This is my custom portrait of Artie the adorable Mini Bernedoodle! This portrait will eventually become a reflective foiled print, and this particular style helps foil release cleanly from the paper.

Some cute animal sketches I did with my Sailor Fude de Mannen 55 degrees fountain pen! Super smooth, maybe too smooth.

Sketchbook page with the text at the top saying Pelikan Edelstein Moonstone. The line below say Sailor Fude de Mannen - 55 degrees. There are six animal faces drawn on the page, with the names of the animals written next to most of them. Top left is the face of a slow loris, to the right is the face and front legs of an opossum, and to the top right is the face of a quokka. The bottom left has the text, Sailor is way smoother than Jinhao 159. To the right of the text is The drawing of a face of a raccoon, and to the right of that is a small cartoon crow. To the right of that is the text, not a fan of Moonstone for drawing 5/14/24. Bottom right has a drawing of a frog grasping a stone.

One of my first paintings with color back in late 2022. I had only done monochromatic drawings most of my life, and wanted to teach myself color and painting. This is basically a colored drawing, and a big first step! It's called, "Cozy Cat."

Painting of a cat lounging in the sun on a comfortable chair. To the left is a plant and above the chair are two windows. The @joyousjoyfuljoyness watermark is at the top right.

This is my custom portrait of Mylow the cute Golden Retriever! This portrait will eventually become a dimensional foiled print, and this special style helps foil release cleanly from the paper.

Detox Doodles!

This is a habit of drawing something every time I feel the urge to scroll unnecessarily. It helps stop the bad habit and start a new good habit of sketching daily!

This page is all about elephant shrews and their schnozzes!

Sketchbook page of elephant shrews and dated 5/18/25. There are 8 shrews drawn in blue ink. Top of the page are two with long noses and the words "schnozzzzz." Below them is a couple tiny ones and one facing the viewer and one in profile ("honker"). At the bottom is a yelling one ("hear me roar"), a tiny one, and a medium sized one with a heart.

This is my custom foiled portrait of Edge the adorable ginger kitty!

My high school had an amazing 3D art program, and I learned metal work and riveting. This is a winged mermaid piece I made! Was super fun changing the color of the copper with heat, and I remember cutting out each piece was such a pain! It still hangs in my room.

Photo of a metal sculpture of a mermaid with wings. There are different metals that are riveted and layered together. The tail is copper colored, the tail/body/face are silver, the hair is copper, and the wings from the arms are 3 different metals. The wings have feathers that are bent forward a bit to show depth.
