You should follow me for cool art 🫣 Everything I make is made with heart. This piece took 78+ hours for my son, and honestly I survived on just a few water bottles 🫣😜 (probably less than my boby actually requires).

I do not own the rights to the music.

If you’re visiting from The Story Emporium’s coloring book contest, welcome! I currently have another free coloring page available for download, and I’ll be releasing many more in the future. Make sure to follow so you don’t miss new pages as they drop.

If you’d like to commission your own custom coloring page or an entire coloring book, or if you just enjoy my art and want to connect, I’d love to hear from you. Thank you so much for your support!

For a printable version, if this one doesn't work, you can find a kind to my website where if you click on the coloring page it will take you straight to a downloadable image. I will post my site in the comments below!

Created this whimsical winter coloring page for our local gem, The Story Emporium. A place where imagination lives and stories come to life. ā„ļøšŸ“š

From the snowman with a bucket hat to the Icy window full of books, every detail is a nod to cozy chaos and creative charm.

If you're nearby, stop in and support this lovely indie bookstore, and maybe grab a coloring page while you're at it.

FB: Pixels and Secrets Studio for more art like this!

🌲🌟Last‑Minute Personalized Christmas Gifts!šŸŒ²ā˜ƒļø

I just learned this one in the original post was actually made with AI, so if you want something created with heart and by a real human, me!

I can have your custom piece finished within an hour of me being at my computer, I'll keep you updated on when I start. It can include a name, dates (if you want them), and your very own elf. You can send me a background (your home or any setting you choose), or pick from one of my pre-selected background photos, a photo of your loved one, and we’ll create a personalized elf to go with it.

If elves aren’t your thing, I can still create a sweet, simple memorial-style photo by placing two people side‑by‑side. Nothing overly fancy or posed, just a cute, meaningful image of your loved ones together.

I'm an artist now, so I can make these for you, and I am keeping them affordable at just $20. We take cash, venmo and Facebook pay. ā˜ŗļø

Also, if you don't want a photo created please share this post and help get it out there. That would be a huge help. You can also follow my art page Pixels and Secrets Studio to see my art and portfolio ā˜ŗļø

Tomorrow my 2-D design class comes to a close. For our final, we were asked to create a book for someone we love. I chose my husband, Todd the one who inspires me daily and makes every chapter of my life worth writing.

What makes this even more special is that Todd is walking this art journey right beside me, taking classes next to mine. His final project is a book too, and it’s for me, of course. Two artists, two books, one love story unfolding in pages we’ve created together.

This one’s for my kids, chaotic, cartoon-coded, and brutally accurate.
Dexter (my Dexter) is front and center, swinging Lucille (Max) like a champ.
Hello Kitty? That’s Spencer, catching the sibling wrath as the baby.
Max is the bat, he did teach Dex his ways after all. Julia’s just chilling (Demon Slayer), because usually when the kids are arguing with each other she is just chilling out like "Hi".

After 78+ hours and weeks of obsession… it’s finally done.
Meet Five Nights at Max’s, my full‑scale horror art project, stitched together with blood, chaos, and way too much caffeine.

I’m in love. Max is obsessed. And honestly? I can’t believe it’s finished.
This is the kind of work that eats your life and then rewards you with something terrifyingly beautiful.

Yes, I take commissions. Yes, this talent is for hire. 🤣

✨ As my Computer Graphics class wraps up, I wanted to share a few of the pieces I’ve worked on. They may look simple, but behind them is a lot of effort, trial, and growth.

These are not the glamorous, polished works yet. They are the stepping stones. Each one represents learning the tools, building confidence, and preparing for the more complex and beautiful creations I will be making in the future.

Our professor even mentioned that at one point our beginner class was already outperforming his advanced students, and we managed to finish ahead of schedule.

This is just one chapter of my creative journey. I will be sharing more from my other art class soon, so stay tuned for the next wave of projects. 🌟
