This idea came to me a few months ago when I was watching a science based program that was talking about how DNA was knitted together and I imaged this as someone knitting DNA and then pictured the bars being the different colors of the pride flags and surrounded them with hearts. This one is of the colors of the Non-Binary (ENBY) Pride Flag (Yellow, White, Purple, Black).

This brown and tan long hair chihuahua has the right idea about early mornings and coffee. He might have gotten a little eager with the knife and the stabbing, but to be fair if you try to talk to me in the morning before I've had my coffee I can't guarantee I won't have the same reaction.

When you can choose to be anything you don't always have to choose to be kind. You can instead choose to be a Petty Betty. The digital image is of a bee on a white background with the words around it "Always Bee A Petty Betty" in black.

This image is taken from a watercolor painting I did for a very dear friend of mine while she was in hospice. This is a red fox sitting in a field of wildflowers seemingly enjoying the first days of spring weather.

Everyone loves both tacos and cats, and my cat Fox is no exception. He will often try to steal our tacos directly from our plates. This was his halloween costume a few years ago and I decided that he is always ready for Taco Tuesday.

I love coffee and sugar gliders, so I thought why not combine them? Digital rendering of a sugar glider taken from my watercolor. The animal is perched on the edge of the branch with a blank look on their face while holding a purple coffee cup. The words "Coffee First. Then Talking." curve around the top of his head.

For all the die hard fans of gothic literature the tale of Poe is one that lingers with the knocking of the raven knocking on his chamber door because of his love for the long lost Lenore while yelling "Nevermore." A raven stands with a banner in its beak that reads "For A Love Like Poe," suggestive of the gothic romance associated with the famous writer Edgar Allan Poe. The use of watercolor gives the raven a soft yet vibrant appearance, highlighting an artistic blend of purples and blacks.

Originally this started off as a marker drawing and this is my digital rendering of the Nope Mouse. I love him in every incarnation. He leans against the wall, holding his beer, staring out into space with the single word in a speech bubble that says "Nope"

I too have a feral love of tacos and of people minding their own business. SO...if you see me clutching to a taco and chowing down like that crispy thin shell holds my life essence. I'm gonna need you to Mind Ya Business.

This cat is me nearly every morning when I go to make my coffee. It's about a 50/50 guess as to whether I get hot or cold brew. But without that sweet black nectar I'm pretty much useless for the day, so I end up drinking it no matter what.

I live in tornado alley, both in the United States, and inside my house when my furry feline friends decide to pounce. Last night when I was watching severe weather stuff I thought of this image and it made me chuckle so I immediately had to draw it. This is the gender neutral version.

Who says you've lost that loving feeling? Not this kitty! It's found your spark and will be sure to let you know just how it feels about being ghosted.

This kitty has been waiting all winter to get their hands on some Spring Rolls, and I can't say I blame them!

This kitty doesn't just come prepared, she's coming in hot with receipts and they say she isn't buying your BS. Not now, not ever!

Who you gonna call when you have a problem? Exorcat, of course! This furry feline is here to help with all your ghosts, ghouls, demons, and hauntings. Just don't ask him to help with your rodent problem! Those are beyond him.

This is a line and scene from my latest story about a paranormal detective agency and I wanted to get it illustrated how I envisioned it in my head. There are two skeleton hands with fingers pointing inward toward a rotating purple atom. They meet together over the top of an outline of an anatomical heart and the words "Until there is" are curved over the top in pink and "Nothing left between us" curving around the bottom.

Mary Shelley was famous for her eccentric love of Percy Shelley. They consecrated their relationship at her mother's grave and after his death she carried his calcified heart around in his final poem, Adonis. This is a Valentine design for the literature goth nerds.

There’s an old saying about catching flies with honey and this is a funny take on it. I've seen jokes similar to this, but I decided to add on the extra bit about choosing your own adventure.

The idea of eternal connection overlapping with my love of all this Halloween themed created this. Skeletons forever locked in an embrace, their hearts entwined.

You ever just stop and ask yourself, what the fox was that? I know I do…a lot.

The way my cat has zero F’s to give when the dog tries to run up on her made me think of this and I just had to create it.

My cat often just stares at me and somehow I know exactly what it is that he wants. Obviously the answer is that I have been programmed to obey every one of his needs at a glance.

I was looking at a butterfly cocoon and thinking about the idea of transformation and growth and this image came up in my mind. So, I had to put it on a design.

How I imagine my cats would react to me if I were to expire and return to the earth.

I spent the day watching the launch of the new app by Zuck and thought of how the blue bird app feels like it's unraveling. Then, I decided to make art out of it. Because why not. LOL!

This is an image that has been with me for such a long time. The idea of good and evil, pleasure and pain, loss and joy. They are two sides of the same coin, with both beauty and horror and sadness infinitely stretched between them and making them such different experiences. but also, so closely tied that they could be touching.
