“Danny Devikachu”
⚡️🐁🥚
A joke sketch I made years ago to make @rhunyc_ laugh while at a convention has consistently brought cheers and fears to anyone passing by my table and beyond.
😂🤣😅
Scroll through to see other popular pieces from the weekend at @convergencecon as well as some brainstorming for the upcoming Halloween art show at the @rourkemuseum in October! Deadline for submissions is in about one month!

“Trouble with Truffles”
🍄🐖🍄
Day 2 at @convergencecon is going by fast. Almost as fast as this little piggy wants to get out of this menacing mushroom forest!
🍄🍄🍄
Scroll through the carousel to see a backwards progression of the piece and let me know if you can tell the EXACT MOMENT I trashed my original idea and rewrote the composition to something cleaner and more readable!

“Just a Nibble”
🧚🦛🦈
A day late for Shark Week, but hey - better late than never!
🦈🦈🦈
The rest is just a continuation of the other sewing projects I’ve been making to destress. There was a prototype model that wound up looking more whale than shark, so I tweaked my patterns a bit and tried again, ending up with this purple cutie!

Pot of Gold!
🍯🪙⚱️
Summer is heating up, and I’ve been busy making things…although not what one would typically expect.
🗿🪡🧲
The little sprout scrub was made for fun, and utilized tin foil, wire, clay, paint, and leftover faux-liage from my killer plants last Halloween.
🌱🧚🏽‍♂️🌱
The bunnies were created initially for a bunny catching game I wanted to make for my nephews, but realizing that attaching the reasonably weighted carrot to a stick with string would be less of a fishing rod and more of a flail for a 2 and 6 year old. So instead, just a stuffed bunny that will leap for a magnetic carrot.
🧲🥕🐰
As for the octopus…well, it came about after a lot more sewing for a different (secret) project. Finding sewing to be meditative, I wanted to see if I could try something a little more complex and three dimensional - so I did a couple sketches, drew a pattern in illustrator, and sewed up a small sea buddy!
✍️🪡🐙
Anyways…more to come later! Enjoy summer while it’s here, and keep an eye out for news regarding the spooky season!

Last day at @fargocorecon and man…have I missed this! Make sure to stop out at the Market before 2PM today to see all the unique and incredible wares housed within these halls!
🦄🚀🧛🏻‍♂️
Beyond the bunny painting are an assortment of sketches I’ve done at the table this weekend. I’m planning on doing a full tender on at least one of them. Can you guess which one?

“Rainbow”
🌈🌈🌈
I think we’re finally out of the cold weather? I mean, it’s supposed to be in the 80s these next couple days, so it certainly can’t drop below 40 again for a while, right?
😅😅😅
I’ll be at @fargocorecon for the long weekend, so make sure to stop by and browse for a bit! I even have a few sticker sheets left!

May the 4th be with you!
🧙‍♂️🤖🚀
Dude…I was excited for the Obi-Wan series when it was announced, and became more excited when the teaser was released. Now, releasing the full trailer today gets me to full hype! It’s going to be an event!
🎉🥳🎉
Who else is psyched?

“Moon”
🌙🌙🌙
In case you haven’t figured it out yet, I’ve made a series of stickers I’m calling “Lucky & Charmed” and have been slowly releasing the individual pieces here. However, I’m excited to announce a release of vinyl sticker sheets that contains all of them as part of the upcoming “Bring Back May Day” festivities hosted by @bringbackmayday! Visit their website to learn how to get your own “Lucky & Charmed” vinyl sticker sheet and browse what deals all the other small businesses are offering!

“Eastern Bluebird”
🕊🌸🕊
Spring might finally be here to stay? I mean…we did just have another round of **** a few days ago, but that’s mostly gone now, right?
😅🤪🤣
#FunFact about the Eastern Bluebird: Of the three species of bluebirds, the Eastern Bluebird is the most widespread, and can be found as far north as Canada and as far south as Nicaragua!

“Lucky Horseshoe”
🍀🐴👟
A while back, I made that nifty little heart illustration that I posted about a month ago to help “prime the pump” and boost me out of a creative funk. Then, I made the Lucky Clover illustration for a St. Patrick’s Day show at @rourkemuseum back in March. Seeing the similarities between the two summoned the voice of one of my art mentors in my mind, urging me to do a series. Hence, this anthropomorphic horseshoe, and a few other objects that I’ll release periodically. Can you guess what some of the others might be?

"Holiday Hermit Crab"
🎅🦀🎄
Fun fact: The Hermit Crab is more closely related to a type of lobster than any crab!
🦞🦞🦞
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Weather prohibited some planned holiday travel for me, which was disappointing, but I did get to do some snowshoeing in the woods, which was peaceful! What did y'all do for the holiday?
