Just a handful of my 100+ sticker designs! I'm so proud of the growing collection!

This is one of my first brightly colored cat paintings, "Content Kitty"! It set me in the path towards discovering my color voice.

Cat ink sketches with my #fountainpen ! I am really into the fude nib for the big fat lines and line variation!

Painting number 10 in the Close Encounters Collection, "Eepy"! Cats sleep 12-20 hours a day, so you've definitely seen this expression.

With a dark chapter of America beginning, I wanted to offer you my posts as a reliable source of happiness. You can count on me to try and bring you a smile, even a little one!

I've used my art to help various causes (Ukraine, cat rescue, and LGBT), but fundamentally, I think we all need a little light right now.

It's my mission to continue to find that light and joy and spread it!

Hang in there, love you all!

This resonated with me today. I'm going to do my best to make those around me and those I'm connected to (that's you!) a little bit happier, despite *gestures wildly in all directions*! We can do this! #optimism #yougotthis

I stand with Ukraine! Slava Ukraini!

Stay in the rainbow... "Capybara and the Storm" was painted to help me remember to find and stay in the rainbows despite all the storm raging around me. Hope it sparks some happiness in you, even it's just a little!

This is my custom foiled drawing of RubyDoo the adorable gray and white cat!

Cats are such contortionists! I wanted to play with complementary color contrast here to make the orange cat fur POP. Had a ton of fun painting this!

My painting, "Capybaras and Northern Lights"! My favorite painting, just love neons!

Painted this in early 2023, as part of teaching myself painting with color. I took Marco Bucci's Color Survival Guide class and it unlocked my color sense and helped pave the way for my painting style! I'm Taiwanese American and really miss Taiwan's night markets, especially zhua bing!

Some #FountainPen #sketches from last month! #Corvids ( #crows and #ravens ) are simply amazing! Had some fun with some small studies of a #tree , #bamboo , and #lotus and #lily flowers.

Here, I used my now favorite fude nib in my Jinhao 159 fountain pen.
