She's such a cutie pie 🥰

A photograph of an adorable black and white cat who's looking up at the camera in an extra cute way. She has a very cute pink nose which has a little black splodge on. She's lying on a blue and grey duvet. Her name is Cobweb.

Also, due to Etsy's set up, I have also inadvertently removed most other countries I can ship to. So if you're outside the USA, but it looks like I won't ship to your country, please let me know and I'll add that country in. Being a 1 person business, I can't manually add every country 😬

Sasha Stowe @sashastowe.bsky.social · Aug 15

Unfortunately, like many small businesses, I'm having to suspend shipping to the USA due to the removal of the 'de minimus' exemption. I'm hoping it will be temporary since I have a lot of US customers and this will hurt my business quite a bit 🤞

We do this too...we call it her soup!

I finally reached 1k followers over on Instagram, so to celebrate I'm doing a #DTIYS challenge 🥳

Feel free to do it in any medium (no AI). No deadline, but do tag me in your posts and use the hashtag #sashaDTIYS1k so I can see your wonderful pieces and share them 🎨

#kidlitart #illustration #art

A 'Draw this in your style' challenge set by me. The illustration is of a ginger haired girl who's wearing a dragon horn headband, a yellow spotty t-shirt and blue trousers, reaching down to stroke a cute pink dragon. She's surrounded by green foliage and other small dragons. One dragon is reaching up to her, one is on her head, one is flying above her and 3 others are hiding in the bushes.

So I studied International Relations (politics) at university. A good chunk of it was about terrorism, defining it etc...this group is not a terrorist organisation!!! They vandalised some property 🤷‍♀️, that's criminal damage, not terrorism. It's infuriating!!!!

A recent pet portrait I did of the gorgeous Mooncake and Snorlax 😍

If you're interested in getting a pet portrait, I am currently open for commissions...can be any pet, not just cats 🥰

#petportrait #illustration #commissionart #kidlitart

An illustration of two cats sitting in a blue pot of pink Vanda Miss Joaquin orchids. One cat is slightly taller and is a tabby cat, the other cat is a grey tabby. This was a commission, and I'm open to do others.

Here's the cover in the flesh (and with the proper titles etc) 🥰 I also did the illustrations for the back cover too.
