Tip: Drawing hands is easy when you just completely give up on anatomy. This same tip can be applied to many things, in all areas of life.

#artadventcalendar — #SundayFishSketch, ye olde Rio Grande Cichlid #25daysoffishmas
After a sketch, I decided to start with a layer with a plausible pattern, and then work above and below that layer to render the fish. So the background actually is in front of the foreground. This is irrelevant.

Is it #artadventcalendar, or a bit of an #artdump where I dig up a half finished piece, and toss in a few details until I can call it sort of done?

Sometimes I forget #artadventcalendar exists. Or to draw. Or that time passes.
Here’s a baby walrus. His name is Howard, he is already tired of Howard Taft jokes, and he doesn’t know it now but his friend group is going to learn about Howard the Duck soon, and then quack at him mercilessly.

Not sure what possessed me here, but I can only assume it was rodent necromancers.

Garage door in Beacon, NY.
Not the best maintained garage In town. But fascinating in an “about to collapse” way.
The problem I have with more abstract art is knowing when I’m done. so much harder than a little capybara or other animal.

My father’s wife (otherwise a fine human being) referred to my art as derivative. This will shortly be hanging on her refrigerator.
(she’s honestly a hoot, and I like that she doesn’t sugar coat anything)

Wallkill Tower, an old water tower that was turned into a cell phone tower. I took the reference photo a year or two ago in Wallkill, NY, last time I was in the area.

In the teeny, tiny town of Beacon, NY, there is a teeny, tiny free art gallery that fits in a box — take or leave art. It now has a display of a dozen of my pieces as stickers, and someone else’s ghosts.
They’re really very charming ghosts. That someone else should be very proud.

Found this drawing from when I was first learning #procreate, and I don’t think I’ve ever posted it. He is loosely based on a friend’s Uncle Lemme-lone. Not sure if the uncle was covered in fur, but pretty sure he wore clothes.
Loosely based on him.
