I'm at A249 in the Artist Alley and would love to talk to you about your pets--and maybe draw them too!

Binx has been on my mind all year. Now and then I redo a portrait because I'm not 100% happy with it, and as my skills grew, I knew I could do a better job. Binx is one of the reasons I decided to move to drawing faces instead of the whole pet. Sometimes it's easy to get stuck on details and faces work so much better, don't they?

Snooki is such a cutie patootie, I had to draw her twice :-)

2025 was the year of the doodle dog! I think I must have drawn 5 or 6 doodles and silly Oswald was the last of them :-) His different coloured eyes really threw me off!

I drew a cartoony version of A back in 2023 and his human returned for a realistic version. The pose was challenging, but in the end, worked out very well!

Bigsby's portrait is one that took a while to ideate, and many conversations with one of his humans, but the result was so worth it! So many layers came together to make a very personal picture.

Pam is the third of three rabbits I was commissioned to draw this year. She came with such a cool backstory--her human found her amongst the dandelions, eating a piece of apple! I knew this picture called for something more special than a traditional drawing :-)

Handsome and snuggable Nami's pictures were done in-between my artistic growth spurt. It was a bit of a struggle between the past and the present!

This was a super cool paper picture from concept to execution! I spent so much time getting Dracula's coat colour just right and layering all the pieces.

I drew three bunnies this year--a new record!
