This is not a complete list of available work. If you see something that isn't here feel free to ask.

I've dropped my prices as low as I can go here but I'm always willing to haggle.

Blessings

Still not great today but recovering. As my dad use to say, I'm upright and taking in nutrition.

For today's #ArtAdventCalendar a little sketch I did of the woodpeckers in our yard.

Blessings

Long and very unpleasant day of medical stuff, so here I am late again to the #ArtAdventCalendar

Ravens are one of my favorite subjects. They are delightful and engaging birds.

So much going on today I almost forgot today's #ArtAdventCalendar

This is a watercolor of our backyard when we lived in Las Vegas New Mexico

A watercolor painting of a nightscape. The back corner of an adobe house with a pitched roof and a little bit of grass in the foreground. A wooden fence runs from left to right and there is a large tree in the other side of the fence. You can just see the top of a white roof behind the tree and a large pinion tree behind that. The sky is deep blue fading into pink near the horizon where the setting sun on the opposite horizon has lit some hazy clouds. The moon shines through on the left just above the top of the tree

Archie Bunker always triggered me. My family always talked to me the way Archie talked to Reiner's character.

It's wild to like a character and then find out the person who plays them is really that nice.

Rip Rob Reiner. 🙏❤️🙏

"Evangelic"
2021

#artsky #drawing #surrealism #lowbrowsurrealism
A drawing in ink and colored pencils of a creepy looking guy with the lesters "WTF" around his head in a white suit with white hair holding a fire hose that is squirting one little drop while he uses his finger to stir the brain of a smaller male figure next to him. They are standing in front of a burning landscape that leads back to distant mountains. There is a gigantic thunderhead coming over the mountain shaped like a penis.

A lot of terrible things in the world going on everyday so it's good to post the good things sometimes. Humanity is not lost so we should all try to spread it as much as we can.

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

They say that mafia members are cruel and nasty people, but...

......while growing up, I lived next door to one, and he was actually a really nice guy.

In fact, every morning, he paid me $20 just to start his car.

Every now and again I'll see some idiot say some shit like "well yeah. AI and its impacts on [numerous things] might be bad, but im not personally responsible for that, and my one generation doesn't do much"

Newsflash, dipshit, you perpetuating its use absolutely makes you responsible.

Went out on the porch to get a package and ended up face to face with one of the opossum that live here. She was very polite aside from a little hissing when I picked her up but I've had to randomly relocate opossums every couple weeks so they are used to me.
