Alice in wonderland Digistamps

Sharing my new digistamps uploaded this week! I love Alice in Wonderland so I planned for awhile to to convert my older detailed illustration to a digistamp. I waited so I could finish and add special chibi versions for Alice and the Mad Hatter! They were both really fun to draw.

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense.” 
― Lewis CarrollAlice Adventures in Wonderland

“I don't think..." then you shouldn't talk, said the Hatter.” 
― Lewis CarrollAlice in Wonderland

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."
"I don't much care where –"
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go.” 
― Lewis CarrollAlice in Wonderland


My colored version of Alice in Wonderland is also available as a print at my regular Etsy store StarInMyPocket  <3

Halloween Pumpkin Witch Digistamp



I always loved this oekaki that I did when I was younger of a Halloween witch ~ oekaki are drawn on an oekaki community board that gives you a very basic and limited paint tool program and you post it online right away for others to comment. It was actually my main entry into the digital art world. So dusting off one of my favorites of this witch with her pumpkins, I reinvisioned and worked on it as a digistamp. :)  

Hope everyone has a happy and fun Halloween!
