Happy Wednesday, my lil' digi-destined!
Prep continues for Saturday's art market (here in Burbank at Trustworthy Brewing Co., Saturday at 4pm-10:30pm, please come see me) and prints are in hand, including this one. The response to this initial sketch was positive here on Patreon, so I decided to finish it up!
I'll be putting up remaining stock of the new prints probably next Monday, so don't fret if you can't make it to the event on Saturday! I doubt I'll sell out of anything.

Happy Monday, my lil' freedom fighters!
I finished this one up so I could have it ready to print this week (be on the lookout for that very soon), but probably won't post it until next week as we get closer to the release of FFVII Rebirth, but y'all get it first!
Busy day, busy week, but I hope you enjoy! <3
This piece was sketched in Clip Studio Paint, inked in Procreate, and colored and finished in Clip Studio Paint.
Thanks!

Happy Friday, sweet buns!
The winner of the theme poll for the March sticker was "Honey Bun," taking about half of the votes much to my surprise! I'm a sucker for that sticky, sweet, weird lil' snack cake, so I wasn't mad about having to render its gooey sugar coating in my style. The only thing sweeter than the bun is his sweet lil' kiss!
If you're a member of the Pinup Sticker Club tier here on my patreon at 11:59pm PST on March 3rd, you'll get this sticker (and...

Happy Thursday, my lil’ materia girls!
I don’t have a ton of experience with the original Final Fantasy VII, but I absolutely adored Remake. Money’s tight but I paid for my copy of VII Rebirth early last month because I didn’t want to give myself an excuse not to play it when it comes out. The 28th can’t come soon enough.
With the new game coming out so soon, I figured it’d be a great time to do the obvious: a spicy illustration of heartthrob-with-a-problematic-voice-a...

Happy Valentine's Day, paramours!
The idea of doing a gender-bent fanart of a character who is basically already a gender-bent answer to a prior character is really, really funny to me. That said, I really like this sketch??? Miiiight have to ink it and color it and make it a small print, haha.
It's Cupid-adjacent and I figured it'd be fun, so I hope this celestial arrow finds you well and that your day of love is spent with people who matter to you. <3
See you next post!...

This lovely image was a commission for a kind fellow named Will, who previously commissioned me! This time we kept it a bit more simple and abstract in the background department, but I'm liking the overall vibe and I hope you do too.

Happy Friday, lil' folks!
I'll be selling my wares in person at the Art Night Market at Trustworthy Brewing Co. here in Burbank on Feb 24th (DO come by and say hi if you can), and wanted to have something extra fun to pack my capsule machine with, so I thought, what better to pop out of the machine than a cute lil' pinup guy? And thus, the Lil' Guys were born!
One of them is my familiar "mascot," the blue-haired Bo, and the others are references to common poses and themes, but I'v...

Hello, my lil' rhinoceri!
I was only really a casual Ninja Turtles fan as a kid. I'm the youngest of three, and largely gravitated toward video games and vaguely Japanese fare, with Ninja Turtles being my brother's thing. (My sister - the middle child - claimed to prefer Sega over Nintendo but I think she was just being a contrarian. I digress.)
Even still, I can only imagine that the two brutish baddies Beebop and Rocksteady were some amount of peoples' gay awakening, so it was n...

It's that time again! Let's exercise our right to vote and nail down the theme for March's Pinup Sticker Club sticker!
I'm keeping the overall theme simple this month and want to emphasize the cute and the appealing without thinking too far outside the box. We're playing in the realm of sugary sweet snack foods for this poll! Which one will make the most delectable of pinups???
Voting closes at 11:59pm PST on Friday, Feb 9th. So get votin'!

Happy Wednesday, lil' splotches!
I've been scribbling here and there in an ipad note-taking app called Notability. It's the digital equivalent of drawing on shitty legal pads with whatever pen you've got nearby. It takes the pressure off and keeps drawing purely fun and unimportant and silly. I have a few other doodles from the past couple months that I'll definitely have to share, but for now I'll just post these three cute ones from this past weekend. I really like the bed ...

