Sometimes in life you've gotta draw a genie that's based on Lady GaGa. Don't blame me. Blame the inevitability of existence. This was ink and watercolor with a bit of assistance from Photoshop.

This vampire is afraid of heights! He was done in ink wash, ballpoint, and white gel pen in my sketchbook.

I took a doodle and sort of turned it into a mandala. I did my best, and I think that counts for something.

Here are 4 assorted pages! Just a bunch of stuff. You know how it is.

These were sketched in pencil, then gone over in ink and watercolor!

I'm trying some new techniques out. Not sure I like either of them, particularly, but one has to try occasionally.

Have you ever felt like you were scratching at the surface of a breakthrough? I'm in the middle of what might be something major or might be nothing at all.

This collage is entitled "The Final Voyage of the Bunny." I don't know who he is, or why it's called that, or why it feels so sad.

Due to financial/logistical reasons, I can't do literal linocuts as often as I'd like, so I draw my illustrations in reverse, flip them digitally, have them printed, and then color them in by hand. The result is basically an "artist's print". I only make one of each. These were watercolor, but I've recently discovered gouache, so keep an eye out for future pieces that incorporate that.

My sketchbook isn't quite up to the challenge of the sheer amount of paint I dump into it, but that's OK. We forgive each other. Hope everyone enjoys these spooky goodies!

"If I die, I'm taking you with me," Ebineezer whispered into Slasher's gaping, drooling maw. The explosion was heard for miles around.

Get lost in the symmetry, maaaaan!

My current sketchbook is the lovingly titled "Blue Sketchbook." Feel free to enjoy its many, many pages, plus two bonus zoom-ins of favorite spreads! Let me know if you have any questions.

These are the first of the collage set. I like the later ones a little better but they're sort of interesting and fun anyway.

I'm working on a series of childhood stuffed animals versus child monsters (i.e. the safety of home vs the real world and its bullies). I haven't done the monsters yet, but here are the stuffed animals. I drew them from memory as opposed to referencing what Cheer Bear and Rainbow Brite's dog looked like. I looked after. I didn't get them quite right. That's OK; I think the wonkiness adds to the charm. These are drawn in reverse for a woodcut effect, then scanned and printed and gone over with gouache and watercolor.

My husband LOVES the Baby Spider.

This fellow is ready for his school portrait! Ballpoint, ink wash, watercolor, and white gel pen in my sketchbook.

I drew some dogs on commission for a friend (the simpler Corgis), then wound up messing around after I'd scanned them. Dogs dogs dogs. As far as the snout can sniff.

Being the census taker for rabbits, in particular, must be a demanding job.

I've begun cutting apart my old sketchbooks and glueing them back together. The results of which are sometimes more interesting than the old drawings themselves. This saint is my favorite of my most recent bunch. She's the prettiest Christmas tree of all.

When I was working on my new bullet journal, a friend asked, "oh god, are you one of those people now?" Yes. Yes I am.
