This was a self portrait I did on the day that Dash died. 🐀 6 weeks of round the clock care for an unknown illness that we did not know was incurable until it was too late.
I was so exhausted & so, so broken. https://t.co/eQIBlZbpxF
Emiko is not my design, but I enjoyed posing her & exploring her personality. Her posse was designed by me though!
I have another book birthday this month! Stanley the Dog (written by @mrBobbyBones & illustrated by me!) is out on the shelves! I got to illustrate so many drooly, silly pups in this one, it was absolute HEAVEN for me. Thank you @HarperChildrens @BrightAgencyUS & @childbookart !
4 years ago today I lost my wonderful Dash. It may seem weird to cling to the memory of a rat, but anyone who's bonded with one understands that big, beautiful love can come in small packages.
Miss you every day, my little ball of love & light. I haven't been the same since.
I have a small Xmas tree in my studio, covered in stars I made that each represent the spirit of a departed a rat, mouse & now, a squirrel that I loved.
Cliff is the 30th star.
I was putting this off & holding out hope. I can’t anymore. She’s not coming home.
Old art but still a relevant mood. Got a lot to wrap up before the end of the year!
Thank you everyone for suggestions! Treated myself to those brush packs & tried to break a couple of them in. I am very tired & rusty at the moment but I see great potential in these brushes. Love them.
Today is the 3 year anniversary of Otter's passing. He was the handsomest, sassiest, sweetest boy I've ever had. That was a terrible day but he, like Nova, also had lymphoma & was able to get many weeks of happy, bouncy, quality time during treatment. My best boi <3
