Conversation Arts week 3
Monday, February 22nd, 2016
I have had the flu all week! The blue ones are less awful-tasting when you can’t smell, but still pretty bad. Most of these have no color, because it’s hard to color when you’re coughing and sneezing and pathetic. I’m not dead yet, though! I’m feeling better! Anyway, the whims of fate and candy have brought these seven new sketches.
Conversation Arts 15: Wink Wink – $10
I admit, I googled bad Star Trek pick-up lines and picked my favorite for Kirk. Cheeky bugger.
Conversation Arts 16: Melt My <3 2 – $10
Kitties are the perfect way to melt anyone’s frozen heart, even Anna’s.
Conversation Arts 17: Be Mine 2 – sold
I still haven’t had any proper tea this week. Herbal, yes, but I miss my Earl Grey!
Conversation Arts 18: Hold Hands – sold
If you haven’t seen Galavant then I’m very sad for you. But I still super believe in Tad Cooper.
Conversation Arts 19: Sweet Pea – $10
Ahaha I was so sick when I did this, but I still find it hilarious. Especially the judicious use of glitter gel pen.
Thorin + Arkenstone = OTP.
Conversation Arts 20: Sweet Talk – $45 (colored)
It’s up to you who’s on the other end of the comm there. Kingsman is one of those movies I adore despite the parts I hate (ugh FPS violence), and rewatching it while sick totally renewed all my crushes.
Conversation Arts 21: True Blue – $45
Stitch good.
Ohana means family. And family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

Plague Doctor Who
Thursday, February 18th, 2016
Plague Doctor Who, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
One day, I sat at my art table and made a list of all the commissions I have pending, because I’d like to re-open the queue someday and that means finishing the art already owing. Then, I drew this instead, which nobody asked for. Because reasons.*
Of all the Doctors I’ve watched, Eleven seemed the likeliest to wear a plague mask, and also the easiest to tell apart from the others with subtle costume cues. And by subtle, I mean the fez.
Also, plague masks are cool.
*pun reasons

Conversation Arts week 2
Monday, February 15th, 2016
Another week, another set of candy hearts! I’ve eaten every one of these after finishing the sketch, and let me tell you, blue is not good. But it means the weird repeats are all natural, as it were! The whims of fate and candy have brought seven more sketches.
Conversation Arts 8: True Love – sold
Castiel + Dean = a complete inability to communicate like adults. But also love.
Conversation Arts 9: 🙂 – $10
If you’ve ever played Settlers of Catan, you have heard this joke before.
Conversation Arts 10: True Love 2 – $25
I admit it, I am addicted to Neko Atsume. Peaches really loves the sakuramochi cushion, when she can get her paws on it.
Conversation Arts 11: Melt My <3 – sold
One of my Patreon patrons asked for February rain for her sketch, and I ended up with this sweet bit of sadness.
Conversation Arts 12: Be Mine – $10
Sleep deprivation + Periscope encouragement = bee puns.
Conversation Arts 13: Let’s Kiss – $45
Apparently I really want to draw Q this month, so this time I matched him up with an orange tabby. Because kitten kisses are the best kisses.
Conversation Arts 14: Best Day 2 – $45
“Q, why did you want to come to the beach if you’re not going to swim?”
“I’ve got exactly what I want, James, don’t you worry.”

Conversation Arts week 1
Monday, February 8th, 2016
After recovering from the foolishness of doing a daily sketch project and NaNoWriMo in a single month (my advice: don’t do that), I felt ready to tackle the month of love and sarcasm! I bought a bag of large conversation hearts, and have been choosing (and eating) one out of the bag every day. The whims of fate and candy have brought you these seven sketches.
Conversation Arts 1: Cutie Pie – $10
Q + tech = qt3.14.
Conversation Arts 2: On Fleek – $25
This gorgeous kitty’s tail is on fleek.
Conversation Arts 3: Best Day – $25
Snacks, personal space, and something exploding? The Twelfth Doctor’s best day.
Conversation Arts 4: XOXO – $25
Lorelai Gilmore + coffee = OTP.
Conversation Arts 5: My Love – sold
Sherlock + skull = love beyond death. Or at least after.
Conversation Arts 6: Soul Mate – $10
Ron & Hermione, he’s smug and she’s not so sure about this soulmates thing.
Conversation Arts 7: Marry Me – $25
Who could say no to a proposal like that?

January Patreon Sketches
Tuesday, January 26th, 2016
My wonderful supporters on Patreon get the option to request sketches at the $5 and $10 level (color!), and this month I got 4 requests.
Abandoned Book for Kim, who was feeling melancholy
Death Does Netflix & Chill, for Jeff, who wanted to see Death on holiday
Favorite Treats, for Blaine who wanted my favorite food (I cheated)
Exes and Ghosts, for Molly who asked for musical and got an earworm
PS – If you’ve been curious about my writing, the little G-rated “how they met” short Untrue Love is on sale this week — for free!
This story shows us Alex’s first case, when he was an insufferable little university student instead of an insufferable adult. He meets Agent Murielle Lapointe, with whom he’s still working years later in the novels, and they work together to catch a killer.

Cthulhu Pickup Lines
Thursday, January 21st, 2016
Cthulhu Pickup Lines, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker.
“You’re hotter than Cthugha…”
“Are you an Elder God? Because your looks are driving me insane…”
“Even with strange aeons, my love will never die…”
Perhaps Cthulhu is not cut out for pickup lines.
Buy the Valentine in my Etsy shop, and show someone you love them in the cheesiest, most tentacular way possible.

Morning Kiss
Tuesday, January 19th, 2016
Morning Kiss, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper.
A lovely patron asked me to do a number of commissions for her, and this one got moved to the top of the pile in order to make it available as a Valentine!
She wanted a sweet morning moment, of Bond is just his pj bottoms and Q in cute sleep shorts, with James bringing his Quartermaster his first cup of Earl Grey. And, of course, giving him a kiss on the cheek.
Cutie pies.
