I’ve been slowly building an army, soldier by soldier. Here’s the work in progress of my first piece, “Hearts + Stars”, for my upcoming solo show.
I’ve been updating my progress with each little trooper on Instagram. Here’s what the piece looks like at this very moment (nearly done!):
My favorite part, outside of picking all the colors, is painting all the teeny tiny brushstrokes that make up the fur. It’s SUPER time-consuming, but equally fun. Or I’m just some lunatic that actually enjoys painting ridiculously small lines with a two-haired brush.
With less than two months to finish all the work, it’s safe to say that I should probably turn into a hermit. TO ALL MY FRIENDS: it’s not that I don’t like you, I promise, I just can’t hang right now.
After a quick sojourn to the woods this weekend, I’ll be falling off the face of the planet. Check back here for more fuzzy animals.

This is just an amazing work i love it!
This is fantastic, I thought it was penciled until you mentioned that the fur was individually painted. Well done, keep patient and keep trooping! I can’t wait to see the final version.
I am in love with your art work !
Very Good compliments
