New on the easel, matching up this planned painting with something appropriately grand from my frame hoard. Hare sketched in, developing the background colour.

It is MerMay, and I am gonna do my best to draw a mermaid every day of the month. Here’s the first one, a little freebie, a little treat. www.patreon.com/posts/127928...

I did not realize my spouse has not listened to the phantom of the opera before and it is wild to introduce it to someone new.

Huge news on Patreon! Because of the Apple v. Epic ruling, they are not only dropping the 30% Apple Store charge on the iOS app, they are also halting the move to subscription billing for all creators - which would have affected creators like me, who use a "per video" structure than monthly.

i can finally share these! here is one of four west coast puzzle illustrations i did for pacific puzzle co. last year!! god the PNW colour palettes are *chefs kiss* #art

Last year my friend went to Denmark and I got jealous so this was an attempt to draw my envy away hahaha #art

Here's a quick little wizard I designed for a D&D one shot recently! Nym is a university student & partook in this adventure solely as a way to postpone finishing her thesis. Fun fact, the scarf functions as her spell book: each hand-stitched constellation represents a different spell. 🔮 #dndoc

One side effect of this terrifying time is that my neighbors have been introducing themselves more because they see us out walking the dogs so much. So Dottie has been seeing that as a good time to howl as they tell her it’s nice to meet her.

I've gotten vax lately on remembering to Post About My Shop so here are some of the pins I have in stock rn! 🙈 Http://abistevens.etsy.com #ArtShop #BSNM
