Hello! It's been a while I did, in fact, keep up with & finish my year long art challenge for 2025 !! 🫡 it was just particularly hard on me to post it everywhere all at once. I'm currently posting 10 artworks a day on Instagram until I'm caught up, then I'll do the same on here! See you then!

for our 13th anniversary, we wanted to host a Pokémon themed party. Little did I know, this would be the setting for my proposal 🥹 it's always been a childhood dream of mine to get proposed with via a blue feather, just like in Harvest Moon AWL #Pokémon #Pokemonparty #engagement #Pikachu #engaged

and that's it! With the "swamp" faerie, this year's Februfairy art challenge is officially over 🎉 I'm pleased with the turnout, & I'm happy to be moving onto another prompt for March 💚 #art #traditionalart #fairydolem #swamp #fae #faerie #fairy #fairyart #artchallenge #coloredpencil #sketchbook

this was one of the themes I was looking forward to most of all from this prompt, "fall" 🍂 #art #traditionalart #fairydolem #fall #fae #faerie #fairy #fairyart #artchallenge #coloredpencil #sketchbook #artjournal

the theme for this one was "strong", which I had a harder time coming up with an idea for tbh. The wings were my favorite part of working on this 💪 #art #traditionalart #fairydolem #strong #fae #faerie #fairy #fairyart #artchallenge #coloredpencil #sketchbook #artjournal

I've been really busy the last few days, but I finally managed to get caught up 😭 this one was themed "healing", so she's helping heal an injured egg 🐦 #art #traditionalart #fairydolem #healing #fae #faerie #fairy #fairyart #artchallenge #coloredpencil #sketchbook #artjournal

the theme for 2-24-25 was "fly", so I went with a butterfly fae 🦋🧚‍♂️ as you can see, I'm still thriving in my streaks of light era 😌✨️ #art #traditionalart #fairydolem #artchallenge #fae #faerie #fairy #fly #butterfly #butterflyfairy #sketchbook #artjournal #coloredpencil #prismacolor

yippie wahoo I'm officially caught up again 🥳 today's theme was "water", so I took inspiration from the tarot card The Star from my deck 🌟 #art #traditionalart #fairydolem #fae #faerie #fairyart #februfairy #faebruary #coloredpencil #sketchbook #artjournal #water #thestar #tarot #artchallenge

the theme for 2-22 was "green", so I took it as an opportunity to draw Cloverleaf 🥰🍀🧚‍♂️ as always, I'm missing being at festival extra this time of year #art #traditionalart #fairydolem #fairy #faerie #fae #faebruary #februfairy #cloverleaf #green #sketchbook #artjournal #coloredpencil #artchallenge

something a little more simple for 2-21-25, with "horn". I liked that I did a different perspective with this one 💚 #art #traditionalart #fairydolem #februfairy #faebruary #fae #faerie #fairy #horn #mushrooms #nature #fantasy #sketchbook #artjournal #artchallenge

I combined the themes for 2/19 & 2/20 ("tall" + "flower") for this spread page. They're playing in a flower field and looking for the tallest flower 🌼 #art #traditionalart #fairydolem #februfairy #faebruary #fae #faerie #fairy #tall #flower #coloredpencil #sketchbook #artjournal #artchallenge

the theme for 2-18-25 is "elder". This is another drawing I wish I could spend a few days really pushing the value range. Gotta keep moving forward tho #art #traditionalart #fairydolem #februfairy #faebruary #fae #fairy #faerie #elder #elderfairy #coloredpencil #sketchbook #artjournal #artchallenge

the theme for 2-17-25 was "warrior" 💚 still playing catch up with these, looking to finish one more for today. The next theme will be "elder" #art #traditionalart #fairydolem #faebruary #februfairy #fae #fairy #faerie #warrior #buffalo #coloredpencil #sketchbook #artjournal #artchallenge

the theme for 2-16 was "mischief" 🤔 I went with a cute pink character that started a huge fire 🔥 as a prank. She also uses time magic to go back and restore damages #art #traditionalart #fairydolem #artchallenge #fae #fairy #faerie #fire #mischief #sketchbook #coloredpencil #faebruary #februfairy

