Happy Tuesday, silly billies!
A patron of mine reached out and inspired me to do a finished version of this sketch. I liked the sketch but I knew it needed some changes and a little more work, and I'm glad I did that work. I've still got plenty of other pieces in my W...

Keep an eye on your mailboxes! The June stickers are in the mail and on their way to you!
Please keep in mind, US letters typically take 1-2 weeks to arrive and most international letters take 2-3 weeks. If you haven't received your stickers within this time frame, please message me so I can send out a replacement.
Thanks as always for your support!

Happy Wednesday, friends!
I’ve been pushing through some serious…brain muck? I don’t wanna call it art block. I’m just really tired. Little sketches like this help a bit, at least. Something cute and uncomplicated.
Hope you’re enjoying your week so far!

Happy Tuesday, my lil' clams!
I'm...FINALLY making real progress on this one. This is like, the 6th version of it and it's finally heading somewhere I actually like.
I inked it in Illustrator, which I did indeed record, so I'll be presenting that in a video soon! I'm planning on capturing the coloring process, too (which I'm doing in Clip Studio Paint). All of it time-lapsed because watching me work in Illustrator in real time is actually crazy-making and I c...

Happy Monday, nymphs!
Spent a lot of time banging out ideas (mostly non-pinup) on my ipad yesterday, but stopped long enough to draft up this cutie. I'm back on my fairy bullshit, I suppose!
Water was always my favorite of the four main elements as a kid. I liked swimming well enough, but mostly I just liked the aesthetic of water and things that were associated with it. Water types were my favorite Pokemon type (which is no longer true - now I favor Fairy and Psychic types, the c...

Hey patrons!
I've gotten many messages from friends and followers that they've seen my art being used on shirts. Most can tell it's been stolen, but some wonder if I've authorized this site to use my work. I have not.
Alohahoo, a company nobody's ever heard of, appears to be stealing queer art from a BUNCH of artists, including five of my pieces, and selling it on shitty polyester shirts. So if you want a stolen jpeg that's been blown up bigger than it's me...

Just a very quick scribble I did yesterday while planning my workday out. Drawn in the note-taking program Notability.
EDIT: Okay, I was gonna set this to post Thursday morning, hence why it's written in past-tense, but I'm scatterbrained tonight so here ya go. Have a nice night, haha.
Enjoy!

Happy Tuesday, suds!
My "Wash Yer Hands" piece has been one of my evergreen sellers on my store for the past 4 years. I made the original in March 2020 when the pandemic ramped up - it was actually a "draw this in your style" image that originated from the amazing Kat Hudson - and it's been a staple in many a pinup lover's bathroom ever since.
I actually still really like the original, but I can s...

Happy Fridays, stickies!
I hope you've had a wonderful week! I finally finished the designs for June's Pinup Sticker Club stickers. As usual, I wanted the main sticker and Mr. Sticker to feel like they belong together, and I feel pretty positive I achieved that.
I'm genuinely really happy with these designs, and I can't wait to print/cut them next week. They're gonna look so good on your stuff! Can't wait to put them on my pink water bottle. <3
Make sure you're a m...

I've been cooking up a very small Pride 2024 collection, hoping to have it in the shop next week. The goal: a print (the image you're looking at) and two stickers. Nothing too nutso. Cute and fun and simple.

I've been pondering lately about the possibility to adding a higher tier to my patreon. This platform has proven a success for me so far, but I definitely think it's possible to leverage it even more and bring more value to you, the audience.
The sticker club has been a big hit, making up a vast majority of my patrons, and those who just want to look at my patreon feed have that option too. The perhaps obvious option for a higher tier would be a print tier,...

Happy Monday, bad dudes!
The winner (with over half the votes!!!) for June's sticker theme poll was "80's", and when I think the 80's, I think fun shapes, rad colors, and lots and lots of sweaty dancing. So naturally, June's sticker pinup just wants to dance with somebody!
I don't usually color the sketch for the sticker designs, in the interest of moving things along quickly, but I had something of a vision with this one and I want it to be carried through to the end. This is
Happy Thursday, my lil' balloon animals!
I've been half-joking with friends lately that my pinups look like balloon animals, segmented in specific places, pleasant round shapes. I was having dinner with my boyfriend and our friend from out of town and they both thought it would be a cute idea to pursue.
This is just a doodle, but maybe I'll take the concept further. It was fun and silly, at the very least! Could make for a cute sticker sheet or something.
Enjoy!

Happy Tuesday, fuzzy pickles!
I've been playing Mother 3 lately, a game I've long really enjoyed but have over the years only been able to chisel at. I soft-locked my game somewhere in a volcano a couple years ago, and have only recently begun to try again. I'm determined to finish the game this time, and so far it's just marvelous. I'm also pretty close to that volcano area, and I will definitely remember to buy the better weapon before I can't go back and get it a...

I was asked recently by the very sweet Denise to draw a pinup of her husband Sean (talented artist, check him out!) mischievously stealing cookies in the middle of the night. I've been asked by MANY a gay man to draw a pinup of himself or his husband as a gift or for the th...

I thought it'd be fun to do a quick doodle of yesterday's photographer looking extra cute hanging out in the grass. I imagine he likes taking pictures of fun-shaped clouds. Nerd.

I've been working through a bit of a creative rut when it comes to personal stuff (hence the lack of output last week). I made this neat marker for Clip Studio Paint, so I thought scribbling with it would be a fun practice to help shake off some rust. It was indeed fun!
I'm not much of a photographer. I have a good eye, but have never pursued it as a hobby. I've thought about investing in a nice digital camera for the purpose, but funds are tight and I fear i...

Happy Monday, teddy bears!
I've wanted to try screen printing again for a long time, and have recently mustered up the bravery to do so. I spent much of this weekend designing the art for what I would like to see as a shirt and/or a screenprinted print. You can see me here with the actual silkscreen. This is a VERY messy silk screen by professional standards, but I'm sorta new-ish to all this and I'm not gonna apologize for that, haha. You can see where I had to go in with a paintbrush ...
