Watch me ink, then paint in watercolour, this artwork for some home-made Xmas Cards. If I finish all these there are more to sketch.
Two rough sketches: one is a stylized scene of two polar bears in a forest setting (yeah, I know WRONG HABITAT so sue me my mum likes bears) and the other a cat in Xmas gear.

I love Transformers. I cannot draw Transformers. Thus I relied HEAVILY (O so very very heavily) on a reference photo for this. Watch me colour it for practice and kicks.

Dear Mr. @realgdt.bsky.social ,

I absolutely loved your Frankenstein. It's exactly what I needed in these trying times. It's my favorite movie of all time now.

Please keep up the great work, you're a true inspiration.

O Sweet F*ck, let this be true:

Ford is apparently walking back on his attack on month-to-month renting.

The Ford government says it won’t be moving forward with consultations to modify the law that protects tenants’ right to remain in their unit.

The lady behind me at my last convention said this was a "human deer". I don't know if I disagree with that.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

I just love @gailsimone.bsky.social presence on Blue Sky. She's informative, engaging and a little bit of a troll.

I did a cozy homage to her in some fanfiction involving a Sherlockian Spoiler and Black Canary.

Owl.

- 8x10, ink, coloured pencils, acrylic ink, inktense pencil, on tan stock.
A drawing of a stylized owl, who looks like he'd rather you NOT hang about. There are fall leaves, pumpkins, a dying picket fence and some spooky trees in the moonlit background.
