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)

Crack of Dawn
Wednesday, 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.

A bunch of goodies this time! Patron stuff, non-patron stuff, and spaaaaaaace!

- 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)

Storm Crow
Saturday, June 4th, 2022
Storm Crow, 8″x8″ watercolor on paper
A blooming tree takes up most of the paper, black branches holding up blue-green puffs of foliage and deep fuchsia blossoms.
Despite that, the crow with rain falling from beneath its wings is the first thing to draw the eye, caught in fluid motion as it brings a storm with it. A glowing full moon ducks behind the tree, but it can’t hide from the clouds forever.
Despite the darkness of the color palette, this painting has a lovely whimsy to it that belongs in someone’s home, adding some dark delight to their decor.

Above, you can see the crowd raining droplets down from its wings onto the swirling tree. Below, this larger painting fills its frame beautifully.

Waning
Monday, July 19th, 2021
Waning, 5″x7″ mixed media on paper
This misprint had an alignment issue that made it all sky and no earth. I couldn’t resist painting in the very end of twilight in rich blue and fading violet. The moon is a special iridescent paint that looks white at some angles and lavender at others. The tree has some intriguing physical texture, painting over with soft-body acrylic paint, and its details were extended into a network of lacy growth.
There’s a few little birds in the sky as well, hidden mostly behind the mist of tiny dots that might be fireflies or snowflakes or even a light rain reflecting moonlight at the viewer.
Every part of this artwork got a touch of new life, from the waning gibbous moon to the color-washed streaks in the sky.

Above, you can see the way the paint shines, the moon going purple and the tree’s texture picking up the golden sunlight. Below, this piece is in a frame and happily showing itself off for you.
