Sharing some snippets from my diary to round out the year. These are all scribbled with pencil on a small, faintly lined spiral notebook I snatched from my husband 😂 2022 was a bit tough but it was also a year stuffed with love, joy, and happiness thanks to my sweet husband and bunchild. Happy New Year of the Bunny, everyone 🐰🎉
Inspired by hours of binge-watching cookie decorating shows with my husband & fantasizing about opening our own tiny bakery/bookstore/cafe filled with rescue animals 🐰🍪 We cut the bunny cookies by hand, too! These aren’t the usual comics, illustrations, or doodles I post but I decided they are artsy-ish enough to share anyway 😂
I painted our beautiful furchild bunny! He looks like an overstuffed dumpling cow and I adore him so much 😂🐰🥰
He thoroughly inspected my handiwork and gave his approval (I think) ❤️
Big Other published my comics back in June and recently nominated them for Sundress Publications’ Best of Net 2023!!! 🥳 Still so stunned and grateful that there are people who see any value/worth in my comics 🥰
I tried painting a bunny last night and agonized over every drop. He is messy and imperfect and silly, just like me. My husband loves him and named him Stardust 🐰😂
My first attempt at watercolor painting after my husband surprised me with a bunch of art supplies…I’m officially obsessed 😍🖌🥰
My husband and I are both huge foodies—we love cooking, baking, and stuffing ourselves with all sorts of yummies.
