Crack of Dawn
Posted on April 3rd, 2024
Crack of Dawn, 6″x12″ watercolor on paper, $350.
Yeah, the title is a joke, but I also really love the egg-like glow around our shining light here. Is it the moon? Is it the sun? Who knows! That’s up to you, what you want to see floating up in that deep blue-violet sky among the stars.
This unusually sized painting will be perfect to fill that odd spot on your wall that needs a splash of color.

Sowing
Posted on April 2nd, 2024
Sowing, 7″x5″ watercolor on paper, $250.
This abstract has echoes of my old, old planetary paintings, but it’s also got the same mood as my Growth series, just from the other side — all those sent-away seeds are finding a place on the blood-red planet just waiting to be sown.
The painting is on a thick, deliciously textured handmade paper to add amazing detail, and the seed-stars shine with a subtle green.

Consuming Sunlight
Posted on April 1st, 2024
Consuming Sunlight, 12″x12″ acrylic ink on paper, $450.
An unusually large painting for me, this one is also set in the daytime instead of the middle of the night. Weird!
This corvid is trying to wrap his beak around something far too large and abstract for it, as the sun shines through the tree branches, turning them red-gold. In the detail, you can see real sunlight shining off the bird, and the tangle of winter-bare sticks in the middle of the tree.

Only a 2-day delay due to illness, whew!
From the top left:
- Rey asked for “have some fucking grace” (sold)
- Jefferson asked for some office crows (sold)

December 2023 Patreon Sketches
Posted on March 21st, 2024
And two sets of bonus cards, some trees and some more space, because I needed more extras for patron goodie packets.
I didn’t like the layout of horizontal to vertical cards in the photo so I solved it by drawing 3 bonus cards. I dunno, man, it made sense at the time.
From top left:
- Eric asked for bubble tea with plum jellies and got a cheerful boba cup. (sold)
- Carrots! bonus carrots.
- Rey asked for Decemberween! and well, yeah. This was inevitable. (sold)
- Kelly asked for “bridge to the stars or bridge of dreams” and got something a little more eldritch than possibly expected. But it’s sparkly! (sold)
- Bonus potato! Or half of one, anyway. Look, I made curry this week, veg are on my mind.
- Amy B wanted a hedgehog and I have delivered. (sold)
- Jefferson wanted hot soup, and gets brains. He knows why. (sold)
- Rebecca S asked for a castle and gets this vaguely ominous fortress.
- Rhonda prompted “bee/hive” and so I did two different bee cards, because reasons. There is a whole fat fuzzy bee on the black card, but phone photos can only do so much.
And below, the bonus Space and Tree cards!

November 2023 Patreon Sketches
Posted on March 18th, 2024
We’re catching up! Since patron sketches get done the month after requests, December’s the last of this batch (though January will be ready before these are all posted, lol).
As requested! 😻 There’s two sets, watercolor & ink/marker, so please enjoy both.
- Jo asked for “something banishing winter gloom with light”
- Jeff asked for “time shift” and this winter winds blowing the autumn away is the second try (sold)
- Rebecca W asked for “giant Lapis tiny Lenin” since it often looks that way in pics
- Rebecca S asked for honeybees! (sold)
- This was the first try at “time shift” for Jeff, but somehow the ‘Murica overwhelmed the Doppler reference.
- Next comes my wee monster Andy and “ew mouthpets!” for SaraBeth (sold)
- Eric wanted “Loth cat Ezra” and got Ezra as a Loth cat, because why not? (sold)
- Corinne asked, “Is Mikey CAKE?”
- And finally, Amy B asked for a Christmas vampire and got this charming, trustworthy fellow (sold)

October 2023 Patreon Sketches
Posted on March 14th, 2024
A bunch of goodies this time! Patron stuff, non-patron stuff, and spaaaaaaace!
I got in a weird mood and did a whole bunch of things that were not for patrons before getting to those, so bear with me. From the top left:
- Jefferson asked for “patience, dammit” and gets this grumpy yet patient crow (sold)
- This is a bird no one asked for
- Amy B asked for “hibernate” and gets a random dark fluffball hiding in a blanket burrito, with blep (sold)
- Skulls 1, 2, and 3 are vaguely portraits of my holiday centerpiece, which consisted of Edgar, Ezra Bean, and Dalton, respectively. Yes, I do name my skulls. Don’t you?
- This blue galaxy is by special request (sold)
- Eric asked for the Great Pumpkin and I went horror with it sorry (sold)
- Rey & Amber requested “seasons change” and get some word art (sold)
- The lunar eclipse is for SaraBeth (sold)
- Nick wanted Pumpkin SPICY and gets a pumpkin chili pepper jack-o-lantern pun (sold)
- Kelly asked for dragons and gets these two little dudes (sold)
- In the second image we have a whole rainbow of galaxies! (all sold)
Thanks again for being awesome!