Wanted to hop in and show you all the finished ad for the February Pinup Sticker Club stickers! Also, reveal: February's Mr. Sticker sticker is Mr. Sticker as a slimy blob!
As always, if you're a member of the Pinup Sticker Club at 11:59pm on February 3rd, you'll have these beauties sent right to your mailbox. So get on it (if you like, of course)!
I'm also having a big clearance sale on 2024-01-26 03:30:32 +0000 UTC

Hearts, gather 'round!
I'll be offering this as a sticker in my store this Friday! I'll also be running a clearance sale from Friday to Monday (30-50% off many items) so be sure to be there!
I thought about doing more of a product push for Valentine's Day, but I think a fun sticker will suffice. This is the kinda thing you can slip into a Valentine's Day card to a loved one (or hey, an FWB) that's cheeky and will look great on a water bottle.

Happy Monday, goodies and baddies!
If you've been following me for a while, you know I love a mock magazine/comic cover. I did a short series of fake magazine covers for an imaginary magazine called GoodButts. They were simple and fun and I had wanted to do more of them, but sorta felt like maybe people were getting bored of the idea. Sometimes when your art is also your gig or side gig, you have to think about the whims of the audience. A cold fact, but not one that I can't adjust to.<...

I've been taking some time to work on a personal piece today, in celebration of the upcoming Valentine's Day holiday, and because I simply feel like it and drawing for fun is good for the soul.
I've long wanted to do a remake (in spirit) of this old Venus-inspired piece, and I've always loved the motif of clams and shells and pearls and "ocean but make it pretty." So here I am, painting my little pearl-loving heart away. I still like the original, so I think of this ...

I gotta know for future stickers, how do you feel about the Pinup Sticker Club stickers (or any of my stickers) showing the genitals of the character featured in the art? Does it make you less likely to put the sticker on something? Vote, and (even better) comment and share your thoughts below!

I've been a little bit quieter than usual this week, primarily focusing my energy on finishing up/making progress on my remaining commissions, and...this.
Last weekend, as I previously mentioned, my brain was really blocked after a hiccup with my psyche meds, and wasn't able to make the sticker design then as I'd hoped I could. I got my meds on Monday and have been feeling a lot better since then, and I'm also back to feeling productive!

I just went three days without my anxiety/depression meds so my brain's a bit scrambled. Thankfully, the refill arrived today and I'm back on track. I had hoped to have the February sticker design done this weekend, but alas, it wasn't in the stars. I spent much of my drawing session at a coffee shop yesterday sorta staring off into space and people watching, with few scribbles to show for it. I have some cute ideas, at least.
Unrelated to that, here...

Happy Friday, diddles and dees!
I just wanted to hop in and show a WIP on Floating With You. I typically prefer to ink in Procreate, since their brush smoothing is so much nicer than any other program, but Clip Studio Paint is a close second and I felt like working at my computer last night instead of my ipad, so here we are. It was fun, actually! I like the results, it's not far off from what I get out of Procreate and overall, the inks look nice! I usually color in Clip Studio Paint (...

It would appear I'm still on my aesthetic and pretty bullshit. I just wanted to draw something nice and sweet. I'll probably be taking this one to a finished state, since I went and did a color comp of it (basically a colored sketch to inform the color and lighting choices for the finished version) and I do honestly like it enough to see it through to the end.
I've been summoned for potential jury duty, and actually have to appear at the courthouse...

It’s that time again to vote for the Pinup Sticker Club sticker theme, this time for February 2024! I’m going for a general “good vibes” theme for the options this time around, and I’m curious to know which one wins out. I’ll have fun regardless.

I finished this a couple weeks ago, I think, and I just…I don’t know what it is but it’s not working for me. I think it feels empty. Something’s off. I’m happy with how Astro Boy/Man turned out, generally speaking, but overall I’m having a disconnect and I might go back redo the background or something. I dunno what it is, I can’t put my finger on it.
Also, I know Astro’s a robot so it’s fine for him to be a little shiny but I think I went ...
