Had to re-make my Flora Venenata piece while upscaling it to poster size last night😮💨
I did find a gorgeous ballpoint pen brush in the process and I'm in love with it🖊️

For some insight, this is the very first sketch I did when using up old paint some months back. Most of my starting paintings from last year have sat unfinished but I'm hoping to fix that this year.
A detail shot of a giant circus tent glowing in the night, with two tiny silhouettes at the entrance.
A poorly lit picture of a painting depicting a circus tent on the night horizon. The tent's entrance glows the same color as the stars in the sky, and the ray of light from the flag pole of the tent.
Lighting is *atrocious* but here's my main wip painting!
It's been so long since I've completed a traditional painting so I'm a lil rusty; hoping to be done with it by next weekend.

A detailed shot, showing sun rays that moved in a waving pattern as opposed to a straight line.
Every once in a while I like to look back at my earlier pieces and just... stare at the details, such as these sun rays from an older illustration.

A cardboard moon made 3D and masking taped together.
Decided to make a moon before commencing with paper mache tonight🌙
Three stacks of different sized stars cut out of cardboard on a garage floor.
Roughly 30 3D cardboard stars held together by masking tape in preparation for paper maché.
I've got a lot of ideas for my spring Renn Faire booth this year and so far that's manifesting in DIYing a ton of cardboard stars
A self-portrait of the artist, mostly in purples and pinks. They have bright yellow lensed glasses, a gold septum ring, gold rosary, and bone earrings. Moles on their face, hair pulled up in a bun with bangs swooping to their right, and curled tails framing the glasses. The background is a purple and pink wallpaper style with a seafoam sort of glow around their silhouette.
No better way to show the passing of another year than to update my self-portrait! Here's to 27 more years of chaos and art.🎇💜
A sketchbook page with a headshot of Sonar, an upper half sketch of Flambae, and a bust of Robert Robertson III from Dispatch.
I rarely draw fanart but I'm looking to change that this year, have some simple Dispatch sketches 😵💫
My booth setup for Too Hot To Be Goth today!
I'm prepared to get sunburnt and severely dehydrated✨

A colorful schedule graphic with lots of pinks, purples, and yellow tints. The title reads, "June Market Schedule". Below is a list of three events, along with their dates and locations. "Thursday, June 12th, 10am-2pm, Cargill Pride Network Market." "Friday-Saturday, June 20th-21st, 10am-6pm, Kansas Pride 2025." "Saturday, June 28th, 9am-4pm, Art In The Park 2025."
My June market schedule is finalized! ♥️💗🧡💜
I'm a little late on the delivery, but I'll just blame it on struggling to find any actual info for one of my events.
An image featuring two characters, each one has three variations of it with different colors. The first, Forest, is a tall black woman whose hair hides her eyes, she wears a biker shirt, leather puff jacket, combat boots, and baggy joggers with a bunch of belts and straps on them. The second, Lilith, is a taller woman of mixed asian descent, she has long deep red hair, and wears a watch on her left wrist. She sports a dark long sleeve undershirt, with the sleeves pushed to her elbows. She has a zipped up mid-sleeve jacket, high waist jeans, and platform sneakers. The first variation of each character has more neutral colors that show the real color of their outfits, the second set are brighter to fit a neon look, and the final set are extremes of their respective color. (Forest's third outfit is various greens and yellow hues, meanwhile Lilith's is reds and oranges).
Updating character concepts for my Flowergirls zine, and I've made progress!
Below are Forest and Lilith, the protagonists of the series.

A full black image with the title "Flower Girls", below that is a subtitle "Chapter One: Aconite". The title has an image of aconite, or monkshood, flowers overlayed, making it purple and textured. The subtitle is a plain lavender color.
An old-old-old title card for the first chapter!
I vividly recall sending this to my friends for input, one said they thought it was the title card to a show at first.
I'm not sure if I'm going to use it as is, or try to remake it.
A screenshot of the workspace in Clip Studio EX. The left half of the image is a bunch of previews of pages for a zine, most only have a bleed template applied along with messy notes about what should be on each page. The top right half is a larger preview of the first set of pages, being the front and back covers of the zine. Only the front cover has an image of a lavedner field with retro lavender text and orange drop shadow reading "Flower Girls". The bottom right half is a preview of pages 2 + 3 in actual book form, each with a very messy sketch showing the pose for the characters Lilith Siah (page 2) and Forest (page 3).
Rough blocking for a zine about the characters and concept art for my unfinished comic "Flower Girls".

"Phantom of the Valley"
30 minute design while I'm boothing at an art fair today!
Micropen, highlighters, Pastel Chalk, and red pencil.
OH MY GOD it's been so long since I made that
Micole standing in front of her dirty mirror, wearing fishnets with holes in them, a black dress with lace sleeves, a front window, and a brown belt. She wears a silver chain necklace, an onyx point necklace, and a black felt hat with steampunk goggles on them.
A selfie of Micole, wearing a black dress with lace sleeves and a front window. She also has a silver chain necklace, an onyx point necklace, a small jawbone in a jar necklace, a snake septum ring, several silver rings on her right hand, and a black felt hat with steampunk goggles on them.

Not my best pics but I went to the ren fair yesterday! 🖤

A black and white digital sketch sheet; the top reads "Flora Venenata". Nine different flowers scatter the page, from top to bottom, left to right they read; Mountain Laurel, Oleander, Bleeding Heart, Lily of the Valley, Angel's Trumpet, Poinsettia, Aconite, Holly, and Foxglove. This is a sketch of a temporary tattoo sheet themed around poisonous flowers.
I originally wanted my first-ever post on Bluesky to be an elaborate 'Meet The Artist' but ya girl is too busy to finish it.
Instead, I offer this sketch of a temporary tattoo sheet I'm making, themed around poisonous flowers. 💜
