“The Spot”
🍂🐻🦊
I haven’t really been as artistically productive as I’d like to be this year. But I have been focusing more on friends, family, and adventure. (Also - a lot of great geocaching! 😁) All things I am enormously thankful for and that fill my heart and creative spirit to the brim!
🍁🍁🍁
How are you?

“Hanna & Greg”
🐭🎃🐭
We’re almost over the hump! Halloween is almost here! But before that, may I interest you in a Halloween-themed art Show?
🖼👻🖼
Friday through Sunday, from 1-5, until November 7, make sure to visit The Rourke Art Gallery + Museum for “Art Ghoullery IV: The Fantastic & Frightening” and see a host of incredible Halloween art from incredible artists! And on Friday, October 29, make sure to stop by for the Masquerade Reception, where we award a pair of exceptional pieces as determined by the Juror and the Audience!

"Grim Rabbit"
💀🐰💀
This year, @heatherfranzen encouraged me to take part in @fawnlorn 's #CreepAlong. As I want to do my best to complete a challenge this year, I'm keeping it simple and sticking with stickers....probably? Basically, in all likelihood, I'll be posting 13 consecutive trick-or-treater creature stickers.
😅😅😅

“Toxic Fairy”
🍄🎃🧚
Thanks to much needed guidance from @yellowchairpress, I got to give an older Halloween piece a literal glow up! Scroll through to see before, after, making of, and the results!
🧡🖤🧡
If you haven’t already, go check out Jenny’s stuff. I’m a big fan, and am sure you will be to!

“The Lighthouse”
🌕🕯🐙
Been a while since I’ve shared a finished piece, and I noticed that leaves are starting to turn, so I thought I’d share a commissioned piece completed this week in honor of the impending spooky season!
👻🎃💀
Speaking of spooky, “Art Ghoullery IV: The Fantastic & Frightening” over at @rourkemuseum is in search of art for the Halloween season! If you or an artist you know would like to be a part of a Halloween art exhibition that features artists from around the world, share the link to the Call for Artists that can be found below and in my bio!

"100 Caches"
🦝🦝🦝
Earlier this summer, I hit a relatively minor milestone and found my 100th geocache. In commemoration of the find, I made a sticker that I plan to send to everyone who helped me on my journey to finding 100 caches. Problem is - this milestone took maaaany years to reach, so I don't necessarily have everyone's address....
😅😅😅
If you're reading this and you went geocaching with me at some point over the years, DM me your memory of the experience and mailing address and I'll send you one of these stickers.
🌈🌈🌈
So what hobbies have you picked up and shared with others over the years? And if you have been geocaching before in the past, what did you think? What was your experience like?
❓❓❓
Also, big thanks to @giacaches for making some of the most fun finds in the FM area! My only wish is that there were more!

"Catshark" & "Big-Eyed Thresher Shark"
😺🦈👀
In honor of shark week, I wanted to share a couple of my older shark themed pieces and add that I found out a fun fact about the Catshark while reading to my nephew. Apparently, they are bioluminescent and will glow green in the dark depths of the ocean. Absolutely fascinating!

“King of the Deep”
🦄🦁🐋
@shikkadaman jokingly suggested a narwhal unicorn, and then provided a more serious suggestion with “lion”…so I decided to play in hard mode and do both simultaneously. Thus, the Sealiocorn was born!
🦄🦁🐋
What do you think you’d find in the deepest depths of the ocean?

“Platycorn”
🦄 🦆 🦫
Still pinging away at Junicorns. Liked how this one turned out. Though I’m in no rush for autumn this year, I’m dreaming more and more about Halloween.

“Toucan Do It!”
🦜🦜🦜
Learning more every attempt. This time, I experimented with finer brush control and mixing media. I like some of the results. Not quite at a place where I’m totally pleased with the output, but just gotta take it step by step!

“Wallacorn”
🌈🦘🦄
Only a few Junicorns left. Hopefully I can get the rest done early enough to pop out a Summerween piece or two!
☀️🎃🍬
Have you ever encountered a Wallacorn in the wild? Share your experience in the comments, and tag a friend who could use a magical marsupial or two in their life!

“Brontasauricorn”
🌕🦕🦄
My birthday is coming up, and as an early gift to myself, I picked up some cheap gouache and brushes. Going to play around with it for a bit to see what I can do, but for now, here’s my first attempt. Wish me luck!
🎨🖼🖌
PS - Big thanks to @dualbunny and @heatherfranzen for the tips and insight. Y’all are far better artists than I, and I really appreciate the help!

“Unicorigami”
🦄🦄🦄
Ooh boy. So…June is over, huh? And unfortunately, I might still have a few Junicorns left. Hope you don’t mind!
🦄🦄🦄
By the way, if you like this sticker and would like it in either its original or holographic form, hit up my store via the link in my bio!

“Movie Night”
📼🍿🐼
Good morning y’all! Inspiration overtook me, and instead of just drawing one Red Pandacorn, I wound up drawing two…and the entire world surrounding them.
🦄🦄🦄

"Corgicorn"
🐶🦄☁️
Probably my favorite of the Junicorns so far. If you were to adopt a magical Corgicorn, what would you name them?

"Seeking the Toadicorn"
🐭🐸🦄
A while back, I asked for some Junicorn prompts. And y'all came up with some good ones. I have a few in the queue already, but here is the first of the new ones - The Toadicorn!
🐸🦄🐸
Scroll through to see a couple progress shots. The only thing that seemed to survive from beginning to end was the placement of the horn. The mouse/gnome/duckling trio was a late addition when I decided that something else was needed, and since those three were already heading out for an adventure back in "April Showers", I figured they could be brought back, seeking out wisdom from the magical Toadicorn.
🐁🧝‍♂️🦆
More Junicorns soon!

“Raccoonicorn of the Sea”

Starting off #Junicorn posts with an oldie that is available in matte, holographic, and magnetic in case you want to grab one from my store. More #Junicorns to come!

May 27

The month is almost up. As an ode to the frightening fish being shared over on the @drawtober account, I thought I'd share a pair of the scarier fare. One is more recent and based on the ghostly beauty of jellyfish, while the other is a throwback to abyssal horror. Both, as of now, are untitled.
