New Pride Snail Stickers

stickers / / / , ,

Happy Pride month! New pride snails are dropping in my shops! In addition to my older ace, bi, lesbian, trans, and pride designs; you can now get agender, gay (blue flag), genderqueer, enby, and pan snails! And ofc there’s a discount for getting the full set.

I’m sorry these guys are coming out so late. I started working on them in early May, but then things in my life started to fall apart. Things are more-or-less back to normal now, and I’m looking forward to my usual boring existence haha.

Crested Gecko Mlem Watercolour Portrait

pet portrait, watercolor, watercolour, wildlife art / / / , , , ,

It’s been a little while since I’ve painted a lizard (almost a year!), so have a crested gecko!

I really struggled with this piece. Painting the crestie went pretty smoothly, but the background was just one problem after another. I used salt in the background textures, which is something I almost never do. I accidentally dumped a ton of salt on the rock in the back, so it really stood out with a ton of texture. I also realized the swoop in the background, the gecko’s back leg, and the back rock were all the same value; which looked terrible. I ended up lifting up most of the back rock, then going over it with very faint layers of white gouache. That helped smooth out the texture and contrast. Then I increased the contrast on the gecko’s back leg to help it stand out a bit. I’m happy with where it ended up, but it was definitely a journey haha!

New Freebie Sticker – Blueberry Tarts

watercolor, watercolour, wildlife art / / / , ,

Halfway through the year, and I’ve finally found time to update my freebie sticker design. Every year, I draw Tarts the bobtail squid with either fruit or a tart, and this year I chose blueberries!

I used to do a lot of character art but have moved away from it in favour of portraits. I love portraits and one off designs, but it’s always really fun to revisit Tart each year. Bobtail squids are also a treat to draw, because they’re just orbs with little noodle legs and can come in any colour. It’s also a great opportunity to play with colours, textures, and elements I don’t usually include in my portraits or animal sticker designs.

Anyone who orders from my Etsy shop or website for the rest of the year will get one of these little guys as a thank you gift!

2025 Mini Border Collie Rugs

pet portrait, rug tufting / / / , ,

Continuing my prep for the Spring Capital Art Sale, I’ve made these two mini versions of my latest border collie rug. This design is based on my smooth coated border collie, Nonoha, which is why they’re not drawn super fluffy. I’ve seen a lot of smooth border collies around Fredericton, so I’m hopeful these rugs will find some border collie fans!

Border collie people: Do you prefer classic black and white or red and white coats? My husband loves the reds, but I have a soft spot for the classic black look. It’s just so dignified! (totally unlike the dogs themselves)

Mini Kitty Rugs

pet portrait, rug tufting / / / , ,

Here are some new kitten rugs! This is my first time tufting out this design, and I’m pleased with how it turned out. Tabby cats are my favourite to create, and I’m glad others seem to like them the best, too. There’s just something so charming about stripes.

I’ve made these two little kitties for the Capital Art Sale starting May 8th. I know money is tight for so many right now, so I’m trying to focus on making lower-priced goodies. Everyone deserves something colourful and fun to bring them joy!

New Sticker Design – Rainbow Unicorn Pony

pet portrait, stickers, watercolor, watercolour, wildlife art / / / , , , , ,

It’s time for a new sticker! I got this idea for an extra bean-shaped pony stuck in my head and had to paint it. Then I was thinking, “You know what’s more ridiculous than a fat little pony? A fat little pony unicorn!” And here we are.

I aaaalmost went with a white coat to push the unicorn aspect, but then I got the idea of adding pants and couldn’t stop myself. Idk what it is about painting ridiculous things that’s somehow extra fun, but I’m glad I’m able to indulge it sometimes haha!

You can grab one of these cuties here at my shop.

Memorial Portrait – Rocky the Boxer

pet portrait, watercolor, watercolour / / / , , ,

This is a memorial piece for a very special boy, Rocky.

Rocky was Maulkin’s first friend who taught him how to camp, swim, and respect other dogs’ toys (but only if the other dog gets there first. He’s not a miracle worker, alas.). He was a good-natured boy full of humour and boxer sass, and he’s very dearly missed
