Hi!

I'm Andi - your neighborhood Flerken and Quirky Creature Artist. 🐙🐈

Yup, I draw (and write) strange things.

When I hate every word I put down, have to rewrite everything, and still dislike what I see, it's time to stop.

Frustration never produces quality work. It DOES make me hate what I'm doing, so it only makes sense to call it quits.

Thank you.

I was so glad this was the random animal I got to pair with "kraken."

If you enjoy my art, I have shops at inprnt and threadless, including many images appropriate for the Halloween season!

and both are having BIG SALES right now!

inprnt (high quality art prints): 30% off

and threadless: cheap tees and up to 35% off other merch!

Links below & in bio!

Drawing in white against a black background of a beetle, drawn symmetrically with legs outstretched. Its back shell is filled with an abstract, doodled design that suggests human bones and sports a grinning human skull near the top.

Drawing of an angelic figure with large wings that take up most of the image and extend beyond the boundary of the drawing. The wings form layers of blue, pink, white, pink, blue to echo the design of the trans flag. The angel is a skeleton with a bird-like skull and one glowing pink eye and one glowing blue eye. They are holding a sword to their chest with the tip of the sword pointing toward the ground. Their feet are extended downward in such a way as to make it look as though they were floating. They are wearing a crown of pink and blue flowers on their head.

Black tshirt with an illustration of a white rabbit at top of image weeping blood tears and a red rabbit at bottom with skeleton exposed weeping blue tears. There is an anatomically correct heart with a pin stabbed through it in the middle of the image and the rabbits and their tears form a loose circle around the heart.

Black tshirt with illustration of a creature with tentacles for legs, luna moth wings and feelers, a bird skull-like head, antlers, hoofed hands, fur-covered body and glowing red eyes.

Toad sat on the edge of his bed. “Blah,” said Toad. “I feel down in the dumps.”

As the only heir, Gielle found herself confined to Maris.

She was supposed to have a younger brother to ease the restriction, but he died with her mother in childbirth.

Her father dotes on her, including bending the rules so she can join him on Lycaon.

Had to get at least ONE pink critter in for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, in honor of my little sister.

No one would classify ParDafi Blade Dancing as a sport given its ubiquitous presence in the culture.

That said, Gielle is the youngest Turi in history (non-ParDafi to master the Dance).

And it's certainly a workout!

As today is World Octopus Day I’ll again mention that a Spanish equivalent to “like a fish out of water” is como un pulpo en un garaje. It means “like an octopus in a garage.”

Accountability post Day 4 for training to run the Castaway Cay 5K.

Yes, I'm being lazy.

Actually, I have personal training today, so needed to reserve some energy for that.

And my eye socket started aching, so didn't want to push it.

I’ve got a ✨special✨ long cat to share!

Shivers the Ghoulish Long Cat is back, with a twist - they’re miscolored! 🤪

[ #cuteart #artshop #halloween ]

A hand holding an enamel pin of a smiling long cat curled into a circular shape. It’s teal, and its body is segmented, showing black sections with white bones. The bones continue into the teal areas, as if the bones are seen through transparency. The cat’s eyes are large and white, ringed with darker teal, and have thin teal pupils. The cat’s teal body is “dripping” away where it transitions to the black parts. Text on the image reads “Ghoulish Long Cat Miscolors”

The nose bridge of my glasses irritated my surgical site (they said the swelling and pain should go away), and I kind of need eyeballs to see.

So...today was a bust.

But my medial canthus cyst is gone!
