A pile of black cat latte mugs. These will be available at a café in Montreal. They’re special because I didn’t make them - I asked a (more experienced + local) potter friend to make the mugs and then I painted them with black cats :) thoughts ?

Started a painting for today's #septempera but didn't finish it in time so day 04 is this quick chicken sketch.

here's how this batch was made, 1. watercolor originals as a base 2. interesting parts and pieces of the originals were selected and a new place to fit in is found 3. rinse, repeat as necessary

one more tiny tiny love letter to doors, doorways and other very fine portals: I made a kit out of the watercolor originals and had a blast discovering new door after door after door :)

Introducing Emlyn

One more tiny painting for day 14 of #septempera - mulot sur pomme.

Kitties!

close ups for the first, pencils for the second. real fun to do the tiny tiny doors, they had already been designed and painted a lil larger, so compressing the information further was a fun challenge but also quick and easy :)

Day 11 of #septempera - acorn thief. I managed to keep things pretty loose so I'm happy 😊

A dream of the fields study

4th generation was really fun and further and further from the source. I found myself working on this kit a few winters in a row ...

Last of the 3rd generation and all it's separated parts:

the 3rd generation left the paths behind and became it's own wilder and wilder jungle:

Here's the first one deconstructed so you can see all the parts <3

Here's the 2nd generation built with the watercolor assets below; sticking with the theme of overgrown paths

a tiny tiny love letter to the overgrown paths of late spring; I can't wait to see you again <3 3"x4" graphite, watercolor and colored pencil --- Keep an eye out this week to see how far I pushed this original with kit collage <3

fun I think, to see the watercolor roots (harhar) now; next to the digital scenes a few generations removed
