One of my favorites!

Painting of my childhood stuffed animal, Bear, stepping out of the TARDIS!

Detox Doodles!

These are some of the sketches I did to try and replace mindless scrolling, and it's turned into something I look forward to every day!

This page is all about sea turtles! Duuuuuuude.

Tater Tot was a special kitty who was rescued by Kitty CrusAIDe in June of 2023.

He had bonkers for his front paws and became a symbol of surviving "out of spite."

I helped Kitty CrusAIDe raise over $5200 in 2023 with my Tater Tot art and accessories, and I'm doing it again!

All sales of Tater Tot art and merch benefit Kitty CrusAIDe!

Wow, throwback to the original 7 first Close Encounters kitties! These paintings changed the trajectory of my business!

And then there were seven!

Been on a roll painting these closeups of kitties! Adore their cute expressions and silly faces!

Which is your favorite?

My first month of daily Detox Doodles! Never did so many sketches consistently!

Detox doodles are daily sketches I do to curb mindless scrolling. I sometimes do them throughout the day, but lately I've been doing them in one sitting. When I have the desire to scroll, I tell myself to save the time for doodling!

I have figured out I like some feedback with my fountain pens, but not this much!

Trying the Twisbi Eco Stub 1.1 fountain pen with some Robert Oster ink. Not my favorite pen, very scratchy.

Been fun exploring the possibilities of living alongside huge benevolent capys!

Detox Doodles of Bitterns! They're so goofy, can't believe how long and short their necks can be!

I created this a couple years ago when Montana Representative Zooey Zephyr fought for trans rights and was censured.

Trans people exist, trans people belong, trans people should be protected.

I'm so disappointed and angry at SCOTUS, especially being a lawyer. I've been watching the iconic legal institutions I spend 3 years learning about and respecting... now crumble, twist and rot.

We must continue to fight!
