I’m starting a 100 days 100 postcards challenge and I made this neat little coloring page to check off along the way.

Now realizing I missed the “s” in postcards. Oh well.
Paper on a clipboard. The paper reads “100 Postcard Challenge” and 100 circles to fill.

Friday, April 4th was Tom the Cat’s birthday so I drew him this spiffy lil portrait in Clip Studio Paint. I think I’m gonna turn it into a sticker as well…

I had a lot of fun painting these little Totoros yesterday. I painted them in watercolor first and then added the pencil lines - a fun way to loosen up in my sketchbook!

Above photo of my sketchbook. Inside is a simple watercolor painting of the three Totoros- the gray one, the smaller blue one, and the small white one. Off to the side is an open watercolor palette and pencil. Side view photo of my sketchbook.

I had to sketch Tulip because this picture absolutely made my day.
Sketch of Tulip the cat. The drawing is green on a light green background. Her eyes are super wide.

Sharing some of last week’s sketchbook pages. Trying to branch out with some of the media I’m using in this sketchbook rather than only using posca markers and colored pencils exclusively lol.

#sketchbook #sketchbookpages #drawing #sketches #watercolor #acrylics #coloredpencil
Small sketchbook open to two drawings. On the left is a drawing of Chappel Roan in blue done in colored pencils and the right is a drawing of a cat in purples and pinks done in posca markers. Small sketchbook open to a painting spread across both pages. It is of a small tabby cat sticking her tongue out on a green background. Text reads:Momo. First page of sketchbook, a watercolor painting of a tortoiseshell cat.

I used to try to avoid posting about politics too much, because I know people followed me for art and comic stuff.

But politics are affecting my ability to exist and create art, so I'm going to keep posting about politics until it gets better.

Looking back at some older art today - this is a watercolor painting I did of my beloved cat Tigger in January of 2023.

I've definitely gotten a lot better at painting cats in the past few years, but I still think I captured his grumpy essence.

Enjoying my mental health and being medicated until RFK Jr. sends everyone on Adderall to labor camps! 😭 #cats #weirdart #rfkjr
Meme graphic. On the bottom is a drawing of a cat in a clown costume. Text reads: my body is a machine that turns Adderall xr and iced coffee into weird cat art. There are stickers of iced coffee, pills, and emojis in the background

I met the sweetest cat today, Dwight D. Eisenmeower at Somerset Regional Animal Shelter. I can’t have any more cats in my lease but I’ve been thinking about him all day. Anyone in the Central NJ area who needs an amazing kitty? #cats #nj
Adorable sitting orange and white tabby cat.

hank won’t cross post what is, in my opinion, his best tweet, so i’ll just have to do it for him
a tweet from hank green that reads “It’s so sad that so many humans lived and died without getting to see Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood.”

Knowing that over half the voters wanted this… it’s really doing a number on me today. So just know: when I post about inconsequential things like paintings of dragons, I’m not ignoring the world around me. It’s 1) my job 2) a coping mechanism and 3)hopefully a source of enjoyment for you
