It keeps snowing in Maine but I hear that Sasha is on her way, with a spring in her step 🌷

For a few ...years? now there's been a glitch on a number of my etsy listings where they stayed posted without charging me the 20¢ renewal fee every four months. I've probably saved a few hundred dollars! Well someone caught on and Etsy sent me an email last month warning that they would be manually delisting everything on April 1 and if I didn't want an interruption in the shop I should manually renew them. So of course I waited, and April 1 comes and goes with everything still up, and I'm thinking did they try and trick me into paying without actually fixing anything?!

Sadly someone was doing their job because I just checked in (April 4) and most of the shop is down.

Ah well, it was good while it lasted! Anyway ALL of my art is on my own site artbasealpha.com and if you visit on desktop you get to play with rainbow cursor stars. And me? I live to scam another day. 😎

I always include a hand drawn card with every order, but once in a blue moon I'll do a mini printmaking session instead. These are foam prints on hand painted paper ✿

🌷 April is on the march, bringing spring showers with big flowers 🌦️

Ooh I had so much fun making a new batch of block prints, even if my attempt to summon spring might be resulting in some ...minor... flooding.

My boss is using AI to make all the new fabrics for her next collection.... Please consider supporting my work in any way you can so I don't have to do this 9-5 forever, I really want to get out of it by next year but I don't know if that's possible anymore.

Anything helps, sharing and spreading my work is hugely helpful. My work is (VERY CLOSE TO) zero waste and the planet is my top priority. Thanks guys

YES, entire planets keep disappearing from our galactic quadrant, but stop blaming the supermassive nebula kittens! That's just lazy. 🙄

Moss Bear awayyyyy! 🌱🐻🌈

I am so pleased to bid this spacecraft adieu and watch them fly off to their new home.

I painted Moss Bear in 2018, and believe me it doesn't feel like 6+ years have passed. It was my first year focusing on making art full-time, and it's fun to see which paintings have since sold and which are still hanging out, waiting for their perfect person. I will miss this fella's mellow presence on my wall, but I always hoped this day would come :')

Keep an eye on your gardens; if you're lucky enough to be in the flight path of a Moss Bear your plants are about to flourish.

Happy Spring!

Out on a little walk and I see an adorable black cat strolling down a long driveway. I call out and they speed up, making a beeline for me! I crouch down, ready to give them scritches, and without breaking stride the cat veers right past me and crosses the street.

Beautiful!!!

I think the pimocat would make a perfect dragon's companion. Could they be from the same planet? 💕
