My name is Erin Darling, and I’m a queer watercolor artist form Tacoma, WA. I paint original anthropomorphic characters and storybook scenes. Or I used to. Then the pandemic happened, and it hit me kinda hard. I couldn’t paint for a couple years, and I spent all my creative energy writing fanfic and roleplaying on discord servers.
I am finally starting to make art again, and I want to share my art here, but I only have, like, 17 friends following this account.
Evidence of my 17 friends:
So I thought: what the heck? Why not do a tumblr blaze and see what happens??
Please come be a part of my art with me, especially because I am doing something very new. I took my newfound love of writing and my old love of storybooks and I’ve been trying to make something I haven’t done before: my very own story that I am writing and illustrating.
Allow me to introduce you to Calico Jill and the Search for Cheese, a story about a little pirate who goes on a big adventure in a new city, in search of the tastiest of golden treasures: cheese! The story is a little bit about food deserts and a lot a bit about hope. She runs into obstacles and makes friends along the way. And I’d love to share her story with you! A new chapter is coming out each month, and you can read the first two chapters here:
Chapter 1 | Chapter 2
Please give me a follow and share any of the art on my blog that resonates with you. I really want to create heartfelt queer art that is a part of a community. I want my stories to touch your heart and strengthen you.

Her comfort zone is always growing, despite us passing some dogs and/or people occasionally, and when she feels like she "owns" the area you can note her tail. It's something she always does when we come back inside for a walk, the tail whips back and forth high up like "im the fuckin queen here". Just before going around the corner, I asked my bf "she's jogging so nice, do you think she'll whip her tail when we go around?" and she did 😍
