This was me at 3am last night after listening to the most recent chapter upload from the #CryptoZoo #audiobook in production. The voice actresses are doing a PHENOMENAL job. I’m so excited to share it with ya’ll once we get it wrapped up in the near future! #writer #writing

Hey there peeps—first con of 2025 for Painting Dragon Feathers is Setsucon in Altoona Pa, January 31-Feb 2! We’ll have a booth in Artist Alley, and I’ll be presenting panels “Dragons, Cryptids, and Dinos, OH MY!” And “Worldbuilding: How to Make a Story Bible.” Stay tuned!

This deck turned out gorgeous! I was lucky enough to contribute the 7 of Swords, the Jersey Devil, card. #cryptid #tarot #jerseydevil #art #tarotart

Even with life’s usual hiccups, I was blessed to have so much growth this year with all kinds of art, teaching myself 3D sculpting, leveling up in 3D printing, a proposal during the eclipse (and of course I said yes!), a new corgi puppy joining the family (studio assistant Rauru)

Though I took a well-needed break over the holidays, I managed to squeak out one last piece of art in 2024–a portrait of this badass fairy mercenary, Ven, from a college friend’s story that I helped with beta reading editing. She got a big kick out of it. :D

Fiancé and I had a BLAST at my final con of the year—GalaxyCon Columbus! It was my first time in ANY Galaxycon, not just the one in Columbus, and the crowd and overall vibe were awesome! Had very sweet booth neighbors, there was a lot of public art, and excellent food!

Sales wise, even though it’s been a slow and weird year across the board, it was my second best after Anthrocon.

All set up at Galaxycon Columbus! Stop by the D15 in the Artist Alley to say hi, show off your cosplays, and check out some cool creature artwork! And I’ll be speaking about world building and creature design at two panels Saturday and Sunday.

Yaaaaaaay, more trials and tribulations of 3D printers. Two machines, same file, one derp. #whoops #3dprinting #artist #artistlife

This meme called me out. 😅 Now that I’m back from Cryptidcon I will have some breathing room for commissions in progress before I dive into prep for the local Krampus market and Galaxycon Columbus. And thanksgiving turkey of course. #meme #artistlife #conventionartist #artist

Of course Hodag shenanigans would set off the fire alarm at Cryptidcon. XD #hodag #cryptid #cryptidcon #wedidn’tstartthefire #buthodagdid

I sent the voice actresses working on the CryptoZoo audiobook a goodie box with some CryptoZoo swag—and these are the photos they sent back. 😆 So cool to see the voices of Cleo and JD rocking merch I designed.
