Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

After the crazy whirlwind of the past few months of prepping & launching & creating & selling… I’m finally carving out some time to sit & draw for ME again.

Here’s a quick one I did from a past photo of mine. Because I’m feeling ready for another new adventure.

The world is falling apart around us but I’m still here, creating, and carving out a little pocket of joy.

Here are some cute new dog shirts I’ve designed; they’re heading to my shop soon. 🙌 🐾

Sneak peek at a work in progress, and I’m super excited for this one! 🙌 🐾

Inspired by/creating for a fundraising event for RylieMae Rescue Ranch, which adopts senior dogs to give them a good “retirement home.” 🩷

They’re doing a sugar cookie decorating event, so I’m drawing sugar cookie faces.
