👻👻👻
Speaking of spooky - today is the last day to submit work to “Art Ghoullery VII: Cults, Cabals, & Covens” - in fact, there are only a few hours left until the deadline!

“Fox Mummy”
🦊💀❤️‍🩹
40 days until the next Friday the 13th! Why is that important? Because Friday, September 13th is the submissions deadline for “Art Ghoullery VII: Cults, Cabals, & Covens”!
🔪☠️🧙🏽‍♀️
If you or an artist you know loves Halloween - or just anything spooky - Then THIS is the show to be a part of! Check out the link in my bio for details and make sure to spread the news!
🎃🎃🎃
Anyway - I drew the original fox mummy years ago. When I decided to create a sticker sheet of costumed animals, I figured I’d try to update the original illustration. Scroll through to see the before, after, and culmination!

"Picnic"
🍉🦕🧺
The end of summer carries a bittersweet feeling. The long sun-drenched days begin to shorten; a gentle reminder of time's swift passage. Memories of love, laughter, and long road trips still linger, but thoughts start turning towards the upcoming autumn and winter months. Regardless, there is still beauty to be found in these dwindling days.
🌄☀️🌅
Of course, not all is bad. Once the summer sun drops below the horizon for the last time, the harvest moon rises and heralds the coming spooky season.

“Gothic Nouveau”
🧟‍♀️👰‍♀️🌸
Final day of@convergencecon and I’m sharing something a little out of my comfort zone/wheelhouse.
😬😬😬
Months ago, @spookycutes posted a prompt list for a Spooky Spring Art Party. While I went in with every intention to finish the entire prompt list, I got caught up in pushing myself and making something outside of my usual fare while also studying the work of Alphonse Mucha and James Jean. Needless to say, the first prompt took me a month to complete and made completing the rest of the list unsustainable.
😅😅😅
The good news is that it further sparked a love of blending specific art and design motifs into my own work, making everything feel fresh and exciting.

“Dawn” & “Dusk”
☀️🔮🐈
Day 2 of @convergencecon is a go!
👏👏👏
I often get requests for more eeveelutions when I set up at con. Long ago I did a Jolteon which doesn’t hold up anymore, but I was quite happy with it back in the day. Since then I have painted three different versions of Umbreon. The most recent, “Dusk”, I have included here. “Dawn” is meant as a parallel to that piece. Given Espeon’s general appearance, I used a sphinx car as a model for its general appearance and set it in a desert with higher saturation colors to contrast the desaturated forest of “Dusk”.

“Fuzzy Rainbow”
🐛🌈🦋
What kind of butterfly do you think this lil’ one will become?
🤔🤔🤔
As much as we like to hang on to the familiar, we all change with the passing of time. Nothing about us is the same as we were yesterday, nor will we
be the same as we are now tomorrow. Our cells burn out like tiny supernovas and are replaced by their own progeny. Each brick is replaced
In the building that is our self. All of us are a walking ode to the ship of Theseus.
🐛🐛🐛
Now I ask, what butterfly will you be tomorrow?

"Liminal Swim"
🌌🏊🌊
Once upon a time, I had the time and energy to do month-long art challenges. Nowadays, the time I take to make each piece makes that a little less feasible, but the feelings of excitement that accompanied those times can still be captured from time to time. Especially if I am okay with jumping in and out of challenges while allowing myself the grace to post at my schedule.
🌌🌌🌌
@ellolovey has been posting simply lovely challenges for months now. Whenever a new month is released, I feel the itch to stay up late and draw my heart out for however long it takes to finish a month of illustrations. June has been no different. "Liminal Swim" is the result of a thumbnail sketch I made for their June 8th prompt. And here we are!
🌌🏊🌌
Aside from the prompt, the illustration is inspired by memories of summer nights swimming in the backyard pool while on vacation with my brother.
