Fox Family

Colored Pencil on 24"x36" Rives Paper

Gift for my sister completed in 2024 (which I can finally post, now that it's in her hands). The return to traditional media was a struggle, but I'm still pleased with how this turned out.

Endurance · Fidelity · Intelligence

This year marks the 100 year anniversary of the Nome serum run. After recently reading the book, The Cruelest Miles, documenting the sled dog relay, I wanted to draw Leonhard Seppala's lead dog—Togo. Leonhard and his team traversed the farthest distance and conquered some of the most hazardous terrain.

When choosing a word for the year, "indomitable" stood out from the plaque dedication to the sled dogs found on the statue of Balto in New York City's Central Park.

With the way the world is going...I want to be un-tameable, un-subduable. To endure the long race. To conquer the hazards of life.

A spot illustration in my bullet journal which turned out better than I hoped.

Featuring an iris and prairie sage to represent "wisdom" for my Library Collection. (Also a bumble bee because they're heckin' deckin' cute & a ladybug for good luck.)

The Uncaged Wrath of Zaun

As a Warwick main, I was sorely disappointed in his Arcane design. I understand the changes were likely to contrast the man vs. the beast and to keep some semblance of Vander. Still, I really missed his fully-furred, toothy-muzzle and ears.

They totally got his frenetic savagery down, though—I'll give them that! (I also definitely cried just a little bit at the reunion scene. Just a little... weh.)
