I created the requested sequel to my previous short video. Hope y'all like it! #resincats #cats #catart #puppettheatre #funny #lighthearted #indietoys #catfigurines #collectibles

There's nothing like making toys by hand, and then ... just ... playing with them! #indietoys #catart #resinart #resincasting #fantasy #cats #mermaids #purrmaids #catbattle

I made an adorable tortie purrmaid figurine, by pouring alternate resin colors into the mold. Afterwards, I spent a long time giving her seed bead accessories. This rare kitty figurine can be found in my shop! #tortoiseshell #cat #art #resinart #mermaid #fantasyart #handmade #OOAK #beadart

"The Debut." This festive feline scene was painted with Golden acrylics onto a 20"x16" wrapped cotton canvas. This piece has been sold, and is on its way home. #impressionism #painting #art #cats #felinefashion #catinadress #dancingcats #catart #blackkitten #whitecats #traditionalart #originalart

Whew! It's been awhile since I've been on here—I just got back from a long road trip. Somehow, despite the chaos, I finished a batch of resin cat figurines. You can buy them here: bazaar.brutalsun.com/collections/... #cats #art #resin #figurines #fantasy #colorful #cute #kitties #handmade

The unicorn cat's auction closed with no bids, even though the auction started at only $100. I didn't wallow. Instead I sanded the unicorn cat down, and repainted the board with ... Gary! You can bid on Gary here: bazaar.brutalsun.com/products/gar... #art #snailcat #acrylicpainting #fantasyart

Here is the unicorn cat again, this time painted traditionally using acrylics. It is a 14"x11". I named it, "Sundance". Until tomorrow night, you can bid on this original painting here: bazaar.brutalsun.com/products/sun... #art #cats #unicorncats #acrylicpainting #traditionalart #originalpainting

Remember the sloppy sketch I did of a unicorn cat earlier? Here is the completed digital version. Now, I'm gonna paint this traditionally, using acrylics. #art #drawingcats #digitalart #wip #catart #unicorncat #unicat #fantasycatart #artstudy

Finally, got some mermaid kitties cast. Won't be too many of these. Making their mold was utter hell. Which is a shame, because these are so dang cute! You can snap them up here: bazaar.brutalsun.com/collections/... #figurines #resinart #purrmaids #cats #mermaidcats #merkitty #catart #moldmaking

Unless I’m using photo references, all my traditional cat paintings start like this: a sloppy scribble on my computer. I’m thrilled to say I’m no longer drawing with a mouse, as I did for decades. I finally have a Wacom tablet and pen. Drawing is fun again! (Continued in image ALT ➡️)

"I Am the Storm," acrylics, 11"x14" The auction for this wonderful, witchy original painting ends at noon on Sunday. Starts at $100, no reserve. You can bid on it here: bazaar.brutalsun.com/products/i-a... #art #artforsale #catart #blackcat #witchcat #witchcraft #halloween #airbrushart #cats

"Everyday Magic," acrylics, 11"x14" I thought this was the perfect cozy-yet-creepy painting to share as the days start to cool. Well, for much of the northern hemisphere anyway—not here in Tucson, where it’s still hellishly hot. Honestly? (Continued in image ALT ➡️)

A prototype I'm working on. It will look cute instead of creepy with glass eyes in. #wip #polymerclay #catart #sculpting #art #prototype #clay #merkitty #purrmaid #cats #traditionalart #armature #creativity #mermaidcats #mermaids #sculpture #resincasting

"Duty", acrylics, 9"x12" I was damn proud of this painting when I finished it. It captured the true spirit of litter box cleaning: two cats waiting for the box to be fresh, so they can christen it with poop ... while their owner looks heavenward like she might puke. (Continued in image ALT ➡️)

Y'all, I accidentally pushed the Instagram button on my tablet the other night. And I was reminded why I deserted Meta. I was served addictive reel after real, keeping me up half the night. But I didn't see a single reel from someone I actually know. Felt soulless. #ByeMeta #LeavingMeta

Just finished a batch of sparkly vibrant resin kitties. Each cat was cast from pressurized resin using a mold I made myself (as in, I sculpted the prototype). Each features hand-painted eyes. And each features a handmade beaded necklace. These cats in the shop: bazaar.brutalsun.com/collections/...

For the tiny royalty in your life, this pink toddler tee features my painting Cinderella, a fluffy black cat dashing from the ball (she’s already lost 3 of 4 slippers!). Perfect for wee princesses who love a little mischief. bazaar.brutalsun.com/products/tod...

I got these resin kitty totems, among other delights, available to buy in my shop! bazaar.brutalsun.com/collections/...

"Tidestar," acrylics, 11"x14" Another fantastical mermaid kitty. It's funny. I just got a new laptop, and I'm not accustomed to how all my work looks on its monitor. I feel this painting wasn't quite so yellow-tinted in real life. 😐

"The Red Queen," acrylics, 11"x14" I painted this together with Crimson Majesty, using the same palette for both paintings. #acrylicpainting #art #cats #paintingcats #catart #goldenacrylics

"Crimson Majesty," acrylics, 11"x14" I love painting horses of another color! This was painted with Golden acrylics. I used airbrushing, splatters, and thick brushstrokes to pull it together. #horseart #redhorse #deserthorse #equineart #fantasyhorse #acrylicpainting #paintinghorses #arabianhorse

"The Cat Artist", acrylics, 14"x11" This little monk loved painting cats! It's all he ever did. He was chided for painting them all over the paper walls. Until one night, his cat paintings came alive and protected the— (Continued in image ALT ➡️)

Just finished a new painting. Currently available to bid on on my website. $100 starting price, no reserve. youtu.be/GWc8XGx9x2I?... #purrmaid #art #paintingcats #acrylicart #fantasy #cats

I just finished making some resin cats. Handmade, from a mold I made myself from a prototype I sculpted myself. Each of these has a tiny moon inside its translucent chest. They all have hand-painted eyes. You can buy them on my website here: www.brutalsun.com/sales/index.h...

