Fialka Cote

Pronounced fee-al-kuh or Feeby for short. I’m a former anime convention artist and retired special needs kitty rescuer.These days I spend my time painting things a little closer to the heart, taking pictures of cool bugs and lighting up the dark places with little paper boats

Blog

Occasionally I throw a random mix of my wild ramblings into the void of the internet. There you can find my art process, creative writing, nature adventures, what life is like with FND, so many cats and maybe a bit of magic.

Encourage

Like what I do and want to help me keep doing it? Please consider making a donation on KoFi (no account needed) or subscribing to one of my blogs paid plans.Everything I post is free to be enjoyed by all and you won’t get any extra content but you’ll keep the cats from eating me.

Likewise, sharing my stuff with a friend is free and goes a lot further than you think. Every bit is appreciated.

Coming Soon!

Portfolio - in progress.
Store - a little ways away yet.
Commissions - nope.Why are all these photos of Ozzy when I have so many other cats? Because the rest of them let me work in relative peace!

Store

This is where I’ll list the things I’m selling. Maybe a few photos and urge people to use my Ko-Fi.
Prints by Artelo. Patterns, paint by number.

Portfolios

I like to try a little bit of everything so my portfolio has been broken down into sections.

Neko Creations

Before I was PBI, I was Neko Creations, pen name Feeby Neko. I traveled around the anime convention circuit and sold my art on a variety of items.My business that I started from the ground up and recently retired to make room for a gentler journey.

Back at home I worked on my website (now retired as I start this new journey) and selling more customized and in demand items.

Educational & Promotional Design

I have specialized in product design, realizing early on that most people find it much easier to justify buying art when it comes in a functional form that contributes to their lives. This lead me to the world of clothing design and into eventually buying a laser. For a time I traveled and sold at anime conventions as well as local markets. I’ve even done some design work for larger companies.

Foxy & Wolfy Comics Colorist

For a very short but precious while I worked as a colorist and product designer for Foxy & Wolfy Comics, a manga about magical girls and disabilities. Unfortunately the creator, Kitsune Windsor, passed away before the series could be completed.

Portfolio

My portfolio is under construction as a few years ago I developed a neurological disorder and in that journey my art style and way of working has shifted greatly. Instead of several small projects for others I now work on many large, slower projects for myself. I’m in the process of creating a new body of work.

Works In Progress

While my portfolio is under construction here are some of my current brain babies in progress that I’ve shared in other places online.Some of these have taken years, waiting for my skill to catch up with my vision and others were a marathon of hours and I’m just waiting to catch the energy again.These works are constantly updating and I have 100s more in progress but these ones are my current loves.All are my intellectual property and I ask that they not be shared unless they link directly back to this page with my name.
