Custom Converses

I painted these high tops for my best friend Caitlin. She's really into peacocks and she told me to just go for it. I wanted each side of the shoe to be different and I didn't really plan it out. I think they turned out pretty well for a first time endeavor!

Kitty Gym


My boyfriend and I spent the evening yesterday designing and building a nifty cat jungle gym/scratching post. We did it from scratch! All we needed were some 2 x 4's, a hand saw, an electric drill, some carpet and some nails. And of course a lot of hard work! I won't lie, he did most of it... but I still helped a little!

Waiting

I've managed to reach the end of my sketchbook even though I rarely use it. Most of the pages are filled with crude doodles and words, nothing really worth showing. This is an actual drawing though, kind of.
I really like making ink shapes and drawing over them with pen. It's pretty fun. I made this drawing when I was waiting for stuff to print out at work (shhh!)

New Beginnings

I have finally recovered my lost camera charger so I was able to take a few shots of my new apartment. I still have a lot to do, a lot of things to buy. But it's well on its way to looking like a home and not a prison cell! So that's exciting.
The inside of my apartment is basically an Ikea display case. I'm okay with this.

PS. My walls are still looking very bare. So if anyone wants to do an art trade/collab, I'd really be into it.
Housewarming party maybe?

Sad Bear

Lately I've been sort of a sad bear. I made this illustration for someone special, it will be waiting for him upon his return home from his trip to the wilderness of the upper peninsula.
