Hello hello, I'm Cait! I'm a cartoonist from Chicagoland who loves horror, comedy, and horror comedy! Check out my #art tag for both original work and silly fanart. I also love to talk about games and movies. Thanks for stopping by!

A digital painting of a suburban street during a winter night. The street is desolate and surrounded by dirty snow. The light of an EXIT sign seems to glow from the sky.

A digital painting of a girl watering her family's backyard plants in a suburb. Dark clouds loom low overhead, and large globs of something are dripping down from them.

A group of Halloween monsters and cryptids (from left to right: a Flatwoods monster, a gillman, a werewolf, a ghost, a vampire, a Jersey Devil, and a zombie) are having a party, with red plastic cups, colored spotlights, and smoke. They are staring bemusedly at the viewer.

A pair of trick-or-treaters - one dressed as a sentai-type character, the other as a sheet ghost - run away from a giant skeleton decoration that has come to life and is trampling through the neighborhood. A title reads "ATTACK OF THE 20 FT. LAWN SKELETON".

True Grit Texture Supply also has a really nice set of palettes for its KolorMarc brush set. I use them all the time now

INNING FIFTEEN, GIVE IT UP FOR INNING FIFTEEN

A screenshot of Mr. Krabs from Spongebob Squarepants. He looks to be on the verge of completely losing his marbles, with wild eyes, and is holding a cowbell. He announces "GIVE IT UP FOR DAY FIFTEEN"

They should make the edges of the screen glow progressively redder for each extra inning

I love frogs dearly and I fully support all efforts to reclaim frogs for the side of good and freedom

The frogs have landed in Chicago!

Protestor in a frog suit and an anti-Ice sign with what I believe to be a Pokémon character on a street corner in Rogers Park.

So this IL Hospital Association memo describes an incident where ICE detained a US citizen, gave them HEART PROBLEMS, took them to a hospital where the fought with medical personnel, then left when they realized they detained a CITIZEN.

Last time I went to get a new mattress I went to a Mattress Firm literally kiddie corner from another Mattress Firm

Realistically I don't go beyond the blue slice but. Come on. There's *something* up with Mattress Firm

It’s really kind of a miracle game. Made it through a somewhat chaotic production to become one of the most brilliant, tight, fun games of all time, even decades later
