[ uh · kyoot · uh · lips ] · noun · the revelation (or) prophecy and universal widespread of all things cute and creepy
Where spooky gets soft and cute takes over.
Paintings, drawings and stitched-up creatures, and now my art on stickers, bookmarks and lanyards too. A little cute, a little creepy, and its own strange, soft thing.
this month in the coven
Welcome, ghouls, creeps & goblins.
This is where the weird, sweet, spooky little ideas in my head turn into things you can actually hold. Here’s what I’m working on right now. Happy haunting, Raven
Got an idea haunting you?
Custom work isn’t open for regular orders, but if you have a drawing, an SVG design, or something sewn or crocheted in mind, reach out and we can talk it through.

Some of my acrylic paintings are up in the portfolio: a koala riding glowing tentacles, melting mountains and plenty of drippy color.

Spooky Season
A grinning jack-o’-lantern on an old stump, vines curling off the top, next to some very drippy lettering. October, in one little scene.

Home Sweet Haunt
A little purple house under a big full moon, pumpkins on the step and a couple of ghosts drifting by. Somebody’s always home, and they’ll happily hold your place.

Meowduction
Somebody left the tractor beam on. A three-eyed alien kitty is at the controls, and one very surprised cow is on the way up. Nobody asked the cow.

How did I get here again?
Somebody left the light on, and this patched-up bunny has no idea how they wandered in. Again. One flickering green bulb, one crack in the wall, one very confused little one. A bit lumpy, a lot loved, and ready to come haunt your favorite book.
Five die-cut stickers
Meowduction, Sugar Skull Kitty, Boo Meow, a glowing Ghost Kitty and a cat-shaped hole in my heart.

There are a few hand-stitched catnip coffins left. Only a handful, so once they’re gone, they’re gone.

First up: a tiny coffin for dog-walk bags, with a cobweb, bat or paw print window. Spring arms inside keep the roll snug.

Mini trellises for little climbers, tombstone plant markers with a spot for the name, and Rim Lurkers that hang on the rim of the pot.

Word from the coven
From the catnip toy days to a whole illustrated world.
“My kitties loved the toy. Will buy again for sure!”
Melissacatnip toy customer
“This bone is mine now. I hug it, I bonk it, I nap on it, and I will haunt anyone who tries to take it.”
Gohanchief bone tester
(translated from meow)“Acutealypse illustrated the entire Friends Ahoy world: the main island, the boats and all ten Crew Role badges. She understood the direction right away, and every file arrived clean and ready for the web. The artwork is a big reason the site feels personal rather than corporate.”
Eric, founder of Friends Ahoy and design consultant for Acutealypse see the Friends Ahoy art →the cat test lab
real cats, real catnip, very serious research
Cats have been putting Acutealypse toys to the test since the beginning. The toy workshop is taking a catnap, but a few catnip coffins turned up in the crypt, and they’ll be in the shop when it opens.
