Congratulations!!! They're all so beautiful!

I don't make a lot of jewelry for myself, but I did keep these! I really like how they turned out.

All hand-made (minus earring hooks/backings) with work-hardened 20 gauge wire, jewelry wire, metal beads, and mookaite stone.

Lion Months: December

An Asiatic lion looking at the sunrise. My goal with this set was to get better at drawing lions (my favorite animal!) and I definitely feel more comfortable with them.

Thank you for your kind words!! I am just happy to have the opportunity to share it!

Happy Birthday!! This is wonderful!! I especially love the lighting and the expressions.

Yes!! 🐢 I finished the comics last year and got it formatted for publication early this year. It was really fun to do!

My second graphic novel, Turtle Journey and Other Silent Comics is now out! Each is about different animals on their journeys. I had a lot of fun doing all of these and am really happy with how it turned out. More info can be found on my website keilanimcconnellart.com

I recently started working on a new comic! It has a lot of cats in it. Dialogue bubbles are empty because the typesetting will be done digitally!

Pencil, ink, water-based markers, and watercolor on Vellum bristol paper.

I love the hair and the contrast with the glasses!

Lions are my absolute favorite animal (second is sharks!) so I decided to do a set of paintings based on the different months! This one is a Congo lion for January, stepping into the new year.

More earrings, including those with semi-precious stones are now available (link in bio)! I had a lot of fun making these. All are handmade minus the sterling silver earring hooks. I also have titanium hooks that can be switched out with the ones shown if you have sensitive ears!
