Painting some trees

/ Art & Comics / , ,

This morning was my first time attending a ✨ botanical sketching meetup! ✨

It’s a local group that meets once a month in different parks to draw/paint some nature. I’ve been wanting to paint outside more AND I’ve been wanting to share with other artists, so this was a win-win situation! Plus, there’s something about “go paint around the park and we’ll meet back in an hour to show what we did” that really forces you to focus lmao…..

I got to draw and paint 3 different trees in an hour, which was…surprisingly faster than I expected? Like, what do you mean I can draw and paint a tree with watercolors in about 20 minutes? That’s not even too long! And it’s fun! I should be painting more often!!

Illustrating a short story for Asteroid Day

/ Art & Comics / , ,


June 30th is Asteroid Day! ☄️

The Millennium Institute of Astrophysics (MAS) just published the second edition of their book of short stories for Asteroid Day, where they publish the winners of their yearly writing contest, and pair them with “astro-illustrators”, people with an Astronomy background who also make art…I’m surprisingly not alone in that category!

The first edition of the book came out in 2021 and I couldn’t participate because I was too busy working on The Do-Over, so I’m glad I got the chance to join in for the second edition! I haven’t done illustration work in aaaaaages, so I really struggled with this in the beginning, but I’m pretty happy with the end result.

You can download a digital edition of the book (in Spanish) for free over here!

Avatars 2014–2022

/ Art & Comics / , ,

I was looking through my hard drive the other day and thought it’d be fun to collect all my “yellow” avatars! I’ve been consistently using a variation of the same avatar since 2014, mostly to keep myself easily recognizable.

That last one is a variant that I made specifically for joining new social media platforms (Hive, Threads, Bluesky…et cetera…) because I’m 30 and very tired, haha 💦

Pocket Sketchbook 2021–2023

(the sticker on the cover is a drawing of my D&D characters from my friend Kat!)

For some reason I never share much from my sketchbooks, despite really enjoying looking at other people’s… I feel like “sketchbook tours” and the like weren’t really a thing until very recently, so it doesn’t come naturally to me (plus conflicted feelings re: being online, but that’s a conversation for another day). Anyway, I finished this pocket sketchbook recently and thought it’d be fun to share a bit of it!

I posted the whole sketchbook as a PDF on our Patreon, but here’s a little selection of pages:
