Moving to Ontario so we came up and got our visas in hand and looked for a place to rent. One of the coolest things I overheard was “we aren’t a melting pot, we are a mosaic”. As a POC, this is wildly different compared to where I’m from. I have hope now for my daughter. I wanna stay now. 🇨🇦🍁

Hmmm, well now I want to make a 90s themed wimmelbild with these little anthropomorphic animal cyborgs running around. Feeling nostalgic about X-Men, Starfox and Richard Scarry’s Busytown all at once.

Meet Raddwulf the Ex-Wolf, the little doodle that triggered this idea:

Tricky gnomish guides led these dwarves into some trouble…

Shading is the most fun step and it goes way too fast 🖌️💨

Just the first step of my biggest wimmelbild. Time for some ink washes and finally watercolor!

“As a snail knight, I can slowly charge into battle with all the look and intent of doing something courageous but arrive far too late to actually do something. Either way I leave with my honor intact.”

Yesterday my wife described me as being “counterculture”.

This is the single greatest compliment I’ve ever received, considering the culture. 😎 🤟🏾 🏴‍☠️

Just more chaos…

Every time I start one of these wimmelbilder projects I think, “why-why have I done this to myself?”

I’m learning to just enjoy the process and not worry about the timeline but I still get anxious waiting for the painting step which ironically is my favorite part.

“Chariot to the Sun”

The tyrant demanded to be worshipped as the Sun but the people asked why the tyrant wasn’t seated on his true throne.

The tyrant demanded to be taken to his throne.

So, the people prayed to clouds to carry the false deity to the Sun where he perished…

“No Honor Among Thieves”

The raid of the castle would be simple; each clan agreed to take their “fair” share.

However once inside, sharp blades cut through the flimsy guise of cooperation and chaos destroyed the castle, the treasure, and the thieves.

“The Greed Engine”

Sapping the very life-force out of the planet and its inhabitants, the Greed Engine’s thirst for power is never sated. The Greed Engine lives at the bottom of every beings’ soul and by giving into indolence and ignorance we empower it.

“District of Corruption”

I was born in D.C. and lived and worked in the D.C. area for a longtime before I moved away in 2016 and ended my gov contractor days. I have former colleagues and friends affected by Elon and DOGE who have had to make life altering decisions.
