"The Silent Princess ""

7 years ago, Zelda BOTW dropped, and I was enchanted. Grew up playing Zelda Games, and still return to them regularly, they always bring comfort. I love Princess Zelda in these last two games <3

"Small and Anxious"... And full of screams.

I have loved possums my whole life and just smile when I see one bumbling along. They are really nifty little critters, and deserve more love <3

“Our Lady of New Frontiers, Nichelle Nichols”

My last painting of 2022, and I wanted it to be a painting carrying me into the new year, a tribute to an amazing and inspirational woman.

Star Trek has been a show I have watched since I was a wee one. I started with TNG as a child, but when I finally watched TOS in college, its impact was undeniable, both today and especially during the time it aired.

Although the famous speech says “final frontier”, Nichelle Nichols was a woman leading the way onto new frontiers, a beacon of hope, resilience and possibility. So that is what I wish to carry with me into the new year.

"Infections of a Different Kind"

Trying to fill the void that will now be in my heart Sunday evenings. I truly loved "The Last of Us", and Bella Ramsey as Ellie was perfection. I look forward to whenever they make the next season.

Prints are up on my shop, you can find it through my website:

Apparently, I am still not over "The English" so I did another study of Eli. 8 hours on Procreate, quite happy with the progress I am making with my portrait work on the iPad.

I'm making up some more process/step-by-step posts for some of these studies to share. I am thinking also of getting my patreon/ko-fi properly set up to have more in-depth posts about my process, if folks would be interested in such a thing.

Horsies!

Did these 2 studies of horses from photos, 40 minutes each, entirely digital on Procreate.

So buying a magnetic paper-like screen protector has been a big game changer for me for my art output, for now I can draw on the iPad and it feels just like drawing traditionally. It's also allowing me to try different "traditional-like" techniques since I can do all the pencil/line-work digitally, and fast.

"In-Laws!"

One of my favourite movies is Addam's Family Values, with the iconic Joan Cusack as Debbie Jelinsky. I just love everything about this villain, and often quote her speech at the end about wanting a Ballerina Barbie for Christmas.

So I finally sat down and watched "The English" and good lord did I love it, a truly beautiful mini series. Chaske Spencer's performance as Eli is wonderful, I think he deserves all the awards and all the roles.

"Woken Rudely From His Nap"

1 hour digital study of Mister Butt (aka Grendel), from a photo my roommate tried to take of this little Beanbag while he was sleeping. But he always knows when the camera is on him.

"Swamp Goddess": originally painted in 2018, cleaned up in 2022.

I painted this piece back in 2018 and it is one of my most popular prints to date. It is an homage to my home of Muskoka and the swamp by my cottage that we call Goo Lake.

Fun fact: my dad brought home to me a baby snapping turtle to keep as a pet when I was around 10 years old. I named him George Bush. (why, you ask? No idea, I am not even American 😆) I had George for one week before he escaped and my mom found him under their bed, so we had to release him. We brought him to Goo Lake, and I like to think he is lord of that swamp now.

September 2022 is the month marking 35 years of Star Trek TNG, the show that introduced me to the Star Trek universe and Science Fiction as a whole, and shaped so much of my life.

Over on Twitter, I was asked to take part in the #TNG35Art, where many artists who love TNG will be showing art they made in celebration each day of the month.

I had the pleasure of making this portrait of Guinan, with her knowing gaze and enigmatic smile. I am looking forward to seeing the art this month in celebration of Star Trek and following some new artists <3
