BEERS, BEARS & BEARDS
When his lifelong companion and love is dragged into the mountain's deadly depths during a mining disaster, a dwarf must descend into darkness to rescue him so their beards may finally be braided together.

From a backburnered May-December literary #MMRomance, "Still Waters." (Not a literal bear.)
"An older ginger bear living alone in a house full of antiques and art sounded like a man Ken definitely wanted to get to know better.
Much better."

Welcome to a new week of #WIPSnips
The words for September 29th is "bear"
(While inspired by Fat Bear Week, as always, synonyms, variations and ✨vibes✨ are fine, so it doesn't have to be a literal bear.)

It’s so bizarre that the person who shot up the ICE facility was some edgy 4chan classical Ron Paul libertarian with a fixation of video games and somehow, the FBI is still considering him a “leftist”.

All my Midwest mind can think is, "What do they do when it rains?"
So, leaving a concert in Denver on Sunday night, my friend and I are walking back to our car when we stumble on this absolute masterpiece.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is a purple El Camino with a ball pit in the back.

I once told my brother (who said I was 'insensitive' to expect others 'acting on their principles' not to oppose my marriage rights) that we are literally fighting for our lives.
This is what I mean.

An Arizona man is facing felony charges for threatening to shoot up a gay bar to avenge Charlie Kirk. He was convinced the shooter had "transgender ideology." Fortunately, he was stopped, but this is on the media for running with the erroneous WSJ reporting. www.azfamily.com/2025/09/19/p...

A post to illustrate the premise that skills in art don't develop simultaneously. And also a little story about my art journey that might be inspiring for some.
These are my pre-covid attempts at digital art.
By that time I was quite decent with watercolour by digital art was a terra incognita

So ... I've been away a few days.
Work has been using up all my spoons lately. This is my busiest time of year by a long shot.
Hoping things will smooth out over the next couple of weeks and I'll be back to posting regularly.
