These tend to come across more with a bit of whimsy which is not how I would normally approach something but it’s the best way I can continue to find joy in the middle of the grind that is being a working artist!
I’ve been a bit in a vague place with the creativity of my personal work right now where I want to make things that feel more like vignettes, scenes or moments.
It could use some more contrast or color, but I think it could do well in a medieval witch themed coloring book. (Someone should hire me for that)
A princess witch divines in her dreams🔮
This whimsical scene came to me when watching the 1998 masterpiece Everafter. The COSTUMES the vibes.
This is the whole image of the sneak peak from a few weeks back. I really don’t feel like this is finished and it’s imperfect but I can live with that.

Been quiet cause I’ve never been one for these twitter esque platforms. It’s just not engaging to me. BUT I’m so excited about the launch of Flashes by BlueSky. See you there 💙
An Imbolc collage sheet from last year. I still really enjoy this one. I love drawing little objects. I love Imbolc for its sense of hope and renewal. A reminder to keep going, things will get better.
Embracing the flame of the great goddess Brigid on this night. Happy Imbolc🕯️

Hi, I illustrated an oracle deck. You can buy it! www.barnesandnoble.com/w/lost-oracl... or not that’s okay too!
It’s called Lost Oracle, written by Fiona Horne who is incredible and I’m so proud to have worked with her on it!
We have all been made to believe that we rely on these big corps for everything. We don’t. We need to believe that we have discipline and that these monsters don’t own our wallets. We do. Shop smart, especially small when you can. :)
Sorry I have more to say:
I plan on trying my best to “fight with my wallet” this year.
Looking out for who eliminates DEIs, who supports who, shopping small, shopping local. Getting rid of unethical buying habits. I encourage you all to do the same! ❤️
Yet their pride and black history month displays are very noticeable and showy right at the front of the store, near checkouts, every single year 🙄 curious to see if they continue with that scam
It would be difficult to let go after so many years, and I also see the benefit of staying to “fight back” if you will. But conflicted between staying and showing up in adversary and deleting so we can watch zuck dissipate into obscurity.
But I’m not deleting as of right now. What happens in the future? We’ll see. There are still things I care about keeping and staying connected with on there. But I also dream of a new internet landscape and letting the old gods of social media die.
As of now I am not deleting my Instagram. I’ve been displeased with insta for years and have seen all of this coming since the meta buy out. The last year or so I’ve been significantly less active on there because frankly I didn’t enjoy it anymore. (Cont. 👆🏻)
It’s so nice to find you here!
Thanks for following. I will be resharing old posts and new ones shortly. :)
