your colors are truly a feast for the eyes 😍

A digital drawing featuring lots of little things scattered on the page, with the main things being two smaller frames, an oval one with a goose wearing a crown, and a larger one showing a landscape with lots of mountains. Above that is a frog wearing wizard robes and holdinga wand, and around the page are flowers, mushrooms and birds.

King Goose and his trusty Wizard Frog!

A bunny sits on a large towel in their living room, with her nose right in front of an old-fashioned fan blowing in their face. The cool air ruffles her fur and the towel as well.

A digital drawing of a red dragon with round golden glasses perched at the top of a dark blue teapot with the lid of the teapot resting on its back. The dragon has a yellow and white striped teapot dangling from the end of its tail which is wound around the handle of the teapot and is looking curiously at the pots spout. There are sketched clouds of steam rising from the pot.

This dragon is wondering if there is any tea left 🫖🍵

so cute! 🥹 I do like the matte—it’s comforting somehow! but I’m sure shiny would look lovely too :’)

I also have started liking lilac lately even though I’m generally not a big fan of purple!! 👀 have no idea how it started…….A MYSTERY

I love this critter so much 😭 I’ll think of them next time it rains!

a digital drawing of a grey dragon shaped creature without wings and with big ears holding its head high beneath a rainy sky. The creature is covered in moss, grass and yellow flowers and is sitting on a gnarly treebranch.

This little stone critter enjoys a good downpour 🌧

A soothing illustration of a house surrounded by a night sky filled with glowing stars, accompanied by the phrase “Sweet Dreams” and a decorative border of magical night time motifs—moons, flowers, fireflies, and teapots.

One by one, the villagers were heading to work. “Hello Chef! Which dish are you cooking up today?”
“Morning Cheesemonger! What cheese are you making today?”
The Little Mole tried to catch up with everybody.

One happy little lady

Aah sorry I missed this! Thank you so much for summoning me though 🥹💛

this is so gorgeous!! I can smell the air and feel the slight spring night breeze :’) magical!

A digital painting of a small but cozy New England bookstore radiates warm light on a spring evening. The sky is periwinkle blue. The bookstore occupies the first floor of an a 19th century wooden building. There are large windows with many panes of glass, and the viewer can see shelves of books inside. On the second level, the windows are also lit up, and one can see a cat sitting on a windowsill. Outside, there are brick sidewalks, potted flowers, and a white-flowered tree that is as tall as the building.

On a quiet New England spring night, a cozy bookstore invites you in.
