Sketches, Doodles, & Cetera — Art & Illustration

This little witch casting a love spell in a cave with her feline familiar is an image I created last year for Inktober. All throughout Inktober, I kind of turn of the coloring portion of my brain, but I'd love to see this image with some more pizzazz, so I'm offering it up as a coloring page for all of you.

This time of year, my cat, Lydia, wants all cuddles, all the time. I'd like to pretend it's me she wants, but I know she's just after body heat (and behind-the-ear scritches, of course). To soak up a bit more of that snuggly magic, I put together this cute little illustration. If you want to send a little kitty love to someone you know, I have cards with this design in my shop. Feel the feline love all month long with these computer and phone desktop backgrounds.

I've been obsessed lately with drawing architectural details - particularly those with a bit of an organic feel. So I sat down with my pad of Arches paper the other night and started doodling a little cottage (and I do mean little) out in the woods. Now I'm just not sure if the cats lounging about are tiny or if the flora is huge. Hmm...

I get so inspired at the beginning of every year with all the goals and possibilities that the new year holds. So "Carpe Annum" - or "Sieze the Year" - has become my unofficial motto for this time of year. There's just something magical about new beginnings (or maybe it's just the sugar rush from eating nothing but holiday leftovers for a week straight). Hold on to some of that new year magic all January with these computer and phone desktops.

I've always dreamed of a silly little birthday party out in the woods, with mystical, magical attendees. Maybe it's just too many readings of Alice in Wonderland, or perhaps too much time spent on my own in the backyard as an only child. Either way, I'm definitely crossing my fingers for this ridiculous party for my birthday this year. I created this piece for Siren Nation's Celebration show last year, and I had so much fun coloring it in, I wanted to share the joy. If you want to see how I colored it, you can find prints and cards...
