Call me Thistle. I like beetles, 17th century square-rigged tall ships, and Japanese pro wrestling.

甲虫や帆船や日本のプロレスが大好き。よろしく！

A raccoon draws with its paws on a piece of paper. It says “GENERATIVE A.I. IS PART OF AN AUTHORITARIAN CORPORATOCRATIC EFFORT TO CO-OPT AND COMMODIFY THE CREATIVE PROCESS TO RID THE END RESULT - ART- OF THAT WHICH THREATENS ITS EXISTENCE - HUMANITY -

El Desperado art for a zine I'm working on
A loose pen sketch of El Desperado making his entrance before his first match against Kasai. He's wearing a Desperado and Douki half-mask and carrying a table top wrapped in barbed wire.

I was painting Leo's teeth today and I realized that once he gets his finished paint job and gold leaf, he's basically the lion mark??
A photo of Leo, a wooden lion figurehead from a ship. He's sitting on some wooden sawhorses in the shipyard paint room. His paintjob is only halfway finished, so he's mostly red. The photo is kind of bad, in part because of the bad lighting in this room. The iconic New Japan Pro Wrestling logo - a circle with a red and gold lion in the center, surrounded by the words KING OF SPORTS NEW JAPAN PRO-WRESTLING

Another day at the shipyard. Still a lot of ice in the river.
A square-rigged tall ship, docked in a river that's covered in ice. A plastic greenhouse is affixed over the decks. Native grasses emerge from the snow in the foreground. The ship's figurehead is missing, because I am inside painting it.

I was sketching and got really mad that the ink in my pen wasn't flowing right but then I checked and the pen was just all out of ink 😅 So far I think the Platinum Carbon ink flows a bit too well and the Diamine Raven ink seems to sometimes get clogged for reasons I can't figure out.
An unfinished rough pen drawing of El Desperado wearing a Douki and Despe half mask, holding half a table over his shoulder and with some hints of barbed wire drawn on there too, sketched with an Ackerman G Nib pen. It's unfinished because my pen ran out of ink.

Snowed In #oldknees
Two crows are flying through a snowstorm. "I can hardly see a thing!" yells one, "We can't keep going like this!" The other one replies "Let's take a break!" They land in a snow-covered field, the snow is falling gently. "Oh!" exclaims one while looking around at the peaceful scene, "It's so beautiful when you aren't fighting against it."
