I've been doing a fundraiser for a teenage friend who has cancer - selling little pieces of art through my etsy. Its been fun and challenging to keep up with the orders. It feels really good to finish and ship stuff. I don't get to do much of that. These are more tiny art pieces than illustrations, but I'm learning some good techniques.

@artwithashley Thank you! The earthquake was scary for sure, but we are all safe and had no damage to the house at all. We live on the Kenai peninsula (south of Anchorage) so we didn't get hit as badly, but our town was evacuated up the hill for a few hours because we are right on the water in the tsunami threat area.

@artwithashley I love this! It’s so pretty and your snowmen are adorable. Nice to see someone else doing illustration with cut paper!

@nellia this is just so beautiful and peaceful! I love it!

These are great!! Wow!

@nasvikdraws thank you!

I've actually been planning and sketching and working this one out in my head for quite a while. I love cut paper and tiny things so I made this candy tin illustration/ diorama (inspired by Neil Gaiman's "Neverwhere")this month. It feels like you open the lid on a tiny magical world. I'll definitely be making more. It took a lot of planning to figure out how I wanted the layers and then I had to paint and place all these impossibly small elements, but it was really fun.

I put mine in a post on the forums a while back. Will id work if I post a link? I'll give it a go.

Just pulled it up. I'll let you know what I think!

@shiggins180 Love this. Its pretty much me, but I've got an audio book plugged in.
