Gets dark early this time of year, so I bought Rocket a light up collar.
But you see, he’s very floofy.

This is an insane thing to do but I'm getting desperate:
My husband is an extremely skilled tier 3 tech support worker with a bachelor's of economics, familiarity with a wide variety of technical systems, and a long employment history in aerospace.
He's been out of work for seven months now.

Today's #ArtAdventCalendar is my Pyrrhuloxia watercolor, from my experimentation with different watercolor papers. With this piece, I found out that painting of the "wrong" side of cold press paper works better for me!

These guys are great! I donate every year and may I suggest that some of the crafts they sell on behalf of the elders make great Christmas presents?
Time once again to rep my favorite place for giving: anelder.org - they supply food, firewood and supplies for traditional crafting to Navajo Elders. If you have the cash, please give these folks a hand.

It's time for everyone's favorite chronologically unanchored holiday, The Story of the Lizard in the Leg.
Because people keep asking, the Story of The Lizard In That Dude's Leg. Some caveats:
1. This happened more than twenty years ago. There are no pictures. There was a small article in a local paper with, again, no pictures (I'm assuming that's what the producers of 9-1-1: LONE STAR found).

Posted this before, but in my not so humble opinion you can never have too much Mongolian heavy metal throat singing.... The Hu, Wolf Totem. Side note they also do cooking videos "Hu's In The Kitchen".

Throw back to this giant wolverine plushie I made back in April. I will try to get another one of these made soon, but I want to tweak the pattern a bit more.
He weighed almost 20 pounds & had beanies in his paws for extra weight.
