Because I still can't take on much new work due to teaching I just want to remind folks that I have a Faire and just updated sizing and prices! You are also free to contact me one on one through my email to do wholesale/consignment (that's how I do most stocking agreements)

Illustration of a red swan with a darker red head and orange feet. The background is yellow and there are three orange stars around its curcled up body and slightly open wings
Cleaning up these two, the Pearl Swan and the Cerise Swan, as I wanted to start selling these at markets. They were mascots at my Patreon until I have started teaching again and have paused my Patreon for the time being. When I reopen I want to start up with new tier mascots for everyone!

Lovely day yesterday to have a zoo trip with my class. Went to draw the animals, stayed for the wonderfully sunny weather
It is one of my favorite days to be an instructor. You get to see some fun creatures and lots of growth in the student work while out in the field

I won't draw a GN for pennies but surely there is work out there?
I'll draw your TTRPG, I'll draw your magic card, I'll give your book a cover that people will cross a room to read
here's the ad they ran for the lecture:

Made a tutorial on drawing animals, using horses as the example for my Sophomore-level class. Here is one of the many steps getting to a somewhat nice, functional pony

The “look inside cat” meme. The text is formatted green text style, and reads: > “Ghibli-inspired art” > Look inside > a cel shaded deciduous tree
the thing is, people could easily just watch the fucking shitty wizard show and keep their mouth shut abt it. but they want to not only do whatever they want, they want to tell people about it and argue about how they're still a good person. they want everyone else to assuage their guilt for them
It still needs a lot of polish & I'm hiding the roughest pages until I make more progress on them, but all I pay for is the domain, which makes the investment worth it to me :-)
I used Squarespace for a really long time, until I just couldn't justify that price point anymore. Now I'm self-hosting my website with Cloudflare & it really wasn't that difficult! My projects page was the hardest one, with the filter: nookada.com/projects

A set of three coasters with hand drawn illustrations on them. Done in gouache and poscas the three represent a cheetah, a vulture, and an oryx. The cheetah has a blue background and is yellow, orange, and red. The vulture has a green background and is yellow, orange, and pink. The oryx has a orange background and is teal, blue, and yellow
Found more of my old posca and gouache work for gallery shows. This was for the Nucleus Portland coaster show in 2021. All pieces were on 4x4" coasters, and while these are sold out I'll be making a new set of three for this year's show soon!
