The Quirky Cat

Got the Feburary Paletteful and the these brushmarkers are so fluid~~~~ Almost felt like water colors I got a rose on Valentine's day and it put a goofy smile on my face for the whole day #palettefulpacks #brushmarkers #rose #drawing #karin #karinbrushmarkers #valentine #flower #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/BuSkYW3h-Bw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=r9qxaspknte1

I made the first 4 pieces of my LGBTQIA+ series into stickers! They are available at my Etsy Shop: QuirkyKitties. https://www.etsy.com/shop/QuirkyKitties?ref=search_shop_redirect But that is not all! I am donating 50% of the proceeds of my LGBTQIA+ sticker sales to the National Center for Transgender Equality. They work to change policies that discriminate against transgender people and provide resources for activists in their local communities. I want to help my queer brothers, sisters, and those in between, using my art. We still have a long way to go. Why the NCTE? Because I believe in their mission. I want to show my support and solidarity. #lgbt #lgbtqia #stickers #etsyshop #gaypride #bipride #transpride #gayflag #biflag #transflag #bisexual #gay #trans #paintings #origami https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq8xP9uh5Fk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=151kuca1l5qi3

Learn from my mistakes.

Hey everyone! I finally finished editing my speed paint video of my trans pride painting "This Rose Named Himself." Check it out!

I thought it would be cute to draw a werewolf leading his little monster friends along. Also I was not aware that I ship Dracula X Frankenstein's Monster.

First one is ZomBee so I draw the bee kwamii from Miraculous Ladybug as "zombie." I also got Tikki in the background as a mummy as a bonus!

Holy crap this painting kicked my ass. It was surprisingly very challenging for me to point where I repainted this 3 times and had to remove the origami flowers after I had glued because I did not like the direction I was going. But finally, I feel happy about this piece. On to the next one!

"I Love in Shades of Magenta, Purple, and Blue" My love is not meant to be black and white. Not when this beautiful palette exist. So I will use these shades to paint the love I know was destined for me to make. So this was the first art piece where I combined origami and painting. I am very excited to see where this style will take me!

"My Love is Natural" Feelings, attraction, and desire are not traits a person can control. They can only grow into the person you are meant to be. These feelings are natural so let them blossom.

"I Would Fold A Thousand Cranes Just to Wish to Be with You. So I Did." Took me about a month to fold 1,000 cranes to make a wish. It was a silly one but it still meant a lot to me. After I was done I decided to make this figure in the bisexual flag colors with the gay pride flag in the background.

"Birds of a Feather" Oil Paint, paper cranes For a while now I have been wanting to make a series of paintings featuring LGBTQIA+ people while incorporating the colors of the flag they represent and origami. For this one I chose origami cranes.
