Turnip & Violet character studies in progress!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This sentient Turnip character grew out of an Inktober project and now I'm working on a longer comics project about him so I'm going to try to post some more of my process here as I go so you can follow along. He's a very anxious Turnip who wakes up one night in a garden pretty surprised to exist, and anxious about home and where he belongs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been working this summer on inking some of the pages and decided to step back for a minute and do more character studies with a few of the main characters in the story. I'll post the full color version soon!

Happy Caturday! Do you have a cat that loves to eat plants? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have to keep all of my indoor garden behind closed doors in my studio, because my Max cat loves to eat plants, especially begonias AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND WITH AN OBSESSIVE FERVOR, and does not care that they are toxic for cats. Many houseplants are, actually (check out the list on the ASPCA website!).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Anyway, I'm in the process of learning to make repeat patterns so thought I'd start off with these orange boys getting into trouble.

I don't think I've ever posted two selfies in a row so I hope I don't break the internet -- more art coming soon, but I've been feeling like sharing a bit more life stuff here too from time to time.
My birthday was last week and we spent some time on the central CA coast at Moonstone Beach, going to the beach, eating gluten free ollalieberry pie, and seeing elephant seals who I’m now obsessed with. And I loved all this fog. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We took it easy a LOT on the trip too (as in just sitting on the couch watching Voyager, napping, drawing, etc) as I've also been dealing with really frequent and easily triggered migraines.
It has been really hard lately to navigate "normal" life, art work, job, and
relationships around it, and it just sucks. I've dealt with migraines for most of my adult life, but when they start being so frequent that it's several a week, it really changes the cadence of one's routine. But I keep trying different things, meds, acu, doctors, etc., and I'm hoping I will get them down to a dull roar again. 💜Really appreciate all the love and support from @joshuastortz to help me get through some really terrible sick days and general malaise on other days, and all my understanding friends. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So between migraines and vacation birthday fun I took an accidental break from posting at the beginning of the month that turned into an intentional break from posting, which was pretty nice. 😂 But I'm back and will have a lot of new work to share soon, probably around sick days, as I can. I was really trying to get myself to stick to a "posting cadence" to make the IG algorithm like me -- but realizing how pointless that kind of pressure is with everything I'm already dealing with—so over it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
P.S. I'm writing this while recovering from a mild migraine, sitting in a dark room with the screen turned down. :/ __________________________

Which version of this pin design do you prefer?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been working on designs for my first enamel pin ever (!!!) and trying to decide on colors. I was inspired by this painted amulet design I made. Linework will be copper, which I love. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let me know if you prefer the blue or red in the comments -- I'm trying to decide!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(PS I hate looking at things on a white backlit background -- it hurts my eyes and makes me feel like I can't see color, so I made this a migraine-friendly gray. )

✨I’m looking for editorial and book illustration work and have been sending out postcards to art directors over the past few weeks. ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This illustration was inspired by a @bethkempton article on wabi sabi and taking a moment to notice and accept things just as they are. I’d love to do more work on themes like this.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let me know if you want one—I have a few left over I can send out (in the US) while supplies last.💜