the theme for 2-15-25 was "underground", so I made a faerie version of this meme since it was what immediately came to mind 👀 #art #traditionalart #fairydolem #faebruary #februfairy #sketchbook #artchallenge #underground #artjournal #meme #fanart #coloredpencil #fae #fairy #faerie

the theme of "traveler" resulted in this 💚 I took inspiration from the tarot card The Fool, since it was the first thing to come to mind #art #traditionalart #fairydolem #fairyart #fairy #fae #faerie #februfairy #faebruary #traveler #thefool #artchallenge #coloredpencil #sketchbook #artjournal

happy to be caught up again :) today's theme is "mammal", and a friend helped me decide on selkie/seals. I think the orange & green are very striking together 🧡💚🦭 #art #traditionalart #artchallenge #fairydolem #fairy #fae #faerie #mammal #seal #selkie #sketchbook #artjournal #faebruary #februfairy

I finished up the big spread page for 2-11 & 2-12 (with themes of "hiding" + "mushroom") 🧚‍♂️🍄🧚‍♂️ gotta get started on today's theme of "mammal" now 🤔 #art #traditionalart #fairydolem #februfairy #faebruary #fairy #fae #faerie #hideandseek #mushrooms #sketchbook #artjournal #artchallenge #coloredpencil

todays fae theme is "scale" so I drew a dragon themed character 🐉 with some dragon scales #art #traditionalart #coloredpencil #scale #dragon #artchallenge #fairydolem #februfairy #faebruary #fae #fairy #faerie #sketchbook #artjournal #dragonfae #dragonscales

for today's theme of "insect", I went with a ladybug 🐞 and I think they turned out so stylish and cool! #art #traditionalart #ladybug #insect #fae #fairy #faerie #fairydolem #februfairy #faebruary #artchallenge #sketchbook #artjournal #coloredpencil

I really liked drawing her stained glass wings 🧚‍♂️ the first thing to come to mind when I thought of "swift" was the pokemon move, so I had to go with a shooting star theme 💫 #art #traditionalart #artchallenge #fairydolem #fairy #fae #faerie #swift #februfairy #faebruary #sketchbook #galaxy

the theme for 2-7-25 is a "winter" fae, and with how cold the weather has been lately, I'd say it's an appropriate one. I really enjoyed inking the feathers and tiny details on the owl #art #traditionalart #fairydolem #artchallenge #winter #winterfae #fairy #faerie #fae #faebruary #februfairy #snow

the theme for today, 2-6-25, is "thief" so of course I was legally obligated to make a raccoon faerie 🦝🧚‍♂️ I had a lot of fun with this drawing in particular 🥰 #art #traditionalart #artchallenge #februfairy #faebruary #fae #fairy #faerie #raccoon #thief #raccoonfairy #sketchbook #artjournal

today's #faebruary prompt is "hungry", so I drew a faerie who had sleep for dinner. Don't worry tho, her mouse familiar found them a slice of cheese to share! 🧀🐁 #art #traditionalart #hungry #fairyart #fairydolem #februfairy #sketchbook #artjournal #artchallenge #coloredpencil

I combined the themes for 2/3, "slow" & 2/4 "tree" to make a spread page 🥰 I think it turned out pretty cool, but I need to start making these a little more simple so I can start working on other projects, too 💀 #art #traditionalart #slow #tree #faebruary #artchallenge #coloredpencil #sketchbook

the theme for today's fae drawing was "ride", so I drew a cute elf excitedly riding on the back of a hummingbird. I'd like to imagine that elves would be pretty excited to experience flight ✨️ #art #traditionalart #artchallenge #artjournal #ride #elf #fae #hummingbird #bird #coloredpencil

Day 1 for this month is Darkness! I've been playing Tales of Symphonia again lately and I used the Summon Spirit Shadow's color coord for inspiration when I colored this :) #art #traditionalart #faebruary #darkness #darkfaerie #fairy #fae #artchallenge #darkfairy

February's art challenge theme is faeries/other fae creatures! I'll be bouncing back and forth between traditional and digital art for this month #artchallenge #faebruary #drawingprompt #art #fae #faeries #februfairy

the final art journal entry of the month had to be something special, so I saved drawing mine & Tony's Willies awards for the grand finale 🥰 drawing this has my heart longing and yearning for festival once again #art #traditionalart #coloredpencil #sketchbook #artjournal #artchallenge #stilllife

