I'm sort of participating in this year's Inktober! I'll post anything I finish here. There's also a huge backlog of work that I haven't uploaded yet, so keep an eye on my gallery for a bunch of new stuff!

At the end of 2016 I decided to stop making fan art and create originals exclusively. It's so far been amazing! Watercolour paintings are new to me but I love the medium - that's what I've been working on lately. I'm freelance now as well so I'm working on creating a professional portfolio. The upcoming months are going to be full of conventions, markets, painting, and more. 

It's the best decision I've ever made. Sure, at the moment it's not the best financially, but I know that if I can make it til the con season starts I'll be A-OK! :)

 I know I don't upload to NG too often but I wanted to say thank you for loving my work and supporting me since 2009! I've recently launched a Patreon for myself and if you are interested, please check it out and consider supporting me in a way that truly counts. For less than three coffees a month you can get access to NSFW posts and more. Here's the link, and thanks again! https://www.patreon.com/pickletoez

Haaay~~

I've finally found a balance of work and hobbies, so I've been drawing more lately! Look forward to seeing some new shit from me. I'm also open for commissions - if you were interested please message me on FB :)

I have a new colouring book! 26 pages of goddesses and mythological women from all over the world. It features a lot of body diversity as well - not just thin/plus, but skin conditions, cancer survivors, scars. With this book I'm aiming to show kids that every body is beautiful, not an in-your-face way but a more subtler touch. None of the disabilities or qualities are 'showcased,' they are a part of the goddess and they look more beautiful because of it.

Grab it here for $20 CAD before Dec. 5th and it's guaranteed to be yours by Christmas!

Hey guys! Since my last post in March I've done a lot of stuff! I know most of you will be crushed, but I got married! NBD. I need more excuses to wear giant princess dresses cos I looked so hot. Here's a shot of me & the lucky man, plus one of my favorite bridesmaids. ;)

My colouring book was printed in April! I am STILL super proud of it, so please take a look at it on my Etsy and consider purchasing it for yourself or a friend ♥ 

The whole month of July has been tedius prepwork for the rest of the year- the conventions I have left, the markets I'm about to be in, and future projects. August looks like a steady stream of work for me and I'm looking forward to it. 

I might be working on a comic (or a series of little comics) so I'll keep NG in the loop with that too! :)

Hey guys! I'm about to publish a colouring book - it's all about Monster Girls! For the month of March I drew a new girl daily, and now that it's complete I can show you some preview images! 

I'll be selling these in person at my next comic cons as well as my Etsy site in two weeks! I'm incredibly excited for this book. :) It's got a lot of body acceptance as well, there's a chubby mermaid with a mastectomy and an amputee.

Sabtastic and I are going to the Edmonton Expo on October 20th and 21st. We're gonna be selling our prints, buttons, and stickers! Yaaay! I've been working daily on getting art projects done - shoe commissions, prize art, actual art designs, etc. It's really draining me, honestly. I can't take much more.

I have been celebrating joblessness since my contract ended at the summer camp and I returned from Ontario. I think I've been jobless a whole month now, wee! All of the money I make from my future job will go to saving up for school next year. And I MEAN it-- I always say I'm going to save my money but somehow I never do. I saved up a shitload for my super fun vacation, but saving for a boring thing like school is really hard. Luckily my boyfriend makes school sound somewhat fun, so hopefully I won't have much trouble.

Anyway if you guys want my shitty sketchbook sketch updates, go to my Tumblr.

Long time no see, eh? Well, for the time being, I'm jobless and therefore have no excuse to not be drawing.

For the first week of being jobless, I've been playing on the server I help out on, called "Dreamcraft.org." It's pretty fricken sweet. That week however proved to be tiring, seeing all the 12 year old drama queens screaming and begging for free teleports made me want to pull my hair out. I realised that I'm not getting paid for this, so what point was there in being on all day?

So this week I've been doing things other than play games. I've been drawing, I suntanned (and got burned), I've been going out, etc.

Next friday I start my job as Housekeeping Manager at a summer camp. I'll be cleaning and doing laundry and stuff. :) I can't wait.

Anyway look forward to more posts from me. Hopefully when I get back into the daily grind it doesn't affect my photoshop time.

I have been feeding my addiction to Minecraft rather than drawing anything other than work doodles, so I'm sorry to say that I don't have much to bring to the NG table. The few drawings I do are on paper, so they aren't easy to scan and submit here. I do check this site often now, and I'll hopefully be getting a level 10 in a week or so!

Here's a tiny update in my life: My adorable cat Luna escaped through the screen door at the end of August. I fully blame it on my landlord. She said that she'd fix the screen within a week because she had maintainence 'round the clock. Since August was a hot month, we had the glass door open often. My cat found a weak spot in the frame and popped through it. While posting Lost posters, a woman said she had a gray kitten that she couldn't keep, so we brought it home and named it Toshiba. He's a little shitter, but he's my new baby, so it's okay.

Not two weeks ago, my boyfriend broke up with me. It's hard to really define the line where we stopped dating, because he's still living with me, and when I talk about him, I still sometimes call him my boyfriend. For a couple days I was really depressed but my friends and family helped me pull through. On the 1st of December, he's moving out, and I'm moving across the hallway, where Sabtastic and her boyfriend will be moving in. We're definitely still staying friends.

So yeah.. Oh, here's something I did a couple years ago for school.
And here's something I forced myself to start a while ago, based off a cool kickass dream I had.
And here's an update of what I look like.

And here's little Toshiba.

I'm working on a couple things right now. I'm doing a warm-up animation, random practice animation, and lots and lots of paper sketches. I've scanned most of them, but I never have time to finish them digitally. ANYWAY Just a minor update to let everyone know that I'm not lurking around. :P

In three days I'll be gone on vacation for two weeks so I figured I should update all my blogs and or art galleries. I actually haven't done anything except for the new Blue Link drawing, and I'll finish another drawing for another prize winner before Saturday night.

I'm so excited. I'm visiting my best friend and we've planned so many things for my trip to see her. I've already started packing - I need two suitcases! hahaha We're gonna go to museums, water parks, and hang out with all my old friends. EEEE SO EXCITED

I want to push my FormSpring - I really like it when people ask me questions. :)

ALSO My BFF got me to design a crapload of star tattoos and she got one done behind her ear!

Alright, so here's a WIP of something I haven't touched in a month. It's Fred sitting in her favourite chair in her sun-room.
