Tea
Saturday, April 6th, 2024
Tea, 6″x6″ watercolor and tea on paper, $250.
Do you love tea? Because I love tea so much I made a zine about it.
These illustrations made up the bulk of the zine’s pictures, rendered in soft watercolor on a tea-dyed background. There’s green tea and black, loose tea and bags, in a simple celebration of the drink.

Only a 2-day delay due to illness, whew!

December 2023 Patreon Sketches
Thursday, 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
Monday, 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)

Lots this month! Patreon supporters were engaged or something.
y’all asked for a LOT of cards the month before I went and got covid, dang! I’m late but not outside of September, so I’m going to consider it a win. There’s quite a range of styles this time, because I tended to get 2 done and then have to fuck off and do something else, lol. Enjoy!
- Corinne wrote a fic where super soldiers in the MCU were also werewolves, and I had to draw chibi werewolf Red skull
- Amy B asked for petrichor
- Eric wanted cookies & cream and got ghost Oreos (sold)
- Amber asked for the 1st day of school (sold)
- SaraBeth asked for autumn vibes
- JoVE asked for “ready for summer but it’s raining” (sold)
- Jefferson asked for “hotberg icetub” because he loves to torment me (sold)
- Andria wanted dragon(fruit) shaved ice
- Nick asked for a Princely Bottom a la Red White & Royal Blue
- Kelly wanted space! I love painting space cards, ngl. (sold)
And that’s all of them! So many!

July 2023 Patreon Sketches
Monday, March 4th, 2024
More sketches, more Pokemon. My patrons know what they like, I guess?
Sketch card time! Y’all gave me ALL the prompts for next month, but this time there were only 5. SaraBeth, I haven’t forgotten you, keep your eyes out for a whole set of ghosts in cute costumes next week!
I also went and made wee travel palettes of basically all my watercolors, and then had fun using them for this.
- Amy B asked for “melt” and gets word art entirely from the warm colors palette (sold)
- Eric asked for a Pokemon and got the first thing that I saw when I opened GO, so blame them, but also enjoy this in its 3 shades of blue (sold)
- Jefferson asked for “iceberg hot tub” so here’s a polar bear enjoying a bath, also all in blue (sold)
- Nick asked for some good luck and also 🧡 so here’s an only slightly menacing bit of word art from the greens palette, with bonus hearts from the warms when I pulled it out for Amy’s melty card
