Just a lil’ doodle, while I’ve been working on some things that won’t be ready for a while.

Misophonia & more
Happy New Year! I had a busy holiday season with my Etsy shop, which is leading into a busy Valentine’s Day, so I haven’t had as much time here as I’d like. I’m also redoing my main portfolio site and this blog will also get a makeover soon. I like the Nexus theme a lot, but my artwork tends to have a lot of bright, even garish or gaudy colors, and displaying them against each other with no space between them to breathe just didn’t look good.
I’m still enjoying illustrating various neuroses of mine and others. I had no idea what misophonia was until last year, and I can’t say I have a serious case of it, but certain “small” noises have always bothered me. Loud eating and other sounds coming from the mouth are the main culprit. As a kid it was knuckle-cracking, but thankfully I don’t know anyone who still does that. Please don’t do it the next time you see me— it’s a nasty habit that leads to arthritis!

Anxiety Diary
One day at a time. I like the idea of an Anxious Deli, where all the snacks are constantly rustling and crinkling their packaging when you come in.

Dragon Fruit!!
I just tried dragon fruit (aka pitaya) for the first time. I was surprised at its dewy smell, just like fresh figs. This is probably the start of a very expensive (but healthy!) habit.

Lost Bakery Sketch
A while ago, I designed a new website for a French bakery. They wanted about five different sketches for the home page. We went with one that depicted the bakery’s storefront, a sidewalk scene, with a limited pale yellow and golden brown color palette. I thought this rejected sketch of the counter would look nice with a full-color treatment. N.B.: The background is the same paper I used for my wedding invitations!
