My crested gecko kiki is so cute and I am always wanting to dress her up! Making a cartoon drawing of her allows me to do all the cute pictures I want to take of her without her getting annoyed with my shenanigans. Like this adorable christmas crestie cartoon ;)

"Hygge" or the art of coziness can be found in some form in all Scandinavian countries and is a tradition in my Scandinavian-American family. We love cuddling up with a comfort movie or book and spending time together wrapped in fuzzy blankets with hot coco or tea. My mom and I are especially into this when it comes to all the comfort food and cozy stuff we do around this time of the year. So I made this especially with her in mind with little favorites like cinnamon rolls, favorite treats, and Swedish ornaments, love you Mom!

Brown Bears are found across much of the northern hemisphere where you can also see northern lights so it only made sense to make a art piece of the two together. Also my husband loves bears and I wanted to make an art piece to

Coffee is one of my favorite things in the world especially all the different kinds you can get it in. I have no particular favorite at the end of the day as long as it tastes good and keeps me caffeinated and functioning it is good coffee! Plus it is so much fun to draw!

Snowshoeing is one of my favorite winter outdoor activities. Traditional wooden snowshoes are very beautiful and intricate too. This snowshoe design was made using a limited palette of Dark Oak (#3E2118), Saddle (#764324) and Santa Fe (#9A6841) on a white (#ffffff) background. It has great neutral rich browns that are sure to match any home decor whether in winter or another season. It brings out cabin and up north vibes while maintaining a minimalist beauty and elegance.

Plants are a love language. Plant give oxygen, food, art, joy, and so much more. Plants are life, and make the perfect gift for anyone as you can never have too many plants!

These cuddly sleeping orange tabbies is exactly what I need after a long day of having to people around other people. The last few months I feel have really shown how exhausting it is interacting with other humans. Luckily cats are not ;) This goes out to all the cat people may your little furballs give you the reprieve you need from the human world.

The graphic design features a festive traditional red and white Santa hat adorned with fluffy white pom-pom, along with a cool pair of sunglasses. The addition of the sunglasses lends a modern, trendy vibe to the classic Santa hat. Adding to the playful feel, a thick mustache is depicted just beneath the sunglasses. The phrase "Merry Stachemas" is written in playful fancy letters beneath the graphic. The perfect gift for mustached people!

So they may be trashy but they are still cute I am sure plenty of people out there can relate to this maybe even you who are reading this... ;)

I loved mermaids growing up and when I swam I often would play pretending I was one. It has been wonderful watching a new generation of kids getting excited about mermaids and shows being more inclusive as anyone can be a mermaid!

Funny art piece I made for the fishermen in my family since like any other Minnesotan nothing says fish fry quite like Walleye. May this art piece be a reminder to you for delicious fish fry's and family traditions ^_^

To capture all the love that goes into taking care of plant babies I made this as a gift for my friend who is a plant queen I hope I can get my house even a fraction of green as hers! This shows an adorable cartoon woman tending to her plant babies giving them water, sunlight, and love. Perfect adorable design for plant lovers!

Cinnamon rolls are one of my husbands favorite breakfast foods he likes them the size of a plate and covered in caramel or frosting. So it's no surprise I had to make this graphic for him so I could put it on a t-shirt for him! I also really love rolls specifically orange rolls they bring up a lot of good memories from my childhood. :)

What better way than two cute humboldt penguins holding flippers as penguins like many other animals have gay animals within their species just living their best life being a penguin.

Naturalists are known for taking forever on hikes as they get distracted from the main "quest" by all the nature side quests along the way! Please be patient with us naturalists while on hikes as side quests are just as important as the main quest and add to the fun of the journey!

There is a new cutie in town stirring up trouble at my friend's Ragdoll household. This new little addition will sit if he fits, even if another cat is already occupying the spot. It really goes without saying all ragdolls know just how cute they are and try to push the rules and this new little one certainly knows it.

I hope you find this little round boi just as cute as you find your fuzzy bunny friend!

I was told that when southerners say bless your heart it doesn't always have good intent behind it. And since then the phrase has always stirred up deadly cupcake vibes in my brain of southern belles plotting your demise behind their smiles. My sister in law is always using this phrase and is a huge SSDGM and murderino fan and was the OG inspiration for this piece. I hope you other true crime fans enjoy it too!

When it comes to happy hours one of my top favorites is Tuesdays. Why? Because if you are at the right place there is a discount on their tacos and they are REALLY GOOD tacos that the restaurant is practically giving away?!? Frankly it is a great marketing scheme so take my money and give me the tacos.

Autumn has to be hands down my favorite season of the year and it's such a bummer that it is one of the shortest seasons in Minnesota. There really is way too much stuff to love about this season.
