Box score from last nights game against the Nets. Other than Rollins, who organized bench units and started, no one went above ~ 25mins.

Some how Gary Harris with no points felt way more impactful than GTJ with 5 points. Garris just keeps making winning plays and not screwing up. I’ll take that.
This is the box score from last nights bucks vs nets game. There are too many numbers to type out. The most important thing to know is Gary Trent Jr is still looking questionable.

Bucks back? Bucks back!

Our starting lineup is finally healthy and we broke that losing streak.

Ryan Rollins has so much more room to grow. I know he’s had a few tough games but he’s barely played in the NBA and he’s already shown 3 level scoring, plus defense, clutch shooting, and the ability to facilitate. He GOOD.

A handmade chart comparing games played, games started, minutes played, years of experience and the age of various young talents around the league. Rollins has played significantly less games and minutes than his peers.

My neighborhood has a minor league football club and they have gear that embodies that spirit.

Ready for another career night. Let’s go Bucks! 🦌

“This Crocodile Rocks”

Watercolor with colored pencils and gel pens. Done for an art prompt of ‘crocodile’ on discord. I just couldn’t get Elton John out of my head.
An image of a watercolor illustration on a desk with a pen and colored pencils surrounding it. The illustration is of a pale green crocodile, cartoonish and geometric in shape, playing at a piano under a spotlight. The crocodile is wearing large white sunglasses with pink glass and a blue bow tie with pink and yellow dots. There are some notes in the upper right of the image leaving the margins of the rest of the illustration. I just couldn’t get crocodile rock out of my head so I sort of drew it.

Won’t click on it or directly repost it because this hack doesn’t deserve it, but I do need to get my shots off as well.

Fuck you buddy. Why do you hate Milwaukee so damn much. Nonstop hater and most of the time you realize he’s watched like 3 handpicked games and not much else. Bitch, derogatory.
A Michael Pina article where he is once again a huge cunt. What a hating ass windbag. He calls Milwaukee a charcuterie of shit, what a pretentious ass hat.

Landscape from my watercolor class last night. Still needs another sit down to add in some details, shading, and highlights. Colors layered in very nicely so far.

Good morning ☀️

Working on an idea for an art prompt, crocodile, and all my brain would do is this again and again. So here’s a sloppy sketch of my brainstorming.

It’s pouring out but my dog doesn’t care. She begs to go out and then just sits there staring at the rain. This is my entertainment as I start making lunches for the kids.

“Game Day”

Even when I’m just messing around with a French curve and some circle stencils, I have basketball on the brain. I was just making curves and stumbled onto an idea. This was painted with watercolor and lined with gel pens.

Also it’s game day! Go Bucks, defend the cup!!!
Artwork done with watercolors and gel pens on a post card. Pictured on a gray desk mat with a French curve and stencil for shapes plus a gel pens. The artwork had beams of light and dark pink’s alternating with yellows in the background. Various shapes are or lines are drawn into these backgrounds to make patterns. The foreground shows waves, a green flag rising from the waves and basketball in motion. The flag has antlers and MKE on it.

Kuma passed out behind me as I sketch.
It’s my dog Kuma asleep on carpet. She’s a tri-color mutt that most looks like a German shepherd mixed with a border collie.

Rollins had a real Giannis kind of night. Feel like that assists number got shorted by his teammates who didn’t bring it.

Rylo is really good, but not
carry the whole damn team good. Yet?

Go Bucks!

I just bought a Rollins jersey so I kind of like tonight’s lineup. Let’s see if he can shine again with Giannis out.
This shit is so dumb. It says Rylo Ken. It’s a dump photoshop of Ryan Rollins onto Kyle Ren from Star Wars
