I draw monsters, fantasy stuff and cartoons compulsively and share them here fairly regularly. IDK if these are my best pieces, but they seem to be pretty popular. I also seem to be fascinated by pumpkin-headed dudes.
Check out this huge boss orange Dalek my son made for me for me for Christmas!

When Nyunmiti Burtom & other female Australian Indigenous artists heard of the Christchurch Mosque attack, 2019, they showed solidarity by creating a canvas for NZ Muslim community depicting people separated by sea, culture, but united in humanity #WomensArt

Because of @davis.social posting his excellent starter pack I have now surpassed 5.5k followers. I guess that deserves some art sharing. Feel free to join in the fun with a QR of your own cool art.

I got, idk, maybe two episodes into Alien Earth and the decision was made to send in the indestructible kids to retrieve stuff from the crashed spaceship and I thought “oh man, this is so stupid and contrived on so many levels I can’t go on.”
What’s an episode of a TV show that was so bad it made you quit watching it altogether?

For me, it was this 2012 Doctor Who Christmas special, which contained the same tired “Doctor WHO?” joke no fewer than four times

Carol of the Bells in #
Kyiv subway.

Voices of the Embassies of Germany, France, and the United Kingdom came together to perform Shchedryk in the Kyiv metro as a sign of solidarity with Ukraine.

Thankful to everyone who stands with us!

Behold! My Solar System Christmas tree 🎄

Created 5 years ago, it’s a black tree with hand painted ornaments. Each year I added something new—asteroids from clay, moon ornaments, tree skirt, more stars, and even made it rotate. One year it was my favorite exoplanetary system, TRAPPIST-1. 🔭🧪🐡

Judging by all the new followers I have it looks like @davis.social has posted his Artist Starter list again (thanks for that!). Therefore, I will introduce myself…

The guarantee of job security with GOP aligned businesses is being at once cartoonishly evil, completely corrupt, AND a bumbling incompetent on the order of a Scooby Doo villain.

Just for contrast, this is what Terry Gilliam was able to do on a budget probably smaller than the cost of Matt Damon’s helmet.
