The Decemberists Series
“My thesis was a collection of pieces based on songs by one of my favorite bands, The Decemberists. I chose pieces from throughout their catalog, spanning from their first album, Castaways and Cutouts, to their latest, The King is Dead. Their music is some of the most inspiring I have come across; each song tells a rich, nuanced story. The lyrics can be vague enough to be open to interpretation, but contain enough specificity to make a detail freak like me joyfully hunt down reference images of columbine flowers and mistlethrushes.” Caitlin Clarkson

Of course, this is what it looked like before I started editing out the space cats.
Edge or No Edge?
I started making this picture for Kristina Horner’s things found in space that don’t belong in space contest, but stars take a lot longer to draw than I anticipated. I saw some other people made No Edge jokes, but despite that and the contest being over I still, of course, finished my drawing.
I used black paper and drew an outline in white pencil crayon. The bottom and grid of space are also both done in white pencil crayon. I used slight amounts of other pencil crayon colors to give a bit of a textured look. The majority of the stars were drawn with a silver gel pen, but I also used a variety of colors of triplus gel-liners and metallic markers. The largest silver bits were made with a paint pen.
Anyways, Enjoy!

Dr. Seuss Day everybody!
“I choose to.”
“When can I start?”
“I can take one small step.”
“I can be perfectly human.”
“I must take time to play.”
Reminders from Chapter 3 of the Now Habit by Neil Fiore decorated with the feather stamps I made and some feather drawings.
I love this picture taken in the rain in Quebec.
Another particularly adorable day from the calendar I made for my boyfriend.
