🎃 Today is the perfect day to draw a creature. A gremlin. A goblin. View this cryptid at your own risk, but beware, raccoon crimes are taking place.

(I'm so very fond of these little guys 🦝)

Digital Art A raccoon sloppily eating the top of a carved pumpkin while wearing the stem as a hat. The pumpkin has a distressed face on it and in the raccoon's paws he holds a piece of the gourd with a clear chunk missing from it in the shape of a raccoons mouth. If you were to ask him about it, he would post likely deny any involvement in this Halloween crime.

My brain couldn't think of the name for the very famous three horned dinosaur and went to "ancient rhinoceros" before finally settling on Trinoceros.

That's it's name now and I refuse to accept anything else

Graphite drawing on paper. 6.5 x 4 in On a ripped out page of a dictionary is a drawing of a fox. He is leaning against the wall next to a window, book in one hand and a cup in the other. Outside the window is a hilly landscape dotted with trees.

Sorry for not being very present or responsive on here this year. I’ve been finding it increasingly difficult to draw anything or stay focused on any of my projects, despite wanting to.

I’ll try to be better and more active 🦝

A little summer scene in progress.
📄✏️
The beginnings of a pencil drawing. The drawing is incomplete, but the outline of a raccoon can be seen reaching for something from a food stand while balancing on an unstable bucket. The paper is taped to stiff cardboard with blue painter's tape surrounding it. It sits on a wooden table.

🎇🎆Summer Nights and Raining Lights 🎆🎇

#FourthOfJuly #SmokeInMyEye #LittleRaccoonGuy
Digital art, from 4th of July 2022 A raccoon at a theme park looks up at fireworks exploding in the night sky above him. Sculpted trees and shrubs line the paths behind the decorative railings and lampposts. Rollercoasters, game booths, and a carousel fill the surrounding area. The raccoon also has a festive sparkly drink in his hand. It got him sick after drinking it with a big tummy ache (not pictured).

Wishing all my American buddies a Happy 4th of July today! Whether we're tied together by land or legislation, I like to think we all share a unique bond with one another.

So please be kind each other, to this land, and to all the critters you come across.

And give a raccoon a hot dog. 🌭🦝

I saw a throwback cereal with a happy elephant on the front and felt bad for him because he was on clearance and nobody was buying him.

I got you, Twinkles. I’ll eat your 1960’s cereal

🥧PI DAY FRIDAY!!📐

Today is the only day where if you smell a freshly baked pie, you'll float in the air like a cartoon.

This will also happen if you get too close and happen to smell your math homework.

Sniff safely my friends.

Yeah I drink tea labeled "Sleep" and then don't go to bed.

I'm the guy your mom warned you about. A bad boy. A rebel.

I've acquired one (1) new book, which means it's time to rearrange my entire bookshelf to find a way to make it fit.

This exact scenario has happened roughly 20 times and will happen again.

Then I scroll down and go oh no.

To those who are staying up late tonight, be mindful of your local nocturnal creatures. This is usually our safe-space and we're not used to so many people. Please forgive our social anxiety as we may be too shy to look you in the eye during conversations

All the same, please share your explosions💥

Rat's present
Graphite drawing on paper, 8x10 inches Expecting another standard delivery, a raccoon mailman opens a mailbox and -- to his surprise -- finds that a rat has made it into his cozy little home. The rat, dressed in a tiny waistcoat, reaches out with a smile and miniscule clawed hands to accept the delivery; a bundle of packages and wooden spool tied carefully together with a length of string and decorated with a bow. To the side, and through a frosted window built into the mailbox's address plate, two other rats can be seen inside telling stories and eating cheese together. The landscape is cold and snowy with bare trees lining the horizon. The mailbox is mounted on a wooden base with a stack of firewood, half buried in snow, resting on it. A rope ladder built with cut pencils leads down the side. Sticking out the top of the box, and emerging from a layer of snow, is a smoking furnace pipe, showing how the rats are staying warm in such a cold environment. The interior is neatly decorated, having such things as: draped garland, mouse themed wall hooks, a thimble flower pot, hanging herbs, framed pictures, and a rug bolted to the opening side of the box so it stays in place when it's upright and closed. Well done little rats. Lastly, our surprised postal worker is dressed in a black brimmed Pinecone Postal Service cap (with acorn pin on the side), a small black bowtie, and a long, striped scarf that's draped over his coat. A round patch on his shoulder has a design of a letter stylized to look like a fox and a tree with branches going up to an arc of four stars. You're dressed nice, but you really should have noticed the smoke coming out of the mailbox, Mr. Raccoon. Come on now.

🎄Christmas traditions, no matter how silly, are an important part of the season, bringing people together by making it fun and meaningful. So remember to leave milk and cookies out for Santa tonight!🎄

I've heard he likes them right outside the front door.
With a bowl of water nearby too please. 👀

Whenever I need to focus on an illustration, I always frequent the nearest coffee shop. The pleasant atmosphere and isolation do wonders for my concentration. ☕

Christmas drawing coming along slowly but steadily.
Graphite art in progress. Drawing on a café table; it's secured to a cardboard backing with a border of blue tape. Drawing is of a surprised mailman raccoon handing a small package to a rat coming out of a mailbox. Surrounding the picture (from left to right): a set of pencils, a biscuit, a reusable coffee cup with paw prints on it, a pencil bag, a kneaded eraser, and two smudgie sticks.

Pssst. 1, 2, or 3? 👀
Rough pencil thumbnail sketch. A fox in a little cap sits on the shoulders of a large bear has they try to place a star on the top of a Christmas tree. Lost in concentration, the fox doesn't realize that his elbow is bunching up the fur on the bears forehead, much to his amusement. Rough pencil thumbnail sketch. A raccoon mailman delivers the smallest of packages to a family of rats who have made their home inside of a mailbox. One of the rats reaches up to accept a bundle of neatly tied boxes while the others can be seen sitting and laughing together through a window on the side. The interior is quite nicely decorated. Well done little rats. Rough pencil thumbnail sketch. A fox proudly presents his friend with a small handmade ornament that is dressed just like him. The recipient, a bear, looks on is stunned amazement with stars in his eyes at the thoughtful gift, his two big paws covering the front of his face. The background has a pegboard with a scarf and mittins hanging.

If I had a nickel for every time a theme park employee was verbally surprised by how I'm small enough to fit into the shop's children sized clothing, I'd have two nickels.

Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
