More warm up drawings of these two from the last few months. I'm working on their story a lot for the first time in a long time (it's easier to write than paint while I still work on healing) and I can't wait to show it to you all some day!

I made this when I had the super-fun @acaseoflala.bsky.social on my Gab ‘n’ Doodle show. ⬇️ See comments for a funny clip that shows her spelling prowess

Making art is the closest thing I can think of to magical wish fulfillment. Because what do you mean I can just PAINT my childhood fantasies into reality?

It's the release date of The Day Leap Soared!! To celebrate here are all the dogs doing some interpretations of "reading."
A brown and cream Alaskan husky (Jenga) is sitting at a table with her head resting on a closed book. The bg is a bright yellow, and she has a red "...?" above her head. Is this reading? Not as exciting as expected. A big dark brown and white husky with freckles around his mouth (Colbert) is sitting while chewing on a book. It already has a chunk missing. His tail is curled in, and he appears pretty satisfied. A dark grey and cream husky with brown ears (Leap) is jumping over an open book on the ground and looking at it as she passes by. She looks interested, but probably only read a couple words on this pass.
