Those who follow me on Instagram have already seen these, but I wanted to compile my Inktober drawings since this is the first time I’ve completed a full challenge. My theme for 2016 was Cats in Video Games and I ended up having a lot of fun figuring out (and drawing!) different felines from games I enjoy.

I tried to do the Outfit A Day challenge this past July. I managed to complete 15 days but most of them were pen sketches. It would be fun to start another round since fall clothes are my favorite ♥

And finally! The Summer Reading Club illustration for the Children’s program “Fizz BOOM Read.” I was super excited to have this year’s theme be all about science :)

Summer Reading Club spot illustration for the Teen’s theme “Spark A Reaction”.

Here’s one of the Summer Reading Club spot illustrations I finished back in May. This one is for the Adult SRC which is themed “Literary Elements”.

I haven’t been doing a good job of keeping my tumblr updated, but here are some of my final sketches for Northern Tier Library’s Summer Reading Club Program. This is my fourth year doing work for them and it’s always a lot of fun.

I was recently commissioned by Northern Tier Regional Library to create a simple trio of icons for their Children’s Story Time programs. Since the programs are grouped by age, I wanted something that would subtly show a theme of development so I went with a caterpillar, chrysalis (which is as inaccurate as you can get but was requested by the client to be made “cute” and understandable for the sake of visual continuity), and butterfly.

More sketchbook doodles! This time ~☆ cats in space ☆~

A class assignment to create an illustration based on the theorized origin of a nursery rhyme. I went with Hey Diddle Diddle which some believe helped children remember the best time to start planting since the characters correspond with constellations that are visible together during April. The lineup goes: cat/leo, fiddle/lyra, cow/taurus, little dog/canis minor (omitted for issues of space), dish/crater, & spoon/big dipper.

Hot One! A poster I illustrated for The 8x10 when Hot One was performing at their venue (which my roommate was SO EXCITED for since half of their members played for Shudder to Think and Cosmicoco’s a total Velvet Goldmine junkie ♥)

Things have been quiet around here (which I apologize for) so I’m going to share some work that I never had a chance to post, like Renji who’s a plush request from last year :)

And finally~! the SRC illustration for the Children’s theme “Dig Into Reading”. The Children’s program is a bit unique in that each of the six weeks has its own sub-theme, so I took my inspiration from weeks five and six which focus on Underground Treasure and Caves.

Summer Reading Club spot illustration for the Teen’s theme “Beneath the Surface”.

Here’s one of the Summer Reading Club spot illustrations I finished this past week! This one’s for the Adult SRC which is themed “Ground Breaking Reads”.
