Slightly irreverently twisted The Rots are fun, twisted little creatures that I draw and paint and sculpt and felt.

The Rots shop is a mixture of handmade originals and printed classics, greeting cards, prints, books and wearables.

Did a little drawing today at the Lincoln Highway Experience with some friends from the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art - Ligonier Valley Quick Draw event. I used my Koh-I-Noor Aquarelle Coloured Pencils for some nice watercolor effects.

If you’re also an artist and want to make your own watercolor monster art, you can get some great supplies for 15% off $20 or more at the Chartpak Factory Store if you use code NORA during checkout:

I can't pinpoint where you can find her here in this post, but if you check my pinned posts at the top of my page that may be of help. I don't know what else to do here.

Please check any page on The Rots website for a link to get notifications when I post on my blog. I'm sorry it's coming to this, but I may have to direct my energies to my blog or maybe my old (disabled) Patreon page.

Welp, the Pittsburgh Pirates were mathematically eliminated overnight while I slept. And by the time the Padres won, it was officially National Talk Like a Pirate Day local time 😩, which is very insensitive of them.

So, as with every fall, here's hoping they right the ship next year. 🏴‍☠️

This is a promotional painting I made back in my kid's book days, titled Red Beard.

Aaarrrrrgh.

I realized the other day as I was working on this year's holiday card that I never finished posting the other digital work I finished this year!

These are all part of an awareness campaign for The Bay Foundation and City of Santa Monica’s dunes restoration project. I'll post one at a time so they don't get lost behind their buddies.

This one is Melody!

This little monster is up for adoption at Cactus Gallery! Her name is Frostbite. The second image is the full painting, and the first image is her close-up (which she's ready for).

Here's one creeping around at Stranger Factory!! Don't you just love this time of year when all the creepy-crawlies sneak their way out of the shadows and make themselves at home?

Yeah, that's the best.
