Raccoon on the back of an arm chair looking over a young boy’s shoulder, eagerly point at the book the child is reading, about raccoons. The arm chair is on a circular rug with tassels, and near them is a small table with more books strewn about

“HEY! THAT’S ME!”
Trying to start drawing more lil scenes, and having a lot of fun doing it! Favorite bits of this one include: the kid’s wittle face, the rug tassels, a bright blue armchair, and that internal book design lol jk on that last one🤣🤠 #kidsillustration #childrenillustration #kidslibrary

Grid of nine images, central image is a picture of the artist (silly face, red hair, and glasses) and the other 8 images are different pieces created by the artist in 2024

I wish I’d had more pieces to choose from this year, so I’m super excited to work on devoting more of my time to creating in 2025 🤠 #artvsartist

Photo of cookie boxes arranged in a diagonal pattern, with an illustrated label listing the different types of goodies inside

Image of Michelle and Carson’s Holiday Goodie Box label, with illustrations of Michelle, Carson, snowflakes and holly. Goodies listed are red velvet cookies, rosemary-thyme rice krispies, cinnamon roll cookies, chocolate fudge, butterscotch fudge, cranberry orange cookies, m&m rolo pretzels, chess squares, s’mores truffle balls, and peppermint bark.

Since I got a stand mixer as a wedding gift, our neighbors got a lot of holiday goodies! 🎄🤶🏻✨ It was so nice to get back into baking! And Carson gets credited bc of all his help washing dishes, and putting Rolos on pretzels 🤣🤣🤣

OMG CUTENESS OVERLOAD don’t tempt me more 😅😅

Image of a brunette woman smiling while holding her cat in the crook of her arm.

My comfort level drawing cats just keeps increasing, soooo mmmmmmmmaybe that means i need to adopt one finally?!!? 👀

A female elf with pink hair, red dress and shoes, and fishnet stockings is sitting on one leg and resting her elbow on the other raised knee. In that elbow’s hand, she is holding a skull with a santa hat on. She has a mischievous facial expression.

I bake a lot for the holidays & I then run out of time to do Christmas-y art! So here’s an elf holding potentially Santa’s head??? that i drew in 2022! or maybe she’s just giving that speech from Othello or Hamlet or whatever. Who’s to say?!!?!?! I obviously know my Shakespeare very well 😂

Snort omg

Suuuper helpful, thanks kiddo! Lol #kitlitillustration

My sweet wonderful sunshine husband was playing Stardew Valley, and when I asked him what that sound was I’m still 98.9% sure he said “I’m harvesting my crocs!” And so this illustration was born, thanks for coming along for the journey lol 😅🤣

A happy witch dancing around and singing while using her wand to make items (lamp, book, pencils, clock, plant) and a stressed-looking mouse fly around her library.

Ok so i don’t think this app likes me posting videos haha so here’s one of my favorite witchy OCs, and her poor house mouse 🖤✨🤣 #artistsofbluesky #characterdesign #characterart

I’m doing my very bestest to keep my whimsy, curiosity, and wonder afloat in a chaotic country/world—and art always helps. Here’s hoping that changes are good & soon! 🖤
