Hi guys!! Happy Monday, and happy almost end of May — I hope your month has been alright <33

The last two weeks have been..a Lot re: connor's health; he had a heart monitor for a couple days to check stuff out (results came back normal) and has been having heart palpitations and crazy low blood pressure (hands and feet turning blue and pale) seemingly out of the blue.

here's may's 🍊tangerine🍊 rewards~

So cute!!!! I'm very excited about this month's patreon mail hehe :o) I like designing stuff with ~themes~ in mind, so I might do that moving forward, as it helps me narrow down ideas. As per usual, if you want these, make sure to join the tangerine tier before the end of May!! 

Sidenote, I got the sticker sheet done with Sticker Ninja, and they're SO BEAUTIFUL and the colors turned out exactly as I'd hoped :') And th...

life update

Hi y'all! First off, Happy Monday :o) I hope you had a great weekend!!! 

Second, my content is probs gonna be a bit sparse this month, outside of the monthly tier rewards. Connor has gotten pretty sick — we're suspecting it may be "long Covid", or potentially just regular Covid, but he's having chest pains, trouble breathing, low blood pressure, nails turning blue, random joint/muscle pain, fatigue, a lot of stuff. It comes and goes in waves which is the most frustrating part. On...

april sketchbook tour !! ✴

WAHOOOO the april sketchbook tour is here! I drew a lot this month (streaming twice-ish a week is very good for keeping my drawing practice more regular) and I'm really happy with how my work is progressing! A lot of my stuff is referenced from my Pinterest, so pop over there if you wanna see where some of my references come from. I have two boards: "things to draw" and "art references" that I tend t...

Hi y'all!! We've got something a little different for this podcast episode — it's a draw with me!! I had my stream set up all ready, so I figured why not draw and chat!! I've also got this episode as an audio only experience, so you can have it in your RSS feed...

Hi friends!! I just wanted to pop in and say hellooo and LOOK AT WHAT I MADE !! I just finished a redraw of this piece from March 2020 — I drew it in March, again in May, and now (almost a full year later) I had another go at it!! I really love doing redraws~~ They're a great way for me to track my progress and growth, and also it's a great way to just..make art without having to think up whole new concepts hehe. Kind of like a "draw this i...

✩ april rewards!!! ✩

Hi y'all!! Here's a preview for this month's rewards~ It's gonna be a 5x7 postcard and a cute little 3" (ish) sticker to match! I ordered my March rewards from Jukebox Print, cause they have recycled paper stock options, and they worked great for my holiday postcards, but the postcards came out a bit dull for March...and the stickers are a bit hard to get the colors right...so maybe I'll just go back to Moo for the postcards and Vinyl Disorder for the stickers lolol we shall see!!

I also have a phone wallpaper version :o) 

Also, the colors on this are so bright that printing it on plain paper doesn't really do it justice...if you can get your h...

a small hello!! just a chat to catch-up

Hi y'all!! I hope you're well~~ Here's a little video just to say hi and catch-up with y'all on what's going on in my little world. I'm adding a new Patreon tier (!!!!) and finally getting started on fixing up the studio proper. Now I just need plants >:0 What plants would be good for a room with a north and east facing window?? I'd love for them to be as easy to care for as possible, as I've only ever kept one plant alive (and it's a peperomia, for reference!) View Post

Hi friends!!! Happy happy April~ I hope y'all are doing well. :o) I would love your input on what you'd like for this month's printable or download ! You can pick multiple choices, so just choose all the ones you're most keen on. :D

just sent out the rewards!!

Wahoo!! Just sent out the march rewards~ I didn't have the addresses for about 20 folks, so I'll just make sure to mail your March goodies along with your April ones. :> Again, please add your shipping address to your user profile so I can send you things! 

Also, I think in order to bring the price down, I may need to make a whole new tier, so then y'all will have to leave this tier and downgrade to the new $15 tier (still deciding on the price) before I get rid of the $20 tier....

PLEASE ADD YOUR ADDRESSES ! so i can ship you stuff :D

Hi y'all!! I'm getting ready to send out the postcard for y'all, but not everyone has added their shipping address to their info! And so I cannot send you things D:

In your Profile Settings (which I believe you will find under your prof pic in the top right corner on desktop), scroll down until you hit Shipping Address. Please add your address in there, and make sure that you have it applied to your tangerine membership on my patreon View Post
