It suffers greatly from a lack of variety in body type but is very imaginitive work.

I've seen the witches popping up around tumblr and they're cute as heck.

It's one of those things where if a woman were drawing a world without men, it would seem cool and empowering, but when a guy does the same thing, it seems vaguely creepy.

FYI - unless I'm missing something in an artist's statement about the series, there are definitely men and/or otherwise not apparently femme presenting people in some of the illustrations? I just took the subject matter as being groups of women, not a world without men...

Cute, a bit cheesecake but not as overwhelmingly devoted to the male gaze as it could be. I liked it, my partner thought the hurdlers with the dinosaur smashing through the hurdles was funny.

I love the dinosaurs playing sports with women images; the right combination of whimsy and yet serious intent.

This work is charming and I am charmed.
I like the T-Rex boxer in particular. You can do it, buddy!

The other day I thought I saw a woman wearing a witch's hat, but it was just a very tall toque with a pompom on the end. I was very excited until I realized my mistake. These are cute.
