More board, now with poop! Slowly working through the background.
Work in progress in colored pencil. Two uncolored goats in the foreground. Background has three light brown boards running horizontal over three weathered grey boards. Some bird poop on the boards. Bottom horizontal board only partially blocked in with color.

Yeah, I'm going to be board for awhile on this piece.
Work in progress with the boards of the food bunker in the background partially done. Two goats are sketched in the foreground without other color added. An upside down photo also sits on the image because the artist forgot to take it off before taking a picture and is too lazy to remove it to take another.

Yup, more goats.
Work in progress showing adult goat and kid as yet uncolored. Color blocking of fence and background started in colored pencil

Hi folks, this is again a plea for help. There still is no cleared donor. People working through the system but again-if you're at all interested in trying to help, it takes months to get cleared as a donor. There's a lot of delays/appointments.
So please consider and spread it around, thank you.

I am afraid I have absolutely terrible news. I need a lot of help now, from everyone. I currently have NO CLEARED DONOR for transplant and we only have a short period of time to get this done. Please SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE AND PLEASE TRY TO DONATE!

I am quite frankly desperate to make ends meet this month. We are $900 short on rent alone despite everything, and could really use any help we can get. I'm taking autumn YCH commissions and accepting any other help I can get to make sure the check clear in just a few days here.

"Trust Fall"
Colored pencil on roughmade paper
9 x 12 inches

Before nesting and when courting each other Bald Eagles will fly with their mate, lock talons and fall, each trusting the other to let go before they are harmed.
I didn't think about the fact I would finish this around the 4th of July.
Celtic Style bald eagle pair with talons locked together. One above the other, each with one wing extended and one folded. Surrounded by blue knotwork reminiscent of the sky.

Dear companies, don't use AI for your ads. It makes it look like you don't have any good videos of your product and the only reason to not have good videos of your product is because it is crap. AI makes your product look like crap.
Two image screenshots from an ad for a dog leg brace. Both pictures have the same general look - two dogs, the light dog on the bottom is dragging it's rear legs as though paralyzed. The top creature is not a dog - it is an AI conglomeration that looks like the front half of a dog with no front legs attached the legs of a dark skinned person wearing shorts that have a rottweiler tail printed on them. The second image has the mutant beast with a single human arm in place of a foreleg.

*sees the news, tries not to panic*
*decides to spray art with fixative to focus on something else*
*fixative turns very black background a weird, frosted glass white color*
*panic anyway*
(I was able to save it by re-inking over the fixative)

Ahh, it is good to be home for a bit!
Starting to color the (5? 7? I lost track) ideas I had sketched out the past few weekend. First done:
"Luna"
7 x 7 inches Luna Moth
Ink, Inktense Pencils and Colored Pencils on Arches Watercolor Paper
Luna Moth surrounded by phases of the moon. Black background, moth is mostly green with purple/magenta for the Celtic design in the wings

We collaborated on this piece pretty much start to finish and it was a delight, our beautiful baby!
a decorative border framing a man with the head of a stag holding a shepherd's crook and patting the antlered head of a regular deer. A young fawn still in its spots rests peacefully at his feet. Behind the figures are mountains, trees, and clouds, and flanking him are two comets. The bottom text reads "Harmony helps small things grow."

Just a couple favorites out of the *9* sketched ideas from this weekend!
American flag on left, Irish flag on right. Colors "running" from the ends into knotwork. "But as you ascend the ladder, look out below where you tread. For the colors blend as they overflow - red, white, and blue, green white and gold." Stylized luna mother sketch (left half) with knotwork in the wings. Surrounded by the moon phases. Traditional semi-Norse style dog knotwork design.

So, the guys that refuse straws because it "makes men gay"... do they also think ice cream in a cone makes women lesbians?

Hey! I'm in Amana, IA this weekend and next for the Iowa Renaissance Festival! Come check it out :)
Ezyup style tent covered in raw canvas. Open in front and back. On the left front is a lattice holding two pieces of art - one showing a red dragon coming out of the page, the lower a round Celtic style piece of three horses in red, blue, and green. Also on the left is a rack with several folded blankets.

I've been working on a project I can't share yet... but is really cool! (to me, at least!) So have an older piece of mine that I still like from 2003. It certainly isn't perfect, and I've come a long way, but I'm happy how the bagpipes and tartan looked and want to revisit the idea some day.
Border Collie playing a set of bagpipes wearing a red/yellow/black tartan. Pipes have a brown bag and red tassels. Rocks, hills and mountains create the background like the Scottish moors. Colors are soft and shading is poor. Collie's hands are a little frightening. Watermark is old and no longer an active website.

Today I will commit the sin of empathy -
I will give to those who need it
I will listen to those that need an ear
I will be a shoulder and a rock
I will not give in to those who think it is a weakness
I am stronger for my sin

Do you have a Venmo/Paypal/Ko-fi? I'm sure the last thing you have energy for is setting up a GoFundMe - maybe there's someone who can do that for you? Continuing to send good energy to you all.
