A friend was recently enjoying painting a bird portrait, so I decided to try my hand at it, too. I think this is my first time painting a naturally colourful bird. It almost feels like cheating to call this a rainbow painting haha!
I currently have two slots available for pet portraits in this style. Check out my Etsy listing if you’re interested!
My new sticker pack for this month is otters! These little guys were so fun to research and draw.
From top left going clockwise, we have the: giant otter, sea otter, spotted necked otter, marine otter, and North American river otter.
The rainbow sticker for this month is based on the North American river otter.
The flashy holographic stickers are only available this month through my Patreon where you can also get jumbo versions of these guys for a steep discount this month only: https://www.patreon.com/SquidTartsArt

Here are some mini rugs I worked on over January. They’re about 14″ on the longest side and are designed as little wall hangings. It was very tricky to adapt tufting to this smaller size. I’d definitely like to figure out adding some line work to his small size.
Leopard geckos are so adorable. I just love their little eyelids and chonky tails! Do you have a favourite lizard?
I’m still figuring out how I like rainbow-izing complex markings like these. I think it depends on the animal, but it also may depend on my mood. 🤔
Here are our sticker for February: Sheep! I had SO much fun drawing these puffy little guys! I decided to go with a cartoony version for our rainbow sticker this month, and I had a ton of fun figuring out shading the gradient.
Please remember to sign up on Patreon for the $5 tier or up any time this month if you want some of these fluffy friends at a steep discount/jumbo/foiled.

Here’s our Patreon sticker pack for this month, weird dogs*! I added a second painted sticker as a special New Year gift, so expect that in your little care packages!
Our designs this month going clockwise from upper left: Bush dog, tanuki, aardwolf, maned wolf, and striped hyena. Both painted stickers are spotted hyenas.

Here’s a little art dump of all the work I’ve been sitting on and not posting. Some of these were xmas gifts and so I couldn’t show before now, and others are pieces I’ve just been too busy to post. I’m especially happy with the ladybug somehow.
I hope you’ve all had an amazing end of 2021, and here’s looking forward to a fantastic 2122!
This month’s new sticker pack is rats, as voted on by my patrons over on Patreon.
I decided to try something new with the painted sticker this month and went with a space theme. I really love the outcome, and I look forward to playing with it in a larger piece.

Sorry for the radio silence lately. I’ve been hecking busy! I’ve just added a new page to the site for rugs. Check it out here to see what I’ve been making for the past month: RUGS
All of the rugs listed have found homes except the cat in this blog post. That one is going up for charity auction at Isaac’s Way here in Fredericton to help pay for art lessons for underprivileged kids!
