Happy First Day of Spring --- doesn't really feel like spring exactly...well we have the showers part anyway 😅 . . . . . . . . #pushypushyupdowngo #artist #illustrator #supportartists #firstdayofspring #1stdayofspring #spring #springhassprung #springequinox #vernalequinox #aprilshowersbringmayflowers #rainyday #cats #catsofinstagram #funnycats #blackcats #blackcatsofinstagram #blackcatsrule #blackcatlover #blackcatsaregoodluck #catlady https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBTs4dvtjh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy St. Patty's Day 🍀 I realize I haven't posted much of late. My day job has been sucking up a lot of my energy. The search for the right Fester buddies continues (the poor boyo is definitely lonely....). I am working on some new goth stuff. Still trying to think of a way to merge Fester and the goth line but haven't quite found that just yet (not that Fester won't continue in his own stuff). But, yeah, we are still alive on this end. Just tired. Very tired 😬 . . . . . . . . #pushypushyupdowngo #artist #illustrator #stpattysday #stpatricksday #happystpatricksday #cats #catsofinstagram #catlady #blackcats #blackcatsrule #blackcatsofinstagram #blackcatsaregoodluck #endoftherainbow #rainbow #funnycats #catbutt https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp6IUH6PehD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Do you have someone worth "raven" about this Valentine's? Yeah...I know...that was painful, right? 😅😬 . . . . . . . . #pushypushyupdowngo #artist #illustrator #illustration #artistsofinstagram #graphicdesigner #vectorillustration #digitalart #goth #gothholiday #gothstyle #gothlife #gothvalentine #gothvalentinesday #valloween #halloweenobsessed #halloweenlover #halloweenforvalentines #halloweenlifestyle #halloweenallyear #heart #roses🌹 #alternativelifestyle #raven #ravens #corvids #corvidlove https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn5zZaVreOM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

After doing a series of Goth Xmas designs on this Kraft stock, I decided to try my hand at another batch for Valentine's. Introducing my new black heart series (because we still have hearts....they're just darker than most 😆). Naturally the bat trio had to make an appearance like usual. Really happy with these and definitely plan to continue playing with this paper stock 🖤 . . . . . . . . #pushypushyupdowngo #artist #illustrator #graphicdesigner #digitalart #vectorillustration #bats #batsofinstagram #battylove #batty #gothholiday #gothvalentine #gothvalentinesday #gothstyle #gothstationery #gothlife #halloweenobsessed #halloweenlover #halloweenlife #halloweenlifestyle #valloween #halloweenforvalentines #alternativelifestyle #hearts #roses🌹 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn3MbmhrWkK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My boyos are so glad the rain went away (at least for now). We've been getting a lot more rain in California than we've seen in a long time which also means way less sun than my poor boyos are use to. They aren't wasting any time taking advantage of it now 😬 . . . . . . . . #pushypushyupdowngo #catlady #cats #catsofinstagram #blackcats #blackcatsrule #blackcatsofinstagram #blackcatsaregoodluck #blackcatsarebeautiful #sunnyday #catsinthesun #catnap #getyousomesun #lazysunday #catphoto #catphotos #catphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CnuaP1fJjlP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

*psst* guess what showed up? New Valentine's designs for the Goth kids! Guess I got some photographing to do so I can get these listed 😅 Consider this a sneak peek. Better pics (and actual listings) coming soon! 🖤🖤🖤 . . . . . . . . #pushypushyupdowngo #artist #illustrator #vectorillustration #digitalartist #goth #gothholiday #gothlife #gothlifestyle #gothstyle #halloweenobsessed #halloweenlifestyle #halloweenallyear #gothvalentine #gothvalentinesday #valentines #valentinesday #valentinesdaycards #valloween #roses🌹 https://www.instagram.com/p/CnihOnZpDFh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fester would prefer to be in my lap right now but is settling for using the edge of my tablet as a pillow....for now. Working on new stuff for the shop, I promise 😖 (the new year just started and I'm already behind 😅) . . . . . . . . #pushypushyupdowngo #artist #illustrator #artiststruggles #tryingtowork #tryingtoworkwithacat #cats #catlady #catsofinstagram #blackcats #blackcatsrule #blackcatsofinstagram #workingwithpets #workingwithcats #lifewithpets #lifewithcats #livingwithcats https://www.instagram.com/p/CnKnMOQvyjV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just a little #tongueouttuesday with a passed out Sid-Gomez. My poor boyo has been a very persistent lap cat since I got home (normally he likes to lay next to me). I don't think either of the boyos trust me not to disappear on them again... 