨💁🏻‍♀️ . . . #illustration #illustrate #drawing #draw #art #artistsoninstagram #digitalart #ipadpro #procreate #artist https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq3QSOolxFR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=votpwswe2yz9

Have any of you watched Castlevania on Netflix? It sent me back to the 90s and 00s so fast. Mostly it reminded me of that feeling of being dazzled by a show or comic or game that you think about it for months. I’ve missed that feeling. So this is channeling the wonder and joy of those years. And hoping I can keep finding it over and over again. Thank you to the team behind the show. 🙏❤️ . . . #illustration #illustrate #drawing #draw #art #artistsoninstagram #digitalart #ipadpro #procreate #wip #artist #workinprogress #timelapse #castlevania #castlevanianetflix https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq2rL4gFq7r/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cmq98yxeum86

It’s cold and all I want is to be curled up in a hot bath constantly. 🍵 . . . #illustration #illustrate #drawing #draw #art #artistsoninstagram #digitalart #ipadpro #procreate #wip #witch #artist https://www.instagram.com/p/BqjAMICFbLW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ewxtn6v2i8k6

“I’m Gay” is done! It’s up in my @society6 store if you’re gay and you want the world to know it. Prints, pillows, and tote bags available. 💁🏻‍♀️❤️ . . . #illustration #illustrate #drawing #draw #art #artistsoninstagram #digitalart #ipadpro #procreate #artist https://www.instagram.com/p/BqfO6MTFXXX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nugy1kqksule

I never posted this one!! An update: I’m contemplating including more writing and coding and scribbles here (i.e. the things Im gravitating toward and doing on a daily basis). I’ve been clinging tightly to illustration, and I do love it, but it’s just a sliver of everything else happening. It’s a beautiful sliver! But I want to show everything else too. Im taking a personal essay class. I’m writing a lot. I’m bullet journaling. I’m learning JavaScript. None of that ends up here because I’ve so narrowed the idea of what I want to present to the world. So, all that’s to say: except this stream to change. I hope you’ll stay for the ride, but if not, thanks for stopping by. ❤️ #art #illustration #artist #artistsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BqNJTCDFld3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mijiy2vtued9
