~Backyard Cats~

I have two lovely cats that used to roam "free" in a fenced-off backyard, hence the name 'Backyard Cats'. Unfortunately after moving to Eastern Europe, I haven't been able to find an (affordable) place with a place where Tommy and Ricky can enjoy the outside air in a safe and secure manner. We now live in an apartment, and the cats are fully indoors. They do have access to a secured open window. Going from outdoor to indoor has been challenging for everyone involved, with especially Ricky finding it hard to adjust. I try my best to comfort and entertain her every single day. If you'd like, you can watch videos about the lives of my cats on the Backyard Cats YouTube Channel!

My Art

Thank you so much for coming to check out my art! I know it sounds cliche - but I've loved drawing since I was able to hold a pencil. So that is what I continued doing throughout my life. First on paper, then digitally. In fact, I used to draw on paper, create the lineart with a fineliner and scan in my art using an old Simplex Scanner and colored it using iPhoto Plus 4 while many people already moved over to digital inking. It's been a long process of learning, but I'm happy to have learned so much throughout the years!

I make my art with love and dedication. I upload the highest possible quality versions of my art on my own website - on paid hosting - and I even make free art for others when I have time. In addition, I make a lot of art available for free or for a very small fee on my Ko-fi page - graphics, assets, wallpapers, bases, emotes, icons, printables and more. This is also where you can drop a small donation if you appreciate my work. Not just for my art, but also my my work in general. My blog articles about life, art tips & tutorials, other useful articles, and more. Thank you!