😅 . . . . . . . . #pushypushyupdowngo #catlady #cats #catsofinstagram #funnycats #tuxedocats #blackandwhitecats #blackcats #blackcatsofinstagram #blackcatsrule #tongueout #blep #outcold #sleepinghard #sleepingcats #catnap #lapcat #lifewithcats #livingwithcats https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm-enlErGas/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My Brickheadz yokai personal project continues with a Tengu. Really happy with his wings (messed around with those quite a bit before I landed on something I liked). I go back to work tomorrow so maybe I'll actually throw some of these together. Krampus does need friends after all 🤣 . . . . . . . . #pushypushyupdowngo #LEGO #legofan #afol @lego #legomoc #legomodel #legodesign #inspiredbyjapan #japanesefolklore #yokai #folklore #tengu #fantasy #cryptids https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm7pTd4PhhH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#HappyNewYear everyone! I know everybody's busy with resolutions and plans for the new year and such but I'm...not. 😅 Instead I give you a LEGO Oni because I'm still occupying myself with designing Brickheadz and am currently still focused on Japanese folklore. Had to make sure to include the spiky club and tiger skin loincloth 😆 . . . . . . . . #pushypushyupdowngo #LEGO #legofan @lego #legodesign #legomoc #legomodel #legobrickheadz #brickheadz #inspiredbyjapan #japanesefolklore #yokai #oni #cryptid #cryptids #folklore #fantasy https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm4jLtrv1V9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy #caturday and happy #newyearseve!!! I'm back home and the boyos are NOT pleased I was gone. Fester spent most of the day I got back making this face at me and refusing to let me out of his sight. Luckily I don't go back to work up Tuesday so I have a long weekend to make it up to them 😅 . . . . . . . . #pushypushyupdowngo #catlady #cats #blackcats #blackcatsrule #blackcatsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #happycaturday #caturdaycuties #newyears #happynewyear #ownedbycats #lifewithpets #lifewithcats #livingwithcats #intensestare https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm1yjZHpd6B/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy New Year's Eve, everybody! I'm back home (to some very upset cats who are very much intent on forcing me to make up for all the time I was gone...). The LEGO Brickheadz kick continues with a little turn toward specifically Japanese folklore and some of my favorite yokai. Started with my absolute fav: the kappa. If you are unfamiliar with these aquatic creatures, I highly recommend looking them up. They are such a bizarre and glorious mix of so many traits and interests. They are popular in Japanese pop culture so you've probably seen them in a series or movie at least once (a very cute version of one is featured in Oni by @tonkohouse currently streaming on Netflix). . . . . . . . . #pushypushyupdowngo #LEGO @lego #brickheadz #legobrickheadz #legomoc #legodesign #designer #japanesefolklore #folklore #inspiredbyjapan #yokai #kappa #cryptids https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm1x0FOpNnf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy winter solstice, everyone! It's the official first day of winter and, for reason, I'm headed where there is actual snow...help . . . . . . . . #pushypushyupdowngo #artist #illustrator #digitalillustration #digitalart #winter #officiallywinter #wintersolstice #firstdayofwinter #snow #whydoesithavetobesocold #cats #catlady #catsofinstagram #blackcats #blackcatsofinstagram #funnycats #catart https://www.instagram.com/p/CmcCjdYJ8y-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So I was suppose to be on a plane and in Washington by now but *surprise surprise* all flights into Seatac got cancelled (don't worry. I'm already booked on another flight for tomorrow morning so I guess...we'll see?). Anyway, this means I still have access to my computer and apparently taking a vacation from my day job designing LEGO models means I spend time...designing LEGO models 🙃 So Krampus needed a friend (no physical build of this one yet)...To be completely honest, I've done a lot more than just this little Yeti friend (on a bit of a Brickheadz kick right now). Will probably share others later. What are you guys up to? 😅 . . . . . . . . #PushyPushyUpDownGo #artist #LEGO @lego #legofan #legomodel #legodesign #modeldesign #legomoc #moc #brickheadz #yeti #cryptid #cryptids https://www.instagram.com/p/CmaCYOEPb6B/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
