Will You Buy His Wears? He Promises He Knows What They All Do!

A cartoon green frog with brown spots and a paler green underbelly sits behind a gray stone wall with his front feet on it. His eyes are large and yellow and he is wearing a purple witch hat and cape tied with a lavender ribbon. There are two potions to other side of him on the table. The left is pale blue and glowing, the right is a dark bubbling purple. Three potions are hung from a brown vine above him, pink then orange then pink again. On both sides of the potions are glass orange spheres filled with fireflies with vines twined around them to attach them to the hanging vine. Behind the frog, a pale blue moon hangs in the purple sky. Yellow fireflies flit around the booth.

Will you buy his wears? He promises he knows what they all do!

Older piece (fall 2019) but never posted it and still like it a lot.

Tasty tart, inspired by a strawberry rhubarb tart I had from the local vegan restaurant and still dream about to this day. Fell off the face of the earth for a bit (moved across the country and started a new job) but now that I’m settled posts should be more regular.

A long-haired woman in a dress stands backlit by a yellow moon. She grips the neck of an eastern bluebird in her mouth, and her lips are as red as its blood that trickles out of the corner of her mouth. Her eyes are dark blue and neutral beneath red eyebrows. Her long hair billows out behind her and goes from red at the ends to purple to dark blue. Her dress's chest is bright orange like a blue birds' then shifts to red then purple then dark blue at the waist. The dress's arms are light blue like blue bird feathers at the top and then transition to dark blue. The crescent moon hangs with the dark part down towards her head and stays behind her like a halo. The sky is yellow around her waist, pink near the bottom of her chest, and then finally dark purple. Small lavender stars are scattered across it. Black raspberries are suspended from green vines with mauve thorns that frame the scene. The bottom of the frame is green serrated leaves. Two bluebirds fly on either side of the front of the bird eater.

Experiment with a circular canvas. Birds are still hard to draw and yet so so satisfying.

A little raeda to tide you through the hiatus.

Image Id: Eda in harpy form bridal carries Raine Whispers in the sky. Eda’s wings are spread out behind her. Raine and Eda are kissing. Raine holds Eda’s face with one hand and the other rests in their lap. Behind them is a sunset that goes from purple to pink to orange to gold. The purple is studded with lavender stars. Yellow, purple, and peach clouds fill the sky behind them.

A water color snail. They are a Cuban painted snail. Their name is Sheldrake. Might make some snails for sale if they become popular.

Image Id: A snail on a light, warm gray background. The snail’s head has two gray eyestalks and one small gray tentacles. The head is red on top, orange in the middle, and yellow on the bottom. The center of the spiral is white. As it moves out it becomes yellow, then green, then white again. Then it shifts to dark brown, to brown and orange and finally to red and yellow.

A red velvet worm with black antennae and black spots on a green background textured to look like wood. It's many legs are little round numbs.

Oh worm?

I just love velvet worms; they're such delightful little web-slingers.
