Hookup from the Black Lagoon! 🎣💚 Happy Halloween, my lil' fish sticks. This one will be available as a print on my shop soon. (I'm currently kicking a really nasty cold, so...next week, likely.)

“Feathers grow a little different on some crows.” The Crow Time crow stands on a log and looks down at a smaller rounder crow with rainbow chest feathers perched on a branch. The smaller crow’s eyes sparkle in trans colors.

“And if anyone has a problem with that…” the Crow Time Crow menaces, posing with a red handled kitchen knife in their beak. The little crow is still perched on the stick, but now cheekily brandishes a small dagger with progress pride color facets on the handle.

1)You may remember the articles criticizing liberal students for their hesitancy to make friends with conservative students—alleging that they were less open-minded than their conservative counterparts.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 10h

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is sitting at his hobby desk with paint jars, paper, unpainted miniatures and other painting paraphernalia set around himself.
Blue: I'm going to paint some miniatures.
Green, unseen in the background: Okay!

Picking up a miniature, Blue goes deep into focus, gently brushing the figurine with a paint brush, making a soft, quiet little "shup" sound every time.

Looking up from his work, Blue turns to listen as Green interrupts his work to say something.
Green: I like the little sound that your brush makes when you paint.

Blue lowers the miniature, looking at it with a frown.
Blue: Well now I'm too self-conscious about that to finish this.
Green: Aw.

Here is the full illustration! This wraps around the Feral Flame dust jackets. Incredible work by @caraid.bsky.social.

Also, how come so many people haven’t noticed the wolf in the painting?

#NossSaga #BookSky

A one-horned buffalo holds her hands forward to control a green flame shaped like a running wolf. Her brown fur is draped with long white fabrics that flow in the wind and blend into the pink mist behind her. Her horn is decorated with golden caps and rings, her nose and ears pierced. Her green eyes stare directly at the viewer. Around her are terraced hot springs and erupting geysers, creating placid pools in which five bovid figures are bathing. A white-capped volcano looms in the distance.

The awesome @joabaldwin.com commissioned me to draw his characters Banook and Sterjall from the #NossSaga! This painting taught me a lot, and what a joy Joaquín is to work with ☺️ Thank you a million times!!🌻

Illustration created for the book series called The Noss Saga. Pictured are a bear with golden fur, cradling a dark anthropomorphic wolf on his lap. It is nighttime and they are outside, sitting in front of a campfire. They look happy and relaxed.

Rolex subreddit post:

My uncle has Alzheimer's and is often forgetful of his possessions. One of them is a Rolex Submariner. Would I be justified in taking and caring for it as my own instead of having it left neglected and forgotten in his jewelry box? Thanks.
