This is one of the raw pages from my new Scary Cat book. The first part of the book features a bunch of fun activities one can do in a birthday. I tried to keep it all varied. In this page, they are just playing hide and seek. It is a kid’s birthday party after all. If you look in the background, you will see the birthday mime. It is the first time he appears officially in the book plot. I thought it would be funny to have him as a background character. In the foreground, there is the birthday...

Today I felt like doing a nice photoshoot of my first bjd doll. She was also the first doll I bought in like forever.

The vampire doll arrived earlier than expected. I ordered the doll last Christmas. The store was having a Christmas special sale or whatever. It seemed like a good a time as any to get a new doll. It also seemed like fun to have a vampire doll for Halloween. In addition to the doll, I also got some new outfits and wig. For the time being, I want to focus on the new doll in specific. She has a nice ghostly vibe to her. She also came with an interesting set of blue eyes. Then again, most of my dolls...

I recently got around to completing my new Scary Cat kids book. This one focuses on her meeting a birthday mime that she is afraid of. I was at first going to do clowns, but I thought that mime would be something more original. The mime is at a friend’s house. Scary Cat was invited to someone else’s birthday party, so she did not know about the mime. Anyhow, I wanted to show you one of my favorite drawings from my book. I drew an amassing looking cake. When you go to someone else’s birthday party, you spend most of...
