I kinda sorta missed the "before the end of the year part" but the spirit is still there! 🐌✨
There's always one 😭😭😭
Been stuck on a painting for a couple weeks. But it's been a luxury to indulge in some personal works now that I'm caught up on professional projects and other obligations! Trying to delve deeper into storytelling with my illustrations lately.
Bought a book at a Scholastic Book Fair today ... How's THAT for nostalgic?
(PS... New books for $3 🥰 felt like the good ol' days)

This entire series is so so cute (the ghost was my favourite but they're all excellent)
Haha I saw and was gonna message you about it and I was like ... Nah ... She knows
#rattober 25 - "Gourd Rat" 🎃 #rattober2025
#rattober 24 - "Blueberry Rat" 💙 #rattober2025
I love the idea of these so much but I'm too much of a baby to watch
Today's #rattober! I tried my hand at "Abstract Rat" at work today but I think I still went a little more representational than originally intended 😅 #rattober2025

this is soooo cute!!! i love when you can tell when an artist is drawing inspiration from real life. it feels so full of heart :)
I've been chipping away slowly at this one in between other projects! It's close ... just gotta paint in the rest of the background/foreground and polish it up a little. I'm excited to finish it up!
Going to be taking a little break from Rattober for now to work on a few commissions and portfolio pieces, but I'm sure I'll be sneaking a few more ratties in before the end of the month, one way or another 🤭
omggg that illustration with all the little kitties in the bed 😭❤️
