He got out of bed and had something to eat. Then Toad crossed out: Eat Breakfast.

Toad sits at his breakfast table, studying his to-do list.

Chickens in the Garden - a little bit of a harvest theme for this month’s riso print

I grew up having chickens and if I ever end up having a yard again I will most certainly have more. Wherever this is, I want to live there

It is time to paint witches!! 🔮🌙

watercolor and ink painting- a witch stands facing the viewer. She is wearing an outfit based on traditional Scandinavian dress, save the witch hat of course. She holds a staff in her hands that has a sleeping moon on it and a long red banner. She stands, a vignette, in front of an archway made of entangled trees.

Daily bunny no.3111 baking another batch

A bunny puts a batch of cookies in the oven, one of many batches. The cookies, despite resembling gingerbread cookies, are cut in halloween shapes like ghosts and pumpkins. There is a plate of already-baked cookies on the counter, and two black cats peer at them eagerly.

Day 11: COZY 🛋️

#SuperBatober #Inktober #inktober2025

SUPERBATOBER 11: COZY -- Ah! A nice and lazy, rainy weekend. Good for hanging out on a couch, a purring cat to your right, a cup of tea to your left, and a good book resting in your blanket wrapped lap. That's how Batgirl is spending it! I wonder if Supergirl, half on the floor completely passed out, minds that her friend is taking up half the couch to do so. Judging by her snoring, probably not.
