april sketchbook tour~

tiny sketchbook time!!! I'm glad I scribbled a bunch during the first half of the month cause once my mom arrived, there was no drawing lolol

I'm once again on my "please actually learn how to draw human bodies pls" quest, so we'll....see how this goes! There are two wolves inside of me: one wants to draw dramatic, dynamic fanart of my Baldur's Gate 3 characters, and the other one just wants to draw silly colorful little dudes :(((

096. mama barton comes to town!! & a dramatic ttrpg weekend

yahoo!! here is april's juicyyy podcast!! I hope you enjoy me and mom's chats, and also how wild my ttrpg campaigns were this past weekend lolol

sending all my love~~

april rewards will be going out a bit late!!

hi y'all!! as I unpack and organize the studio this week, I'm going to be a bit slow on art mail rewards -- my printer and scanner and everything are all over there, and I have some work to do on my PC at home, so I'm grateful for your patience and understanding during this weird transitional period lol. I will have my Macbook at the studio, but frankly, I've gotten so used to editing and stuff on my PC, working on iOS again will take me some adjusting (I never ...

the stuff is in the studio!!! and my apt feels so different now

yahoo!! just a little photo dump to show that we got everything into the studio! the movers we hired were SO quick and helpful, everything was out of my apartment and in the new studio in less than 3 hours!!! i also got my shelves set up, so when I get in there this week, it'll be a pretty straight forward process of unpacking and organizing. :D

also, my apartment looks REAL different now -- it's actually kinda surreal? my apartment has always had ...

the studio move is a-go & we're totally redoing my dining room

Hello my dears!! The studio moving madness has begun!! I've been vlogging it a tiny bit, but to be frank, my mother has been doing all the packing before I even wake up in the mornings, so I haven't been able to get a lot of footage of that heh. So most of the "moving vlog" footage is gonna be stuff coming into the studio space/arranging it and things!

Pretty much everything in my dining room was studio stuff, so it's all tucked away now. My mom an...

idk what I want to do for the background...definitely wanna do the frame (gonna find a fancy rococo frame to reference properly), but idk if I want to do the table/wall set up or just have it on a plain white bac...

march sketchbook tour!!

here you are my lovelies! my march sketches!! there's a lot of traditional pages this go around, cause the LAMY safari really unlocked something in me, clearly

also, i know there's only a couple pages from my cincinnati trip ;; as beautifully inspiring as the trip was, i unfortunately found myself a bit struck with hardcore imposter syndrome, despite my best efforts to put that aside and i found myself actually having a bit of a hard time drawing with 3 extremely talented, dedicated, pr...

Hello!! This is a little collection of photos from my painting my mushroom for Gallery Nucleus Portland (still can't believe my name is on this page alongside so many artists that I admire ;;)~ Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of like...insight?

blog ✦ a redraw & Big Feelings

Hello! So uh. This blog is gonna be talking a fair about the cruel and unyielding passage of time cause it's been on my mind a lot and working on this piece brought those feelings into even sharper focus, which I did not think was possible considering I've been playing so much Persona 3 (I'm still not finished so no spoilies please, but Persona games are usually very heavy on the ~wistful~ and the ~making the most of the time we have~ feeling, but Persona 3 Reload is like. hitting me across t...

early access ✦ ambient drawing video

edit: Grace G pointed out that my prescription bottles were a bit too clear and legible so I went back to blur them out~ and also a fresh new thumbnail cause my brain finally came up with how to combine the sketchbook close-up with a wide shot in a non-awkward way lolol

Yahoo! A new video!! I have two sponsored videos coming out this month, and I really wanted to put out a non-sponsored one, one that was very low-key. I really overbooked myself for the...

please help me choose a thumbnail

Hello!! I'm uploading a quiet, ambient drawing video, and I'm really agonizing over the thumbnail -- I want to keep it simple but I fear that simple will be some kind of false advertisement. So I implore you to help me choose the base photo!

♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥

1) wide desk shot

2) colorful sketchbook close-up

february sketchbook tour~

wow I drew a lot more this month than I thought!! that's fun to realize!!

my biggest thing this month is I've finally had the epiphany that I am extremely drawn to art that makes me want to eat it -- I have no other way to explain it, but it's the kinda art where my gut reaction is NOM NOM so!!! that's what i'm trying to go after in my work now!! i'm trying to make art that I, myself, want to eat <33 so I've been doing a bit of experimenting with my ...

little update

hi y’all!! i wanted to write a little update for the sake of full transparency — sophie has been on felimazole for her hyperthyroidism for 1.5 weeks now, and tho her behavior or appetite hasn’t changed, it’s made her diarrhea a lot worse, to the point where her stools are totally liquid. i know that felimazole takes about 3 weeks to start showing results, and diarrhea is a common side effect, but as you can imagine, i’m extremely worried!! she’s a...

i've got persona brainrot again ★ weekly photo diaries~

Hello!!! My sweets!!! It's another weekly(ish) photo dump!! It's kind of a chunky one, but a lot of it is Persona, as Persona 3 Reload came out last Friday and it's all I've been able to think about/do these past few days lolol it's so good sobs

I'm going to go ahead and mention Persona 3 Reload first and foremost cause it's been the only thing taking residence in my head this week! So get ready for a lil essay!!!

I know a lot of you will...

please double check your shipping addresses!!

Hello my dears!! I'm going through my mail this morning, and I've noticed quite a few folks continuously have their art rewards sent back to my PO box, usually due to "incomplete address" or "no such number" (according to the notes from USPS). And I want you to get your goodies!! Please please please double check your address on file! I try to format everything the best I can, but USPS can be weird and finicky, so please double check for me. Thank you!!