"Sleeping Beauty," acrylics, 10"x8" It's been hard getting onto social media and posting regularly. Do any of you other artists have this issue? I painted this fast and loose and even used a palette knife at times to work paint onto the canvas.

"Sparkles," acrylics, 10" x 8" I painted this after watching the Barbie movie. Not that I ever need much of a nudge to make pink things. I love pink! It's a defiant upbeat color in a hard serious world. #pinkcat #cats #art #painting #acrylics #traditionalart #barbiepink #swimmingpool #summer

Here are few of the resin cats I have just posted on my website. If you buy multiples I can combine shipping. You can purchase these artisan cats here: www.brutalsun.com/sales/index.... #artforsale #resin #moldmaking #ooak #cats #art #figurines #collectibles #kitty #feline #catart #handmade

"Pink Planet," mixed media, ~3" tall I cast this cat from resin using my exclusive "Destiny" mold. And then I painted a fun graphic retro sci fi motif on her. Her finishing touch was a seed bead headband. I need to paint more like these!

"Jewel and the Jellyfish," acrylics, 8"x10" I like this painting I did a decade ago. Which is remarkable, because I hate most things I paint the second I remove them from the easel. In this painting I.... (Continued in image ALT ➡️)

"Spirit," acrylics and soft pastels, 5"x5" I painted this years ago. Eleven, to be precise. It took me twenty solid hours. TWENTY hours! For a tiny little five inch painting. It's crazy to think I could.... (Continued in image ALT ➡️)

"Princess Fluffybelle," resin, ~3" tall This adorable Persian cat was hand cast from resin using a mold I made myself. As of this post, she's available on my website (www.brutalsun.com/sales/index....) for only $35. A steal, considering... (Continued in image ALT ➡️)

"Fire and Ice," mixed media, ~3" tall I cast these cats with one of my exclusive molds. After they were good and cast, I installed tiny glass eyes on them. I did this by drilling open eye sockets. I used.... (Continued in image ALT ➡️)

Metallic Egyptian Cats, mixed media, ~3" tall These were a lot of fun to make. I cast them from resin using one of my exclusive molds. And then they were painted and adorned with seed bead jewelry. I failed.... (Continued in image ALT ➡️)

"Pink Panther," acrylics, 10"x8" I use this painting for tiny icons a lot. Why? Because when it's shrunk down to small sizes it still looks like a pink kitty. The lights and shadows are.... (Continued in image ALT ➡️)

"The Phoenix," polymer clay, 3.25" tall I sculpted this pretty kitty from polymer clay. This was before my airbrush days. back then, I used to.... (Continued in image ALT ➡️)

"Pura Vida," polymer clay, 2.5 " tall I spent a good chunk of my childhood in Costa Rica. A popular saying there is, "pura vida." "Pura vida" translates to "pure life" in English, but it's much more than a literal translation. It's.... (Continued in image ALT ➡️)

Finished the narwhal kitty! Starting price is $100, no reserve. He's available to bid on here: www.brutalsun.com/sales/index....

"Plumeria," mixed media, ~3" tall This resin cat was cast from one of my exclusive molds. I then spent a few hours painting this ocean scene on her. #cat #art #plumeria #handmade #handpainted #resin #figurine #ooak #original #oceanscene #artdoll #sculpture

Something I'm working on today. I hope to paint this fast and loose; to let my chaos explode. Don't know if I'll succeed. But I'll try! 💪

✨🌴"The Sultana," acrylics, 9"x12"🌴✨ This was the very first painting I ever sold. It went mildly viral about 10 years ago, and remains my best selling print to date.

Some close ups of some of the kitties I put on my website last night. As of this posting, these 4 are still available. You can get them here: www.brutalsun.com/sales/index....

I just finished up a billion resin cats! Okay. Maybe I'm being hyperbolic. But still, it's a lot for me! LOL. They range from $100 to $30. You can check them out here: www.brutalsun.com/sales/index....

"Gothic Spring," mixed media, 3" tall I cast this wee kitty from resin, using an exclusive mold. And then I painted her with acrylics and soft pastels. #cats #art #resin #ooak #goth #butterflies #spring #figurine #seedbeadjewelry #freehand #miniatureart #collectible #resincraft #moldmaking

In the Witcher series on Netflix, there's a scene where Yennefer, a sorceress, is in a seemingly hopeless battle. Her mentor tells her to unleash her bottled-up chaos. Yennefer does just that, to devastating effect. This is exactly how I feel when.... Continued in image ALT ▶️

"Little Red," acrylics, 9"x12" Happy Caturday, y'all! Thought you'd enjoy seeing my painting of red riding hood on this fine day. I'm often pushing myself to paint in bigger, looser, more expressive brushstrokes. You know, embrace my inner chaos. Sadly, I rarely.... Continued in pic ALT ▶️

"Modern Art," mixed media, ~3" tall I cast this kitty from resin, using one of my exclusive handmade molds. And then I painted her to resemble the kind of paintings my gramma had on her wall. 😂 #cats #modernart #resinart #ooak #figurine #resincat #kitty #feline #moldmaking

🍊Tangerine Dream,🍊 acrylics, 8"x10" I love painting princess kitties dripping in bling. Especially when they look into your soul with serene all-knowing gazes! 😄
