There is a monument to that moment in Iraq
A seven foot long bronze shoe with a small tree growing in it is on a pedestal and surrounded by Iraqi people, some of whom are laughing. A particularly jovial woman is giving a thumbs up. The meaning of the gesture is ambiguous, as it means approval in some cultures and "up yours" in others.

Him when charges are brought against him:
Matt Groening's Life in Hell comic. This one panel comic depicts Bongo, a one-eared bunny child, standing over the shattered remains of a plate on the floor of an otherwise pristine kitchen. The threatening silhouette of an adult bunny looms over him. Bongo says, "I swear to God I didn't do it," even though he clearly did it.

I did the cover of Westword for this week!
The cover of Westword, a weekly magazine in Colorado. This is the cover for Feb 13-19. The image is a cartoony illustration of a person seen from behind with many arms encircling it in a hug. The subhead is "Need a Hug?" and the description says, "Denver has professional cuddlers and they are here to help. By Jason Heller". There are a number of hearts included in the picture as decorations on clothes, to highlight the fact that it is Valentines this week. The background is shades of pink and red for the same reason.

Feeling blah, so I'm making more collages.
A collage of low resolution trees and leaves frame a low resolution cut out of a squirrel eating a nut. All of the colors are saturated and not at all realistic, the squirrel being vibrant magenta. For reference, squirrels are usually brown or grey and blend in with brown and grey surroundings.

The colors are not accurate, but the squirrel is at least yellowish, which is closer to a realistic color.

Doing some collage tonight
A colorful digital collage of flowers in a vase. A beetle is climbing the vase and there is a butterfly and some other winged insect flying around the flowers. A colorful digital collage of flowers in a vase.

I swiped these pencils from Pinterest. (Not sure who they are by but the signature looks like it says Dan Jim 10.) My inks and colors.

Tight pencil illustration found online. Dan Jim maybe? It depicts Galactus reaching for Silver Surfer with a backdrop of planets and space. Inked version of the previous pencils. I added a bunch of Kirby dots and gave the ink the texture of an old kind of worn comic page. It depicts Galactus reaching for Silver Surfer with a backdrop of planets and space. The previous inked image, but this time colored. Galactus is magenta and blue reaching for a silvery Silver Surfer. Behind them is a mix of planets, explosions, gas clouds, and floating rocks all in bright oranges and yellows against the deep blue of space.

Borrowed a Horikoshiko pencil and inked and colored it.

A full-color manga illustration depicts a woman with green hair kneeling. She is wearing a red, white, and green ski bunny outfit with white fur trim, ski boots, and a santa hat. She is making a two and a one gesture with her hands, referring to the original date that the image was drawn by Horikoshiko. Behind her is a disgruntled green-haired man wearing a set of antlers strapped to his head. He is wearing a brown fur-trimmed ski outfit with wooly pants. Next to him is a tiny bare-chested man creature, inexplicably wearing a Christmas tree on its head. The tree has red and green ornaments and a star on top. On the ground in front of it is what looks like the cooked carcass of some kind of turkey parrot, not a bird that exists in reality. There are several characters written that I assume to be a mix of Japanese kanji, hiragana, and katakana. The numbers read twenty-four, and eleven twenty-two, a reference to the day I inked and colored the image. A pencilled manga illustration depicts a woman kneeling.

Some inking practice. I found various other artists' pencil work online, and inked it. I wish inking was still a viable career.

A woman in western-inspired garb including cowboy boots and cowboy hat, along with a very superhero inspired scarf blowing in the wind like a cape. She is standing dramatically on a high girder above a town square. The image is black and white line art on paper that appears old and mildewed because I think that makes it looks cool and vintage. Loose ink linework of a Jack Kirby page. It features an angry woman, probably Frigga gesturing angrily over a cowering and sort of feral looking Loki. A man is in the background holding a little Galactus doll. I have no idea who he is because we have nearly reached the limits of my Scandinavian folklore knowledge. Incomplete but very precise linework of a Catwoman comic. The page is split artfully into six asymmetrical panels depicting Catwoman running from a supine Superman, entering the sewer, and then apparently being attacked by some kind of sound. The final two panels are blank, but take my word for it that I did a really good job on the ones I finished. Again: my ink, someone elses pencils. A very dramatic scene rendered in inked lines. A somewhat cartoonish girl cowers in the back of an old nineties or early two thousands SUV. The vehicle is surrounded by attacking zombies, some of which are reaching through the sun roof and the windows. In the back seat, a person is shooting a zombie through a broken window of the car using a shotgun. In the front seat, someone is shooting a zombie through the open sun roof using a revolver. Zombies are reaching for the girl and nearly have her in their grasp. Outside the window is chaos as zombies in various costumes stumble through the street. And on top of the car for some reason are two interested cats.

Vintage image of a two-spirit person wearing a mix of garments considered to represent both the masculine and feminine. They are wearing a long beaded necklace with a large pendant in the style of their tribe. The caption on the photo (added recently) reads, "Transphobia is colonial as fuck." It is posted here on Trans Day of Remembrance to honor trans people.

If you see this, post your bird art
A wild turkey rises gloriously from a patch of pumpkins like a Thanksgiving phoenix, its fiery wings outstretched. This is a black and white pen and ink drawing.
