A new painting! Acrylic ink, gouache, Posca marker, Gelly Roll and coloured pencil on watercolour paper.

#Illustration #Illustrator #Painting #Art
A photo of my newest painting - a wintery cartoon night scene. In the foreground there are two cute coral pink caterpillars. They are bundled up in hats, scarves and mittens as they build a snowpillar together. Five turquoise and purple butterflies flutter around them. Rolling snowy hills, a moon and starry sky fill the background.

Three chronically ill and disabled friends in LA are in need of funds for necessary evacuation and medical care. Please donate if possible and share widely!
Against an orange background is an illustration of a pink teddy bear holding an large bandaged red heart. The teddy’s eyes peacefully closed, looking down as if they’re grieving. Three chronically ill friends of mine and members of Sick In Quarters need to evacuate and stay somewhere where the air is clear. They are getting sicker breathing this and it is urgent. Please share.

Hi!
A pen and ink sketchbook drawing of two stuffed toys. One is blue, one is green. They sit happily on a red and yellow patchwork bedspread with matching pillows behind them.
