Photo of a 4x4 print of my piece, "Book Haven". It's an illustrtion of a girl reading in a home library filled with books, plants, and knick-knacks.
Photo of a mini print of my Rapunzel at the Park illustration. The illustration is of someone Disney bounding as Rapunzel - but with my own twist on the Rapunzel Minnie-Ears, because I think the official ones are dumb (sorry if you love them). My version has the kingdom's sun emblem on both ears and Pascal sitting in the middle. Behind the Rapunzel-bounder is a cluster of Mickey Balloons because I think they're adorable and will never stop finding them kind of magical.
Illustration of a red headed girl (young lady) holding a basket of daisies. Beside her is handwritten "Hello June" because I have nothing original to say and even if someone wanted to buy this piece I'm a little worried I've gotten too close to the original inspiration to sell it any way, so why bother?

Illustration of a happy little girl dressed up as Cinderella. Drawn by Melody Foster, 2026.

Illustration of a little girl sitting cross legged on the floor, watching the "Mister Roger's" crayon factory segment. She's watching it on a television set from the early 80s and that is sitting ontop of a small entertainment center with slots for casset tapes, glass doors in the middle that probably house a record player, and two large drawers beneath that may or may not be hiding a wealth of VHS tapes. Loosely inspired by my childhood tv watching setup.

TeePublic Logo a. Cold Weather Pup Tote (mislabled on graphic, it's actually "Sweater Weather Pup) The only thing cuter than a dachshund, is a dachshund in a cable knit sweater. b. Kitty Kitty Toddler T Ok, so maybe your bestie's toddler doesn't have refined tastes yet, but this is how we build them folks. c. Rainy Day Friends Mug I drew this for one of my nieces, but it was so cute I had to put it in the shop. Perfect for every bunny lover. d. Fox Girl Magnet (also mislabled, shown is a sticker, the magnet is round) Another girl with a fox? Yeah. This isn't even the only other one. I had a serious girl & her fox phase a couple years ago. e. Ginger Cat Socks There are people who love all cats and there are people who specifically love a huge ginger cat - and 50% of them are authors. There's a big ginger cat in SO many books that I couldn't consign this guy to just one. He's wandering through multiple series, capturing hearts and mice.
Red Bubble Logo a. Kitty Kitty Tall Mug Designed for all my cat loving friends b. Robins Backpack American Robins are... fine. But European Robins make you realize why so many Brits wrote books with good, helpful robins in them. They're adorable! c. Pup Car Zippered Pouch Same cute car, but on a handy zippered pouch. D. Fox & Flowers Journal For the friend who dreams of having a pet fox. Real foxes are smelly and destructive, but this fox will always be sweet and cuddly. E. Tiny Bun Throw Blanket What's cozier than a fluffy bunny on a fuzzy blanket?

a. Dorothy & Toto Natural Tote For your Wizard of Oz fan who may or may not be slightly irked by the popularity of Wicked and it's retelling b. Rapunzel’s Garden Pouch For the classic fairy-tale lover who enjoys a slight re-imagining of the traditional story imagery c. Book Faramir Would Never T If you know a fan of the Lord of the Rings books, you know someone who still writhes a bit when they think of Peter Jackson's treatment of Faramir. d. Drink Me Socks For anyone who loves Alice in Wonderland and flashy socks e. White Rabbit Toddler Hoodie For pint-sized Wonderland lovers f. Anne Waits Coasters There's lots of fan-art for L.M. Montgomery's classic, Anne of Green Gables, but is it on a coaster set?
a. Bloom As If You Mean It Kids T Anne Shirley says the flowering tree "blooms as if it meant it" and that seems like good advice for all of us. As a bonus, it seems that Lucy Maude Montgomery took both this line and the name of the gernium from her own journals - knowledge which will give any Anne of Green Gables fan the thrilliest thrill. b. Not in Kansas Anymore Magnet Whether you're gifting to someone who loves the Wizard of Oz in book or movie form - this little magnet is a great stocking stuffer or gift topper. c. Punky Power Pin Ok, maybe there isn't a fandom around Punky Brewster, but your elder millenial friends and relations will be charmed by this tiny hit of nostalgia. d. Oh Lizzie! Mug My personal favorite Pride & Predjudice adaptation is the 1995 BBC version. This mug hosts an illustration of Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth Bennet along with Mrs. Bennet's constant refrain. Will no one have compassion on her poor nerves? e. The Frog Princess Tote For that person who loves the original fairytale over the Disney version (which is charming, but it's own thing). f. Rapunzel’s Garden Pillow Perfect for your fairytale loving friends and family to put in their own rooms and brighten things up.

This print pictures Alice glancing back at you with a key and a bottle marked "drink me" in her pocket.

A blatant ad for Custom Portraits. Below the headline is an illustration of a young lady (my niece) with green & teal hair, looking delighted because I drew this in 2022. Under the portrait, the ad urges viewers to order now to ensure Christmas delivery. Suggesting that I am either incredibly booked, incredibly slow, or possibly that I made this in November of 2022 and don't have a version of this graphic that does not reference Christmas. In a green triangle, at the bottom, it suggests you DM for pricing.
An illustration of Rapunzel in her tower. In this version, Rapunzel is Indian and her flowing hair has little leaves entwines in it. A blue bird is flying to her, bringing her more leaves. Her room is filled with flowers and there is another bluebird sitting on some white flowers in the foreground.
