Unicorns are complex symbols. They are the ultimate representation of  innocence, as well as love and devotion. They stand proud on coats of arms, emblems of courage and strength. They are also symbols of sacrifice, as we know from our tapestries, woven records of hunts for them. They are avatars of the sacred beauty of nature, and the curse of its fragility. They represent something older and just beyond humanity’s understanding- something pure, which we are not.

Tears too, are complex. Tears flow with any emotion felt deeply, wether it be elation or dismay, or rage, or fear, or relief. Crying is something deeply primal that we cannot control, like hunger and bleeding, yet what other animal cries? Tears are a cleanse, a chance to reset and try again, to become for an instant, something pure.

My first submission to this year’s Month of Love challenge! This week’s prompt was “Tears,” which got me all swept up in my feelings.

I had the pleasure of getting to design this piece for @fleurwomb, writer and witch extraordinaire. This was such a fun piece to sink my teeth into - let me draw roses and snakes forever 😘

Rare personal post incoming- I’m engaged!! My bf Alex and I have been going out for the last six years, and he proposed at the end of our anniversary dinner. He’s been such an inspiration to me and such a source of strength and support, and he’s a whole bunch of fun to hang out with too. I’m so happy and so excited. I’ve loved this guy more every day we’ve spent together, and I can’t wait to keep doing just that. I’m excited for whatever the future holds. I love you so much, my dear. 💕

New Piece Tomorrow!

Hello my darlings! Thank you for your patience between uploads, but I’ll have a new piece posted tomorrow evening. I got in a little over my head on this one- I ink most of my drawings in one session, but this one took a good three or four. I’m really pleased with how it turned out, so be sure to check back tomorrow to see it! Or to see some sneak peeks now, visit my instagram page to see some detail shots in my stories.

Happy halloween, my lovelies! I feel so happy at the close of this October. Even though I didn’t draw as much as I was hoping, I feel like I made a lot of steps towards marketing my art (which is the part I’ve always been bad at 😅) I’ve met so many great people through the pop-ups I’ve done, and am on the verge of opening an online store, which will carry these little bunny block prints! I hope you all have a wonderful night!

Hey all! My apologies for the delay since my last update. October’s proven to be a pretty bonkers month for me. I’m participating in Inktober, participating in two shows here in KC, and preparing to open an online store at the end of the month! These two mini-drawings (they’re only 2x2″!) will be available there in matching gold frames. And to keep up with my daily drawings this month, follow me on Insta too!

I’m in Portland for the week, but I actually drew this when Oklahoma legalized medical use. Dare I say, live deliciously?
