"Oh, Somewhere Deep Inside Of These Bones An Emptiness Began To Grow There's Something Out There, Far

last month, my dad passed suddenly. some of my favorite memories with him were watching christmas movies together-- it's a wonderful life would make him cry every single time, and i loved him for that. i miss you dad.

Ta-da! Here is the Christmas card design I made for this year (if you are a close friend or family member, then you've seen this design already 👀👏)! I enjoy hand-making a new design for my cards every year. I have this available as a downloadable card and a print if you'd like it for your own! Just follow the link in my bio, or go to jazzleeillustrates.etsy.com! God bless!

Self indulgent shippy trash yaaaay~

His long floppy ears 😭💖

The cuties. I love them🩵😸

I love it when there's a guy who lost their name. forgot it, discarded it, don't use it, can't use it, had it stolen, even just when a title is used to avoid saying it. all good stuff

Me, drawing Sonic fanart in 2024? It's more likely than you'd think! I used to draw quite a lot of Sonic fanart back in the day... way back in the day! I have recently been hit with a resurgence of Shadow love. A character whose main themes are grief, loss and redemption? Of course I love him!

I like him, he's my friend :)

WELCOME TO MY BLOG! (master post)

Hello, I wanted to write a new introduction to my Tumblr blog! To start off -- hi, my name is Jazz! I am a Christian artist and illustrator. I occasionally design and market art products (like stickers and keychains), and really love writing and making comics!

Art Tag: #jazzleeillustrates (use this to filter out everything that isn't art!)

~ * ~ * ~ * ~

I have an online store, where I sell products like stickers, pins and keychains!

I also have a Discord server that is geared towards Christian artists and creatives! Everyone is welcome here, and it is a fun, wholesome community for sharing your talents!

COMMISSIONS: Open! (Check out my examples here! If you don't see what you have in mind, please contact me at jazzleeillustrates@gmail.com!)

ART TRADES: Open for mutuals! (If we have interacted before and are mutuals, feel free to hit me up for an art trade! I love to do them!)

Current Project(s):

Slices of Gremlin (tagged #slicesofgremlin) - a weekly web comic that is based on reality. The main character is my persona -- the gremlin! She is a little purple gal who is a bit mischievous and likes to have fun. My friends/family members often show up as other fantasy creatures. Usually the comics are light-hearted and funny or wholesome, but sometimes they occasionally delve into some deeper topics!

Upcoming Project(s):

Wellwishers (tagged #wellwisherscomic) - I plan to release this project as a comic! Right now, I am doing heavy development work, and I hope to begin releasing it (hopefully) before the year is over! This comic focuses on Vincent Abernathy and Witherspoon (of the clan Everblood) -- it is the misadventures of two best buddies, and it features redemption, broken families, and magical disasters that may or may not threaten the world as everyone knows it. Set in the 90's/very early 2000's, or the equivalent of it in their world (it is not Earth). The cast of characters is quite large, so I am slowly beginning to introduce them to the world! This project has been in the works since 2015.

...And more future projects that are in development!

Other Blogs:

Chaotic-Kindness - I have a blog for My Little Pony reblogs and content! Check it out here!

Here is a sketch dump, with church notes and various things I've taped on the pages mixed in. 👀 The last page is me trying to figure out Plankton's human design from SpongeBob the Musical. Which doodle is your favorite?

This is one of my favorite recent pieces that Tumblr hasn't seen yet, so I thought that I'd upload it here, too! A little interpretation of a humanized Fluttershy and Discord, because I am soft for them. ☺
