Presenting my rough pencil sketch of a sweet owlet, "Sentry of the Blood Moon," for Day 4 of #Drawlloween! 🦉🌙✨
For the owl prompt, I captured this round, big-eyed little creature as a preliminary study in graphite on sketch paper.
✨ I plan to develop this drawing into a full oil painting on a crescent moon panel, which I can't wait to share with you for Day 26's prompt, Moon! 💚
A massive thank you to @mabgraves for hosting this incredible, inspiring challenge every year! 🖤
Presenting "Innocence and Instinct" for Day 3 of #Drawlloween! 🐺🌕✨
For the werewolf prompt, she has long, flowing sky-blue hair, expressive grey eyes, and exceptionally fluffy wolf ears. Beside her is her fiercely devoted companion: a sweet, howling dire wolf pup.
Painted in oils on an 8" x 10" cradled wood panel with natural edges. Unframed, but a standard size, I can easily wire the back upon request for your hanging preference!
✨ "Innocence and Instinct" is currently available. Please send a DM if you are interested in welcoming this piece into your collection! 💚

I forgot to post this here yesterday! Here she is, a day late, for day one!
Presenting "The Polyphemus Proclamation" for Day 1 of #Drawlloween! 🦋👁️✨
She is a moth maiden with massive, multicolored eyes and flowing purple hair that sweeps down in a peek-a-boo style over one side of her face. Across her cheeks, a delicate moth inspired by Luna and Polyphemus moths rests just beneath her gaze.
Painted in oils on a 12" x 6" Trekell Baltic Birch Coffin Block Panel. The back features a CNC-routed keyhole, allowing her to hang directly on the wall as a standalone piece!

This isn’t my usual art, but this little collection brought me so much joy that I just had to share! 🦖🎀✨
Here is my complete set of all eight McDonald's Sanrio x Godzilla Happy Meal toys, displayed in their original boxes inside a display case from Five Below.
It all started when my friend Nikki gifted me my very first one. I originally stopped by a few McDonald's locations just intending to help her hunt down pieces for her own collection... only to quickly realize I was accidentally starting one for myself!
What followed was an absolute adventure spanning multiple days, several locations, and an abundance of Happy Meals. As a vegetarian, I owe a huge thank you to Alex and my mom for eating the brunt of all those meals so I could collect the toys! 🍟
Huge thanks to Nikki for setting me off on this epic quest!
Tell me in the comments: Are you Team Sanrio or Team Kaiju? 👇
I’ve been taking a quiet little break from social media, but before #Frogust comes to an end, I wanted to introduce you to "The Lily Lurker" from The Huntington Hollows series! 🐸🌸✨
He is a round oil painting on 4.5" paper, presented in an 8" round ornate metal frame that gives him the magical feel of a vintage keepsake.
Could this tiny frog be a prince? This petal peeper looks a bit grumpy at being discovered hiding right in the heart of the water lily—so I'm not entirely sure he’d let you steal a kiss to find out!
His eyes feature a warm golden glimmer that echoes subtly throughout the painting. The surrounding water lily was directly inspired by a photograph I took during one of my peaceful strolls through the Huntington Gardens.
✨ "The Lily Lurker" is currently available. Please send a DM if you are interested in welcoming this tiny nymph of the nymphaea into your collection! 💚
Meet a new soul from The Huntington Hollows series: "Sirena coronada de pétalos" (Petal-Crowned Mermaid). 🌸💜
She is a round oil painting on 5.25" paper, beautifully housed in a 10" round ornate metal frame that gives her the feel of a vintage keepsake.
This sweet mermaid features soft brown skin, vibrant purple hair, and soulful, big green eyes flecked with hints of gold. Resting on her head is a massive pink water lily with a glowing golden core—directly inspired by a photograph I took during one of my peaceful walks through the Huntington Gardens.
Her portrait is set against a serene blue background, where the warm gold from the initial gesso layer subtly shimmers through.
✨ "Sirena coronada de pétalos" is currently available. Please send a DM if you are interested in welcoming this delicate soul into your collection!
I had the remarkable fortune to attend Death and the Maiden, the stunning collaborative exhibition by Jasmine Becket-Griffith and David Van Gough at Corey Helford Gallery. Every single piece in the room is a brilliant testament to their masterfully combined styles and unique skills. 🖤✨
Today I wanted to share my painting, CA Coastline. This piece holds a very special place in my heart because it is based entirely on a photograph taken by my dad at Point Dume in Zuma Beach.
My father always had a deep love for the ocean, and he captured the beautiful, sweeping spirit of the California coast perfectly in his photo. Getting to translate his eye for composition into my own traditional painting layers was a wonderful experience, and it's a memory I cherish every time I look at this piece.
Wishing a beautiful and peaceful day to all the fathers, creators, and mentors out there who inspire us to see the beauty in the world around us. 🎨✨
Wishing you a happy Lunar New Year! Every year for Chinese New Year, I try to present artwork of the year's Zodiac animal, this time,...
