“Garden Magic”
🐈‍⬛🧙🏽‍♀️🌱
Anyone else trying to get as much of the outdoors as they can before the weather turns?
🤔🤔🤔
The first image is an impromptu illustration based on the prompt list provided by @drawtober while the rest are images from autumn adventures, including a geocache that popped up out of nowhere.

“Lil Sprout”
🌱🌱🌱
Last weekend, I finished something I had started around midsummer. For those of you who remember, I once asked if I should build a haunted house or a garden. Ultimately, the garden won. Scroll past the Lil Sprout sticker to see the outcome.

“Cloudwatchers”
🐰🐰☁️
I’m of mixed emotion as summer closes. On one hand, I still have a handful of adventures I would like to embark on, fueled by the memories of journeys successfully completed. On the other hand, I yearn for the crisp breeze and falling leaves that precedes nature’s long cold nap. Time moves ever forward, however, so the best I can embrace is the reality that I’ll have summer adventures to look forward to in another 8 months. Still, this is a twilight season, and soon fall will soon be a cozy memory tucking us in under a thick white blanket of snow.
☀️🍁❄️
If you look in the top right hand corner of the piece, you’ll see the Unicorgi/Corgicorn (Unicorgicorn?) flying away. The next pic is a closeup of the rare pupper from the front side, and the remaining are a small coterie of pictures taken from my happy place at the end of summer.

“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!

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!
