It's Been a Minute...
The past couple years have been a bit of a whirlwind, and I realised it had been far too long since I checked in with the Deviant Art community. I see lots of exciting new changes, and I'm hoping to be more active here. I apparently have *3 years* of art updates to catch up on, so stay tuned for a whole lot of pop culture kittens, bionic bunnies, steampunk birds & of course more pet portraits!
Major life changes since the last time I was here:
*I'm now a full time artist! I quit my day job of 15 years, and am thrilled to spend the majority of my time seeking out adventures and painting with my kittens.
*Art conventions are my new day job! I attend between 20-30 events each year, so if there's a comic con, cat convention, oddities expo, or otherwise interesting event that you'd like to see me at, let me know!
*My father passed away unexpectedly in May 2018. A life-long creative, he's always been present for support, encouragement, inspiration, debate, constructive criticism & unconditional awesomeness. My family is very close, and his loss hit us all hard.
It's been a surreal sort of year, and it's put a lot of things in perspective. I'm doing my best to make every moment count, so no more wasted time. <3
Devious Journal Entry
I'm going to Japan!!!
I will be out of my studio through the 1st week of May, so portraits & shipments will be delayed until I return. I am having a sale while I'm away! Use code JAPAN to save 10% off of anything in my Etsy shop from now until 1 May!
News + Events (April)
I'll be taking a wee break from my studio for the last couple weeks of April, because I'll be in Japan! This will be my very first overseas adventure, and I am ridiculously excited! I plan to return with plenty of photos & new inspiration.
I'm on PATREON!
