Happy Year of the Horse! Also happy Zelda 40th Anniversary!

My fairy Pokémon pocket world is finally done! (Shared it on IG but forgot to share it here) Please enjoy the fairies frolicking in the moonlight ~

Bringing you the Straw Hat pirates from One Piece! Luffy and the gang are on their 1155th adventure with lots of fighting and eating~ I couldn't fit all of One Piece into a singular piece so I’m breaking it down into the different ships/crews. Who would you want to see next?

Also, Anime Washington this weekend, I’m debuting my two new pieces! Fairy Pokemon and One Piece!

A little animation practice of Tortle crying like his hero Frieren… it’s better when you add the audio of Frieren crying for 3 days straight to it.

I'll be at Anime Washington in Puyallup this weekend! Come find me at AA table F-1! I'll be debuting some new pieces, so be sure to stop by and check them out!

this is so freaking cute www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP1E...

Merry Christmas everyone!

Christmas is swiftly approaching! >< if you’d like to share some pocket worlds with your friends and family, get your online orders in today or tomorrow to receive them by the 25th! Link to shop in my bio. Big shoutout to USPS for all their hard work getting everyone’s packages delivered!

Hey friends, just wanted to say I’m at GeekGirlCon this weekend! I also made this really cool piece for the show since it’s their 15th year!

i'm loving these little pocket mons, feels like a tiny little chunk off my bigger, more complex pocket worlds. hoping to do more like these with other characters, not just pokemon

My hubby is really into pokemon cards, so really these are his ideas lol, I just brought them to life.

I drew myself as a snom mom with slowpoke and chaotic tandemaus ~ there’s also 2 hidden pokemon in here too. Can you find them?

Hey friends! Sorry for being so bad at posting here… but I recently vended at Seattle’s first Card Party event hosted by DeepPocketMonster! It was a lot of fun but also kinda crazy (purely by choice lol). There were so many pokemon cards and I drew a lot of things for this event just because

big big thanks to everyone who came to support me at FanX Salt Lake this past week! it was a fun new experience and i hope to see you again in the future!

i'll be at FanX Salt Lake in the artist alley at A501 next weekend

A lot of you have been asking about my online store, and it feels kind of blasphemy that I don’t have one up yet… but it’s coming! Sometime soon! So please stay tuned. I’ll have more announcements when we get closer to launching. Thanks for your patience!!

Tortle thoroughly enjoyed his time in Portland from selling his pirate pins, to meeting the locals, and sampling all the delicious cuisine.

Big thanks to everyone who came to support me at Rose City Comic Con this past weekend! It was great seeing so many returning customers and delighting those of you who are new to my art.

Just finished this commission! This is a pocket world based on the book Mr. Smith and the Roach by author J.J. DiBenedetto. It’s about a retired cop who teams up with a 6’ talking roach on their quest to solve the problem of a missing pension that leads to a deeper, more foul plot.

Did some animal doodles today

2024 was my first time at Fanime, and it was their 30th anniversary so i doodled me and Tortle in a little race car to match their theme of the year. i wanted to do another doodle for this year, but ran out of time. the theme was super cute tho with a japanese summer festival theme.

also, this was my latest piece to debut at Fanime! my next new original piece in my animals in japan series, Shibuya Streets! lots of little details to see, but definitely check out the cute little tour group of dogs visiting the Hachiko statue.

sorry i forgot to post here that i was at fanime this past weekend! but hi everyone who found me from fanime! thanks for the support and welcome!

in case you didn't see it, i posted my post-sakura con recap here: www.instagram.com/p/DJKXj2pyxh...

big big thanks to everyone who came to my booth this weekend! i plan to do a post-con recap later cuz this year's sakura con was so crazy. but big welcome to all you new followers!
