sleeping is so difficult
art makes it better

I'll be at three fun events this spring! If you're in Portland, come say hi, shop some art and stationery, support some local makers!

I did a big refresh of my stock at Alchemy on Division yesterday! In the Portland area, looking for a cute place to thrift or shop for gifts? Alchemy is the place to go!

The Williams location will have a slightly different collection of my things later this week, too!

#art #qrp

still having a fun time with this @hannakarlzon.bsky.social coloring book! it has actually been a really good eye strain break away from working digitally. #artprocess #coloredpencils

just as i am about to sit down and draw, my arm cramps up, and my shoulder doesn't want to stay in its socket. i just want to make art, but my body says no.
#disabledartist

took a sketch meant for a bigger project and turned it into a 2hr challenge instead. i'll call this a rough draft, since i want to take on the bigger project in the future anyway.

some coloring work in progress. i am super lucky to have been given my dad's old set of prismacolors when he retired (architect). #art #artprocess #coloredpencils

to take some time away from my devices, i've been doing some coloring in this book from @hannakarlzon.bsky.social
perfect for a snowy long weekend stuck at home
#art #coloredpencils #coloringbook

red berries and holly leaves is a great idea!

here's my updated work in progress! next thing to add is the basket. what should i put in the basket?
#artprocess

realizing i probably should zoom out and go full red riding hood. i should add a basket, right?
#artprocess #workinprogress

new project started! this will be one where the background can hopefully stand on its own, which is one of my art goals for the year. #art #sketchbook

you deserve to exist as your authentic self ♡

#art

#art #artprocess

#art #sketchbook

hand study i started and finished today
#art #digitalillustration #clipstudiopaint

i finished this dtiys challenge this evening!
#art #dtiys

qpr with your watery art 🌊

still one of my favorites, this piece from early 2024 really made me feel confident to shift my style further away from overly cute to a little more realistic. #art

three stages of an illustration of a femme presenting person with long pink hair that is flowing up into the sky. first shows lineart, then flat colors, then base shading
