I bit the bullet and ordered genuine ink for my printer. I previously bought aftermarket ink and it was incredibly fugitive. I was going to wait, especially with this month having some high spending events but I couldn't stop thinking about it. We'll make it work!

Yesterday, my little sister was in the car briefly and SID - Enamel was playing. She goes "this is sick. I'm going to save it!" I've never been prouder.

A fun illustration I did for spooky season 🎃 I have prints available for local pick up. Unfortunately, we have a postal strike right now but I will list on my shop once it's resolved!

Gouache painting inspired by vintage photos of a woman at the vanity. The woman in the painting has a jack-o'-lantern head and is carving in her eyelashes. On the table are other tools typical for pumpkin carving. On a wig stand is a pumpkin with a sleeping face.

Some rainbow sunbeams this morning.

I've been very sick all weekend. I haven't had the energy to do much and just been in bed. I think I'm finally on the mend now (•◡•)g

I made the mistake of not ordering a few different paper samples for my first order :p committing to one paper for a new print but getting a sample of another I'm curious about for an older print

Yesterday, I was working on my computer when Marcel went "I'm just going to scooch in here real quick" and laid across my arms (he's not an affectionate cat)

I was able to work for a bit longer until he rolled over onto my keyboard...

Grey tabby cat lying across a computer desk mat, his legs and tail against my arm trying to use the mouse. The keyboard is pushed out of the way.

When I was working on Kapeek, I had a lot of extra yellow paint so I painted this piece as well. A friend of mine bought it shortly after :)

Had a wonderful time at the con this weekend! So much fun and saw a lot of amazing cosplays and art! ⸜(*ˊᗜˋ*)⸝

I didn't get into the photo card workshop but that's ok. I only saw one Jayce cosplayer but it was in the canteen so I didn't want to bother him ┐(‘～` )┌

A quick comic I drew about something that happened last night. I forgot I put a pile of laundry on the bed which Marcel had claimed as his throne. Of course I couldn't disturb his Majesty
#art #comic #illustration #catart

Three panel comic.
1. Sleepy girl in pj's opens the door rubbing her eyes
2. Silhouette from the back of the girl. On the bed is a pile of clothes with a cat sleeping on top. The cat has one eye open to check the disturbance.
3. The girl slipped under the blanket, wrapping her body around the mountain of clothes, careful not to disturb the cat. The cat is sleeping belly up with its mouth open

A customer came in with a bunch of oil paints his late mother left behind. They were old but some were salvageable! Now, they are mostly oranges and greens which I don't actually use often but I guess now I will lol (￣▽￣*)ゞ
