Detox Doodles!

I am making a habit of drawing something each time I want to scroll unnecessarily. It helps stop the bad habit and start a new good habit of sketching everyday!

This page is full of Potoos and Tawny Frogmouths, who are simply Muppets.

Detox Doodles!

This is a habit of drawing something every time I feel the urge to scroll unnecessarily. It helps stop the bad habit and start a new good habit of sketching daily!

This page is all about some cute and silly cats in hats!

I got obsessed with painting Capybaras in January of 2024 because I love their cuteness, calm, and peacefulness. Can't believe how many paintings I've made! Proud of each and every one of them!

This is from back when I was obsessed with fountain pens, fude nibs and ink drawings! I had fun sketching some crows/ravens and some pretty nature!

My second painting in the Capybara Gargantua Collection! It's called, "Capybara in the Bamboo Forest"!

This is my painting, "Boop," which is number 12 in the Close Encounters Collection! Crazy story... her owner found my painting on Reddit, loved it, and of course I sent her a print all the way in the UK! What serendipity!

My painting, "Capybara in Winter"! This is one of a series of four paintings celebrating the four seasons!

The first painting in my Capybara Gargantua Collection, "Capybara and Fog"! I've made capybaras small, let's see what they're like big! Where would you expect to find a gigantic capybara?

I imagine capybaras are the type of friend who would join a fainting goat friend on the ground during a fainting spell so the goat wouldn't be embarrassed. Another sketch in my 642 Things to Draw book!

Some fun sketches with black fine liner and brush pen! I love corvids and squids!

My painting, "Capybara in Fall"! Fall is my favorite season, especially the fall leaves. This is one of four paintings celebrating the four seasons!

This is my custom drawing of Clive the adorable dog! This portrait will eventually become a reflective foiled print, and this particular style helps foil release cleanly from the print.

I got inspired by this amazing cat I came across, just look at him! Iggy was the muse for 4 paintings. This is "Grumpy Moon."

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!
