AMAZING Renfaire moment, and personal first for me. A magical young lady adopted ONE OF EVERY STICKER from my booth! What a haul!!!

Happy Halloween!!! The spoopy eyes of the "Charming Cat" wishes you a delightfully spooky evening of treats and good fun! Will you be trick or treating tonight? We've got candy ready and waiting!

Happy National Black Cat day! I've almost completed my "Moonbow Bridge" painting featuring "Leila" 💜🐈‍⬛ I miss her every day, but I take comfort in knowing a piece of her is always with me.

I'll be keeping this painting for myself for obvious reasons, but prints & limited editions are coming!

New look, new painting! "The Librarian" 9x12 watercolor, gouache, & colored pencils on hot press, mounted to board. (What a mouthful)

Available

This painting celebrates my love of reading. Not even the ocean could keep me away from a good book!

"How's that painting coming along Pepper?"

"Purrrrfect!"

"Awesome! Will it be ready for Renfaire this weekend?"

"Heck no!"

Maybe next weekend then... 😅

Renfaire prep is hard and the fatigue got to me today... even with all of my self care and physical therapy, I was in too much pain to sleep soundly last night.

Hopefully tonight I will sleep better and I can get one more painting done in time for opening weekend. Less than 2 weeks to go 🙃

One year since I said goodbye to Leila 🐈‍⬛🖤

Over the "Moonbow Bridge," a special sanctuary just for black cats awaits. "The Black Cat Garden" is filled with all the best cat amenities. Black cats may get overlooked at shelters, but the moon always remembers 🌜

Taking some studio portraits for my new website. Super exhausting, but I did it!

Edited and perfected versions to come!

"The merfolk were enchanted by stories of the surface, filled with new creatures, lands, and heroes that they had never heard of. They enjoyed a period of enlightenment and taught themselves all they could."

The Librarian

"Sailors and pirates alike wisely feared the wrath of the #mermaid should they wander into her territory. Battles raged on for between man and #merfolk, sinking ships and taking lives. Many routes were impossible to pass through for untold years...."

When I'm feeling a flare it is so hard to draw. It's a strange sensation... art is what I crave to make but also the last thing I want to do... can anyone relate?

Lately, I've just been forcing myself through it. Seeing my precious Leila again helps 💜🐈‍⬛

My first new drawing is about a year is complete. She's brought a book and lives in the sea! You can meet "The Librarian" soon in the realm of Terratoff!

Some photos taken by others!

@heatherhitchman.bsky.social stopped by to support @melissagayyy.bsky.social and I. It was so wonderful seeing you!

And Book Santa, Dino Hicks, took a photo of me with the shirt I designed for the convention! ✨

Guess what????

After many requests, a "Filigree Stag" bookmark is on the way! This design needed a TON of editing to fit in the dimensions, but I think the magic worked!

These will first be available at Heroes Con in June, and possibly briefly online afterwards.

Do you ever work on a piece for so long that you feel like your eyes are gonna bleed out of your freakin head??? 😅😅😅

I've been noodling at this one for over a year... sometimes a masterpiece takes time to marinate...

(Just a sneak peek of corner for now)

After many... MANY requests I am working on a Dragon Lantern Bookmark! This requires lots of masking, cutting, pasting, and other photoshop sorcery so I hope you're all excited!!

Should have these ready to debut at Heroes Con!

Sometimes I just can’t resist doing an ink drawing before working on a full oil painting. It’s a fun way to get the ideas flowing. Plus, black and white ink art has always had a special place in my heart! ♥

Their first photo 🩵💚🧡 taken right after we had wrangled up the litter and found mama. Even though my iron deficiency and fatigue was at its worst then, checked on them every day. Now 3 if them are ours and happy house cats 2 years later! Love you Pepper, North & South! Happy "foundya" month.
