I was working on my art commission site and knew I wanted one of my illustrations to feature on it. I wasn’t about to draw another piece though in the middle of coding, so I opted to go for an older piece of mine, but update it with the colors I use for my Kelly …

July is usually one of the hardest months for me and this year was no exception. I found myself able to work a lot more than I normally do, but it was a huge emotional roller coaster for me the entire month and I ultimately found myself feeling very angry and just wanting to SCREAM. …
I wrote a ramble regarding how leading up to my birthday this year in March, I felt immensely thankful for myself, simply because I showed up. Because I showed up despite how I was feeling and after everything I’d been doing over the years, I was able to actually enjoy my birthday without the guilt …
I drew this piece for the “Thankful for Myself” ramble. I wanted something that represented both sides of me receiving a gift. I don’t really remember necessarily what section I originally intended this piece to be used in, but I used it in the “A Thing to Remember” section. I think it was mainly because …
I drew this for the “Thankful for Myself” ramble for the section entitled “I Don’t Deserve a Birthday”. Within that section, I talked about my relationship with my birthday prior to this year which can be boiled down to guilt about my own existence (something that isn’t prompted by anyone other than myself). I felt …
I drew this for “Thankful for Myself” ramble, but it’s actually a redraw of a piece from 2014 from the entry, “Burn Out”. In the “Thankful for Myself” ramble, I used this illustration under “What Changed Me”. I’ve been wanting to do a redraw of the exhausted piece from 2014 for a while now and …
Yes, I am starting a new series: Sketch Dump Mondays! I had considered doing “Sketch Dump Saturdays” or “Sketch Dump Sundays”, however, I determined “Sketch Dump Mondays” worked better with my work schedule. I start my week on Mondays – mainly due to my tracker and planners starting on that day. I even changed my digital …

Here’s something you might know about me: over the past few years, I’ve increasingly hated my artwork. *GASP* I KNOW, I KNOW, that is so shocking! Surprising! Okay, maybe not. But yes…I was hating my artwork. Or rather, I was very unsatisfied with it and it was making me grumpy! I fixed a part of …
(EDIT – 09/23/2021 – Psssst! Want to read Princess Angelica’s story? The rough draft is now available for FREE! You can read it NOW!) Princess Angelica is one of my oldest characters. She’s not as old as Kelly is, as Kelly is from ELEMENTARY school, but she’s still pretty old. I created her in Middle School …
I would say I haven’t drawn Clyde in quite a while, but that’s not true. I actually drew his character sheet, which is done. I’ll post it once I start posting stories. Just like the Sadia & Flavio picture, I was inspired to draw Clyde after writing about him in my short stories. He’s honestly …
I was working on one of my short stories and it featured my character Sadia, who is a “dolly” (think Frankenstein’s monster except not made from parts of different people) as the main character. My other character you see in this piece is Flavio, who also showed up in the story. You can probably imagine …

Halloween was coming up and I wanted to draw something appropriate for the season because…why not? I don’t have the best relationship with Halloween – it soured for me in 2009, the same year conventions were soured for me – but I felt…I don’t know, a bit more upbeat about the 2020 Halloween season for no …