Today's art journal entry is a mere fraction of my raccoon collection Just one day left for January's art challenge theme! I already have the last day's subject planned, I've been waiting to do it as a finale #art #traditionalart #raccoon #artchallenge #inkdrawing #sketchbook #artjournal #collage

today's art journal entry is my #fivenightsatfreddys plush collection, minus my Marionette plush, who is hiding out somewhere in my home. I'd better go find her before the music box runs out 😰 #art #traditionalart #fnaf #artjournal #sketchbook #coloredpencil #artchallenge #fanart #stilllife

I wanted to do something a little more simple after that big collage from last time. Today we have Sakura Miku, a plush tokidoki that I got for free, and a gen2 MLP (Sundance) :3 #art #traditionalart #artjournal #sketchbook #sakuramiku #mikuhatsune #tokidoki #mlp #mylittlepony #gen2mlp #Sundance

my animation raffle is still active until the 31st, if anyone else wants to enter 🥰

Yesterday made my heart so happy and full ❤️ thank you to all my friends, family and anyone who stopped by the gallery yesterday!! Got pics with *almost* everyone!

yesterday's + today's art this is probably the most fun and enjoyable art journal entry theme that I've done so far 🥰 Cats vs Pickles is my favorite thing to collect and I get genuine joy from drawing them #art #traditionalart #catsvspickles #artjournal #coloredpencil #collection #hyperfixation

on the 25th, Tony, Ned, and I stopped by to see @walkinggraffiti.bsky.social's exhibit & one of the displays was an interactive trinket trading arrangement. I drew all 3 of the objects we obtained as a group from that day :) #art #traditionalart #artjournal #sketchbook #inkdrawing #artchallenge

art journal entries for 1-24-25 were drawings of me modeling some of my favorite hats 👒🧢🤠 #art #traditionalart #artjournal #sketchbook #inkdrawing #artchallenge #hats #coolhats #selfportrait #fashion #altfashion

"draw this again" meme of Koto from Yu Yu Hakusho with freckles 🦊🥰 2015 vs 2025 I remember the older drawing was one of my first digital arts, back when I accidentally did everything on the same layer and knew much less about color theory #koto #yuyuhakuaho #fanart #art #digitalart #drawthisagain

today's art journal entry features a handful of my tiny trinkets from my work desk (that is currently entirely overtaken by my bean cat collection 👀) #art #traditionalart #artchallenge #artjournal #sketchbook #inkdrawing #trinkets #treasures #toys #stilllife #practice #penandink

sorry I keep falling behind with these, I've been going back and forth with poor health conditions, and it's been rough. Despite not feeling well, I'm determined to push myself to reach my art goals, even if they take longer. #art #traditionalart #artchallenge #artjournal #sketchbook #inkdrawing

My show “We Will Fluoresce Together” is up at Buckham Gallery until February 15th! I will be in the gallery all day Jan. 25th and during the Flint Artwalk on Feb. 14th (6-9PM) if you’d like to chat about the art.

yesterday's + today's art journal entries are matching illustrations of my Pikachu plush pile (plus Mimikyu & a tiny maid Raichu for aesthetic) #art #traditionalart #pokemon #Pikachu #fanart #artchallenge #sketchbookart #artjournal #coloredpencil

yesterday's + today's art journal entries will be another spread page, and it'll be very detailed! And hopefully make up for the fact that I fell behind a bit. My health hasn't been too great the last few days, but I've been pacing myself as to not fall too far behind with this art challenge 🥲

art journal drawings for the 19th, this time it's my hamster plushes. Hamsters were one of my earliest hyperfixations as a child 🐹 #art #traditionalart #sketchbookart #artjournal #artchallenge #hamster #hamsters #inkdrawing #toys #plushes

today's art journal entry is my turtle collection 🐢 once upon a time, turtles used to actually be my favorite animal, more than raccoons 😳 that was from 5th - 8th grade though, eventually my love for raccoons prevailed #artchallenge #art #traditionalart #turtles #plushies #artjournal #toys

eventually when I'm passed January's still life theme, the remainder of my journal can be used for whatever kind of art I want. I'm really inspired by this style of art journaling, I want to record thoughts and feelings with the captured moment, as well 🥹
