ART UPDATE🖊️✨ Happy Monday yall! Hope everyone had a safe weekend. This week is a long awaited vacation for us! I'll be gone Weds-Sat on a little mountain trip we've had booked since summer! The timing adds to the chaos Oct has been, but I'm very very excited for the getaway.

And, throwing this very very early into the minds of yall... but Nov 19th... tentative opening day for a certain holiday Calendar favorite... 🎄 I want to give myself extra time this year, and opening on Thanksgiving is not great timing... so ... just a heads up 👀❤️

ART UPDATE🖊️✨ Happy Monday yall! Hope everyone had a safe weekend. This week is a long awaited vacation for us! I'll be gone Weds-Sat on a little mountain trip we've had booked since summer! The timing adds to the chaos Oct has been, but I'm very very excited for the getaway.

I will almost entirely away for those dates! Signal & WIFI are also potentially spotty where I'll be, so responses will be slow. For the few days I'll be working, I'm focusing on my last few pieces from before October on my main queue! Anything newer will be started on Nov 1st.

This includes my final batch of YCH! I intend to ink all if not most of the whole batch, then move on to coloring! So that will begin next week as well. I'm likely going to open for commissions again near mid/late Nov, still no set date!

“Man im so glad all the chaos is finally coming to a close—“ > Water softener tank breaks and leaks water all in our spare room Thankfully it was caught early enough and didn’t touch any of our stuff in the room but FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN

An incredible find along the trail today on my run— a whole mess of Great Horned Owl feathers. It was an unfortunate amount of feathers to come across but these beauties will be treasured 🧡

Really really fun day today— farmers market pickup and a run, ripped out invasive autumn olive for a couple hours at the raptor center (and saw the sweet boy pictured, Atticus!), and ended the night at a volunteer party where I got an award and got to award my favorite person theirs ;3;

Of COURSE my good camera is dead but we had a leucistic cowbird in our back yard!!! Shoddy binoc-with-my-phone pics but he was SO pretty! Hopefully will revisit when my camera is charged 🤞 #bird #birding

Gonna actually start posting my finished autumn YCH tomorrow, and I'm so proud of these!! I'm excited to work on the second batch and get to draw these poses more!! I always love working on YCH but sometimes they can get complex in ways I wasn't expecting, but these have all flowed so easily 😭🧡

This owl was getting banded and tagged by the Rocky Point Bird Observatory. For the owl’s safety, he/she was wrapped up. These photos…🤣🦉. So cute.

ART UPDATE🖊️✨ Happy Monday yall! Hope everyone had a safe weekend! Last week was SO so busy, but this week will be significantly slower for me! Wife is feeling so much better. Thanks for all the well wishes! I'll be set this week except I'll be out half of Fri and all of Sat!

🍂My YCH! I have one piece left from my first queue (which'll be done today) and then it's on to my next batch! Hoping get all of them done mid-late Nov! Theyre very easy to work on, but batch two is veeery heavy on the 2-character YCH haha. They simply take a little bit longer!

That's about it yall! Thanks again for the patience these last few weeks. I'm still a bit slow on replying to DMs, and don't be afraid to bump things for me! I appreciate yall so much! Let's make the best of this week!! 💪🧡✨

🎨My main queue took a back seat last week, it was full steam ahead on my YCH! I'll be focusing more on my main queue pieces this week to finish up the few I have left from previous months! Aiming to get those near done this week. Newer queue pieces will be started around Nov!
