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

New Sticker – Chickadee!

Here’s another new sticker I actually painted a little while ago during the first snow of the season. I just love watching the chickadees flit around the trees foraging in the winter. Even though they’re out all year, they feel like such a winter kind of bird, and I have them strongly associated with snow.

This little one has been foraging to grow even fatter and rounder! Adorable!

New Dino Sticker – Ichthyotitan

Now in my shop: Please enjoy the world’s happiest ichthyotitan! Why is she so happy? Idk maybe she just ate a whale.

Ichthyosaurs are some of my favourite prehistoric friends, and ichthyotitans are just xl ichthyosaurs. Instant fav! I decided to give this one spots like a leopard shark, because I thought it would be really cute despite being pretty unlikely on an apex predator. ~fashion~

First Kitty of 2025

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

A new year is the perfect time to paint more cats!

I have a few art goals this year, including figuring out negative space (aka, white areas in the figure) and playing more with edge types. I think the edges are an improvement on this piece, but I definitely have a lot more work to do with negative space haha.

Do you have any creative goals this year?

Maulicorn

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

Here’s my latest portrait of my oldest pup, Maulkin.

This painting is my annual gift to my cat/dog vet. We recently started Maulkin on acupuncture, which has made a huge difference for him, and this is a little commemorative piece. Because he’s so fluffy, the only needle visible on Maulkin is the one on his head button, and I always find that really funny.

Last Sparc of 2024

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

Let’s wrap up the year with another cat portrait! This is another take on my youngest cat, Sparc.

I’m really trying to make the purple-blue-green colour scheme work, but I think I keep picking the wrong reference photos for these pieces. Either way, I think this is more successful than my last attempt, and it definitely looks like Sparc!

Ball Python on Wood

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

Ball pythons are probably my favourite snake. Every one I’ve met has been super charismatic, and their patterns are so stunning.

I love painting reptiles because of the challenge of their scales. How many scales should be rendered so a snake doesn’t seem like a fleshy sausage or overworked and fake? It’s a tricky balance to strike, and I don’t think I nailed it here, but I think the snake turned out really cute anyway.
