It's been so quiet around this account, but I promise I am still alive! My life has been completely absorbed in the art side of things while I've been wrapping up my birthstone art project. For those who missed my prior posts about it, this project is a combination of all of my passions, folklore, fashion, and the fantastical.
Just this past month, I've finally finished them all! I'm excited to move forward into the self-publication phase to get this art out into the world, beginning with a coloring book I'm funding this month via Kickstarter!
But I couldn't have done it without the hard work of many of my favorite stock artists here! Many of the paintings from this series drew on part or all of a pose from dA stock artists for inspiration. Enjoy a feature collecting some of the paintings from the Ladies of the Months series and their stock inspiration!
I hope you all enjoyed a glimpse into the talented muses who helped inspire me for this series! You can view the whole collection of the paintings for each month online here. Or here on dA:
Thanks for looking. I wish you all inspiration and happy coloring!

Account Revamp! Free Stock?!
Long time, no see, stock fans! I have admittedly been quiet on this account for a long while. Life just sort of...happened, as it is wont to do! I graduated college, got married, and became a pro artist. Life got busy and this account was left behind (though I'd occasionally drop in to check messages and share any spare stock from my projects). In that time, I also expanded this account to include my art marketing tips, advice, and other resources. I'm happy to say I'm finally back! After experiencing the generosity of folks like @AdorkaStock and @JookpubStock , who have been invaluable in helping me bring my paintings to life as as an illustrator, I have made the major decision to transition most of my stock references here to being free for commercial use. Read on for a few of the big changes happening at this account! What's Changing at this Account? Free Stock A large majority of my stock is going to be made completely free to use for commercial projects (with some
Art Biz Suppliers Master List
As a working artist, I am often asked what printers, supplies, packaging, etc. I use. I've finally started collecting a list of my favorite suppliers with reviews of those suppliers and referral links at my blog. I thought it worth sharing here, since this account has started to expand from hosting not only stock, but my other helpful resources for artists as well.
More to be added to this list in the future as I have time to review them. I hope it helps someone out! Please share the link, if you find it useful.
As for stock, I actually have a backlog to upload here, but life has been so crazy (from hospitalized relatives to moving from a
More Art Nouveau Stock COMING SOON!
Greetings, all! I'm still alive at this account! I've been more than preoccupied with IRL concerns, a 2 month long mentorship, and a big new art project I'm embarking on that I'm excited to share with you!
You might remember these Art Nouveau themed stock sets?
They were the product of the photo shoots I did for reference for these Art Nouveau paintings I was working on:
Now, I'm really excited to return to the Ladies of the Months series to complete the rest of the Ladies for the other months!
Not only am I creating a painting, but I'm creating a matching leather carved mask for each Lady! I figured why not be ambitious?
What does
The Muse's Library on Gumroad!
I'm excited to announce that I've started making my stock available on Gumroad! It's now easier than ever to purchase my stock, as Gumroad allows you to pay by credit card or Paypal.
While my stock is mainly available for personal use for FREE, commercial use/access to the high res files requires payment. I try to keep my packs at $10 and less because I know how it is living on an artist's shoe string budget.
I'm also uploading my business tutorials onto this same shop for those of you seeking tips on mat-cutting, conventions for artists, and other such topics.
Purchasing my stock allows you to show your support for me as an artist AND
