December 2024 Sketch Cards
Tuesday, January 28th, 2025
How is January almost over? The passage of time is a continued problem. I have two! Two sets of sketch cards for you! Ah-ah-ah-aah! [insert Count von Count here]
Above, I did a set of six moon phases because I always need extras for my patreon goodie packets. These were fun to experiment with the clouds on each, so they feel connected but not too samey.
Here are everyone’s actual sketch requests from last month! And that wraps up the whole year, which is wild.
- Jefferson asked for ninja espresso and got an espresso ninja (sold)
- Rebecca S wanted a hockey boy and I paid homage to her team, the Krakens (sold)
- Amy B asked for a skunk
- SaraBeth wanted flight or freedom, and apparently my brain went the easy route with this bird escaping its cage (sold)
- Eric asked for “Captain Negasonic Human Torch” because he’s a troll, but I had fun with it
- Kelly wanted a goth to interpret “red” so of course it’s bloody bones (sold)

October 2024 Patron Sketches
Wednesday, December 4th, 2024
I ended up doing these guys a little late for the inevitable holiday cold reasons, but I had a really fun mix of prompts this time, at least!
- Nick asked for “kissmas” after some book he likes, and gets the blorbos from my upcoming Goblin Market book instead. Sorry not sorry.
- Andria wanted a confused jack-o-lantern.
- Eric asked for “The Ballad” and I had fun fading this out on the left like the world in Coraline when she tries to walk away and instead walks around. (sold)
- Kelly wanted hellfire, so I painted some fun flames and added a few lost souls for ambience. (sold)
- SaraBeth asked for Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors, and I went for the smaller version because it’s just cuter. (sold)
- Amy B wanted an autumnal Pod, and in autumn all Pod wants is warms.
- Rebecca W said of course she still loves Pod (who was the cat on that post, iirc) and so I experimented a little with light and form and color for her. (sold)

February 2024 Sketch Cards
Thursday, April 11th, 2024
New month, new sketch cards! I’m mostly busy writing the 4th Consulting Magic book this month, but the blog won’t go totally neglected again. There’s at least these, after all.

Still Death
Thursday, April 4th, 2024
Still Death, 6″x4″ watercolor on paper, $200.
It’s like a still life, but eerie! Little creepy doll fingers poke their shiny green flesh up out of the rust-streaked soil, while the cracked head is helpless to do anything but watch. Bats fly in the on the sulphur winds and
The whole tiny painting is the size of a postcard, perfect to hide in a bookshelf or niche for extra spook points.

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!
