I know this paper isn't good for water-based media, but I wanted to express emotions and it did the job — that's what sketchbooks are for!

I've been obsessed with Feed Us Your Girls by @LydiatheBard — seriously, go listen. It's a hard listen because of the subject, but so important and poignant.
Every time I hear it there are things in me need to come out, so I used water-soluble graphite to make this mess on paper.
Playing around with my new creature creation system. Definitely needs some tweaks, but look at this gloriously weird little dude I made! 😂✨ What do you think: terrifying, adorable... both?

This page is all about playing with shapes and ideas—no rules, just pure creative fun. Would you like to see any of these critters (or that one cheeky nun...) on future stationery?

I’ve been using my notepads CONSTANTLY! 📝✨ Scattered everywhere... desk, bag, fridge (yes, they're magnetic!). Perfect for quick notes, ideas, or reminders. How could I forget with this beautiful fox staring at me? 😭🥰

Does your pet also like to... "help?"

I wasn't happy with my previous product photos so I'm starting fresh.
Trying to showcase my art the way it deserves!

This little rat warrior has been giving me a hard time. Feeling kind of stuck with it. What do you do when a piece feels ‘almost there’ but not quite? Send me your WIP ideas—I could use the inspiration! #ArtBlockStruggles #CreativeProcess #ArtistLife #TinyHeroes
Life got busy, but I finally carved out time to revisit my tiny apothecary! 🌿✨
Finally got a chance to make some funky bottles out of beads. Turned out way better than I expected.

Setting up an old zine using sketches and the sentiment that I miss the stories that used to play in my mind at all times. I had to trade them away for mental and emotional stability, but I wonder if they are still there whispering against the white noise or if they have floated away out of reach.
I hate being afraid to leave home. I hate being afraid to speak MY FIRST LANGUAGE outside. I hate all the bots constantly commenting on posts about this.
I just want us to be able to feel safe again.

I have been over here agonizing about what to post to share my feelings about what has been happening in my country until I realized I just don't have the emotional energy to turn it into some creative metaphor.
I’ve been using loose sheets of sketchbook paper binder-clipped to chipboard lately, and while it worked, it felt like time for a functional and aesthetic upgrade.
The interior spine has two elastics, giving me the flexibility to quickly modify pages as my needs change. #handbound #modularsketchbook
Getting everything ready for Wizardfest on December 5th in Rutherford, NJ! ✨🧙♀️
My table is slowly coming to life with stickers, prints, and magical little creations in progress. I can’t wait to bring Dragonden Hollow to the fest. Hope to see some of you there!

Wishing a warm Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow US followers. 🍁✨
It’s easy to focus on what we don’t have or those no longer with us, but today I’m reminding myself to be grateful for the beauty still around us — in nature, in art, and in the quiet moments we create.

That guy was kicking your asses so hard.
Lately, I’ve fallen in love with magnetic bookmarks — they’re just so satisfying to snap into place!
So I decided to make my own featuring my art, and I’m *obsessed* with how they turned out.

Animated gif of a sparkly sticker. It is original art of a dragon with a broomstick and a potion bottle with a skull and crossbones. The dragon is wearing a large witch's hat with a crescent moon and a little spider hanging off of the peak.
Hope all you dragonettes out there have a wonderful Halloween!
What are your spoooooky plans?

A soothing little monochrome for this week's Throwback Thursday sketch. #TBT #throwbackthursday #sketchbook
You can see in the beginning I had no idea what I wanted to do with this sketch but eventually I got this lovely little goat/dragon critter out of it. #trusttheprocess #artistlife

Sometimes I try to do some micro art for Inktober so that it feels more achievable and I like seeing them together on a page! ....even if I don't do it every single day.. 😜
