He’s floppy and likes to be held like a baby. The fluffy tummy is not a trap.
A solidly-built fluffy black cat sits in the center of a grey cattasaurus donut with his front feet draped over the side. He is looking towards the camera. There is a radiator behind him, a few leaves above, and a wood floor below.

So I have this rosy maple moth plush and yesterday I decided to paint her. Gouache on mystery paper I inherited. #gouache #carandachegouache
A gouache painting of a plush toy rosy maple moth. The moth has a big round body, yellow with pink face and wings, with yellow antennae like bunny ears and little rounded pink feet. She is on a colored background, purple underneath shading to red and then orange above her.

For today’s art I decided to try another shoe, my new TMA Eyes boots. I did these in ink, J. Herbin 167, Émeraude de Chivor, and a lovely gouache set I got as a birthday gift. The ink isn’t waterproof, so it changed some of what I was doing. #inkallyear #watercolor #gouache
A green boot by TMA Eyes folded over about halfway up. Behind the boot is an upper background in yellow, lower in blue, both covered in orange polka dots.

Yesterday’s art is a very basic watercolor with my little Derwent travel set, which I keep in my bag so I can watercolor any time I like. In practice this mostly means I don’t have to borrow watercolors from my wife if I stay at her house. #watercolor
Watercolor painting of two purple tulips above a large red and yellow flower with a big green leaf in a clear vase.

Yesterday’s art is a portrait of a friend. I wasn’t able to make the life drawing event they posed for, but my wife took photos. Local drag performer CK in pen and marker. #marker #crayolamarker #supportlocaldrag
A person with a round face, blue eye and lip makeup, thin lines of blue mustache and beard, and blue wavy wig - darker at the top and shading to light at the bottom. There’s some smearing of the pen above the eye on the left side as you look at the image.

It’s November so inktober is over and I’m back to messing around with whatever. Pen and crayon in a sketchbook.
A pen and crayon drawing of a squat and rounded toy unicorn, think gummy bear proportions. She is yellow with a blue mane, laying on her side and casting a shadow from an overhead light.

Yesterday’s watercolor is predictably the shoe from an angle I have not previously explored. Watercolor and pen on mysterious paper I probably inherited. #watercolor
A red high heel seen from the top. The shoe is outlined in rings of blue and purple.

Inktober day 31. This is obviously a paper piece, but I hand-painted the yellow and green tissue paper with ink so it counts. This is the card I made to thank our officiant, since G and I got married yesterday. Origami paper, scrapbooking paper and hand-painted tissue paper. #inktober #inktober2025
A flower made of blue, green, and purple origami paper with red pistils and a long green stem with leaves. The flower is in a halo of yellow, and the whole thing is on a light green background.

Inktober day 30: shoe with extra curve. J. Herbin watercolor ink in l’eclat de sapphire. #inktober #inktober2025
A high heeled shoe from behind and a little to the side in shades of blue. The lines are curvier than an actual shoe.

Inktober 29: not the shoe! I got my little unicorn out again, she’s awesome. Daler-Rowney acrylic ink in volcano red. #inktober #inktober2025
A little unicorn toy on its side. The unicorn is a very rounded teddy bear shaped unicorn done in shades of pale red.

Inktober day 28, all shoe all the time. I love this ink, I can almost taste the grape flavor. J. Herbin watercolor ink in poussière de lune on toned paper. #Inktober #inktober2025

Inktober day 27. I was messing around here. Shoe in Daler-Rowney acrylic ink in sap green, one of my favorites. Kakimori steel nib and brush on toned paper. That kakimori nib has been a solid purchase, recommended if you like dip pens. #inktober #inktober2025
A high heeled shoe seen from the side in shades of green.

Inktober day 26, I decided to try that angle again since I had trouble with it the first time, I figure because I was just looking at it and I keep moving my head. Daler-Rowney acrylic ink in velvet violet, kakimori steel nib and paintbrush on toned paper. #inktober #inktober2025

Inktober day 25, finally starting to relax a little. The shoe in Daler-Rowney acrylic ink, I don’t remember the color name, applied with a brush and my trusty kakimori steel nib, on toned paper. #Inktober #inktober2025
A high heeled shoe on its side in shades of pale blue, casting a shadow beneath it.

Inktober day 24, today I went wild and used two inks! I wanted to see how I’d do at reproducing the colors with just two inks, and I didn’t mix them, at least not deliberately. Shoe in J. Herbin watercolor ink in lie de thé and Marabu Graphix Aqua Ink in crimson. #inktober #inktober2025
A red high heeled shoe with brown sole and inside lays on its side, casting a shadow. The toe is closest to the viewer.

Inktober day 23, still with the shoe. I was at G’s and had to do something from a photo I had, and I just happened to have some pictures of this shoe. Sennelier pre-filled ink brush pens and a Uniball Vision Elite on hot press watercolor paper. #inktober #inktober2025
A high heeled shoe in red ink with black outlines, seen from the side.

Inktober day 22, shoe shoe shoe. This ink is wonderfully bright and weirdly here that means the darkest spots on the shoe aren’t the darkest spots in the picture. Daler-Rowney acrylic ink in emerald green on toned paper. #inktober #inktober2025
A high heeled shoe seen from the side in shades of green ink on toned paper.

Inktober day 21, and back to my favorite, the shoe! Marabu Graphix Aqua Ink in carmine, this is a watercolor ink. I was drawing this thinking it was the 22nd and I’d somehow lost a day but thankfully I was wrong. #Inktober #inktober2025
A high heeled shoe from behind and at an angle so the heel and toe are visible but the middle of the shoe is hidden by the angle. Everything is in shades of red.

Inktober day 19. I was going to draw the shoe again but as I was selecting ink I saw my iron and thought that would be cool to draw so I did. #inktober #inktober2025
A line drawing of an iron standing on its end, in aqua colored ink.

Inktober day nineteen, all shoe all the time. Even G is like “how are you still drawing that shoe? It’s not that interesting” but she’s wrong, okay? So wrong. Dr. P.H. Martin’s Bombay ink in blue on what I think is hot press paper, I inherited this little book so who knows. #inktober #inktober2025
A high heel in shades of blue from a 45 degree angle so the heel is closest to the viewer.

No inktober for the 17th, I was very busy having a migraine and wasn’t up for it. Today’s inktober is a watercolor of the shoe with this little set of glittery watercolors that G picked me up from Temu. It’s my inktober and I’ll watercolor if I want. #inktober #inktober2025
Watercolor painting of a red high heeled shoe in shimmery colors.

Inktober day sixteen, actually posted the same day! Try not to faint, sometimes I manage great feats like this. I went back to the little toy unicorn and made one of the messiest pieces I’ve done this inktober, which is fine. J. Herbin watercolor ink in diablo menthe. #inktober #inktober2025
An ink drawing of a squat, rounded toy unicorn in shades of blue-green.

Inktober day 14 and I decided to paint this little unicorn toy I have. The actual toy is orange and navy but I used Daler-Rowney acrylic ink in Sun Up Blue, appropriately for a unicorn it’s glittery. #inktober #inktober2025
A small rounded unicorn toy, transforming the figure Brunetti style, with a cylinder body, round head, and little round legs coming off it rather than being a more realistic representation. The figure is in shades of glittery light blue.
