Second video in the Passing the Hat series, trying to drum up interest in the Simply Kitt's Foundation's Fundraising art show next month in Kansas City.  If you're an artist or crafter that knew or was inspired by Kitt Van Hassel, please consider joining us there.

Time for some serious reminders about the Memorial Art show we are putting on in KC next month.  If you want to put a piece of art into the display there we need to know very soon.  Anita Van Hassel and I genuinely hope that a great many of the super talented people that we call friends and who helped Kitt Van Hassel grow into the artist that she became will feel drawn to produce something and exhibit it at this event.  I made a video today about one of the pieces I have in the works, and would love others to share theirs as well.

On stream tonight, I designed this sticker from start to finish for @naevisoddities Subscription Dice Set for April! The theme will be “Creature Encounters” and the only way you can get one of these stickers will be to order yours! You can still get last month’s Dice Set for the theme “Alchemy” to get one of the Alchemouse stickers I designed for March. #diceset #stickerdesign #stickers #limited #watercolor #creatureencounters #mimic #theme #painting #dnd #adventurer #naevi #dice https://www.instagram.com/p/Bufld8jl0s0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gwkdr1zzj2ul

#OCValentinesWeek Day 7: Passionate Kiss! #zivasmisfits ⬇️⬇️⬇️ . I MADE IT! All 7 days of OC Kisses are complete, and wound up with something a little spicier. One of my favorite things about my space pirate story is this “relationship” between Captain Ziva and her flamingly homosexual crew mate, Mattie (aka Mister Extra). That’s all I’m gonna say about that and leave this tasty little bite here for you to chew on ;) . #ocs #ocweek #originalcharacters #characterdesign #illustration #pink #mohawk #mildbdsm #leash #limitedcolor #kiss #passionatekiss #funtimes https://www.instagram.com/p/BuG-WUxFTlk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fzr0a02q6bo

#OCValentinesWeek Day 6: Cute Kiss! #kittsonsandaughters ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Another fun spotlight on a character couple I have with @kitsune_costuming in our story! This is kind of the “main” set, certainly the ones who started it all, and while I’m not overly fond of my dark-haired Bastillion’s appearance in this piece, I think it got the emotion well. Not to mention Demon King Namtaru looks so fecking cute! #gay #homosexual #gayart #gayillustration #gaycouple #illustration #art #characters #originalcharacters #limitedcolor #pink #grey #heart #cutekiss #smooch #blush #smoke https://www.instagram.com/p/BuEG5JQlV5Y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11ntlsiw21m42

#OCValentinesWeek Day 5: Awkward Kiss! #kittsonsandaughters ⬇️⬇️⬇️ I really enjoyed creating the awkward kiss, not gonna lie. My sweet Druid in the middle (Imahli: you can see a better representation of him in my earlier “Draw This In Your Style” post) has acquired not one lover, but two. While Desra, on the right, was the first tiefling to claim the little sweetheart, it wasn’t long before his twin brother, Nasatya (left), had his heart stolen by the child of nature. Sometimes, it must be very awkward to please two needy lovers, but Imahli does his best <3 . #gay #lovers #originalcharacter #characterdesign #awkward #threesome #trio #triad #twins #sharingiscaring #tiefling #druid @kitsune_costuming #illustration #limitedcolor #kisses #cute #pink https://www.instagram.com/p/BuB7QFGlcx2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rj2dsgaql8b9

#ocvalentinesweek Day 4: Surprise Kiss! Swipe to see the mini comic. .
