Watercolor paint is trying to wheedle its way into my good favor.

I have determined I really suck at watercolor.

Why do we so often put those closest to us last?

Meet them where they are. That's probably the best advice for teens.

Public clipart just doesn't have the same appeal.

The detail I love the most is the mica sheet used to line the car windows.

I wish there was a texture button on the computer, because this paper feels like leather.

I enjoyed making this custom card, pretty in pink.

It is so amazing to think that my art is traveling halfway around the world.

Finally, I have depth of field!

A budding artist with his masterpiece made completely from guitar picks.

A dear friend commissioned me to make a piece of art.

Sometimes I miss my work when I give it away or sell it.

This one was tough to part with, but it went to a good home.

My dream artist studio is a loft of some kind, with wooden floors, large paned windows with sheer curtains blowing in the breeze.

Here are a few more images of sold artwork on Etsy.

This card sold right away from my shop, which makes me wonder if I should try my hand at a few more steampunk cards.

I had the honor of being the guest artist at this month's Kids M-Power workshop.

What do you get when you cross bad art with a pasta maker?

Boy, if I never make another date palm again, I don't think I would lose sleep over it.
