September print preview πŸ“πŸ‹βœ¨

     Hi guys!!~ I've been having a really weak start to the month so I've been unfortunately taking my sweet time working on the artwork for this month's print, but here is a little preview with the progress I've made so far :') 

     My mental health has been getting worse and worse over the past couple of weeks and I've barely found myself making art. This is the first artwork I've done since last month's print, and although I've ...

How I make roll labels at home 🌟

     Hi patrons!! Roll labels are insanely convenient because you can easily grab and go, as opposed to fiddling with a sheet of stickers, but they're actually surprisingly expensive to get made. A while back I went ahead and made my own roll of circle stickers at home (very easy and convenient) so I figured I'd share the process as I made a new roll! 

     I get my circle labels from the brand OnlineLabels (the ones I'm us...

August print preview!!

Hi patrons!!~ I am still working on chipping away at the artwork for this month's print, but I wanted to share a WIP with you all and give you a peek at what it's going to look like! I did a very messy sketch of this piece in my sketchbook months ago and I've been meaning to trace it onto watercolor paper and do a finished piece with it ever since. I initially started this piece with my watercolor palette, but went too dark on the hair, so I decided to go over everything in gouache -- gouache...

Update 🌸

tw;; suicide, hospitals
hey guys - it's been a minute since I've really done anything on social media. I have felt my mental health slipping for the past month or so. last week I was hospitalized for a suicide attempt - it wasn't my first but it was the one that would've taken my life had my roommate not come home when he did. I was in the ER for 48 hours and moved to a behavioral health unit for three more days; I came home Monday evening. I am doing better but things are still immensely ...

July Update 🌟

Hi patrons, sorry for being so quiet for the month of June - a lot happened on my end. My best friend has been visiting us since the end of May; initially she was going to stay with us for a month and then fly back home, but we all got COVID during the second half of June, so she's been staying with us a but longer than anticipated! (none of us are complaining about that because she lives on the other side of the country and we have only been able to see each other once a year) She flies back...

Early Access - Drawing Heartstopper fanart ft. Arrtx Colored Pencils πŸ‚

Hi patrons!! I'm intending on posting this video tomorrow morning, but since it's finished and all ready to go I figured I'd give early access in case any of you guys are interested!

April print - two 4x6s or one 5x7?

Hi patrons!! I came up with a cute idea to do a matching set of two different artworks for next month's print tier, and I was wondering if you guys would be okay with two smaller sized prints (4x6), or if you'd rather stick with the single 5x7!

For US patrons, they should arrive within 3-5 business days; for international patrons, between 7-21 days.

I assume that a lot of locations are in the same position.
