So, we sorta invaded Mexico this week…

Seriously, there is no idiocy that the #Trump administration perpetrates that can surprise. #Idiocracy did not prepare us for this level of stupidity.

Please, someone wake me from this nightmare….

Another quick morning sketch, made even more quick by the fleeting nature of early morning light. Didn’t quite get the colors right…sigh

Life in a hammock passes at the right pace. Just me, some good music, the sky and a good book…

The face of evil is not always replete with the tell-tale signs from legend. Sometimes it’s just boring and innocuous, like this.

If you don’t like same-sex marriage, don’t marry someone of your sex. Don’t steal the happiness of over 800,000 other people.

Relaxing to the new Saint Motel album and doing a little light research….

Cool autumn winds blow
As I cut winter’s firewood.
Gold, red and brown leaves
Float on the winds to the sky
Would that I could go with them.

POTMA is destroying parts of the East Wing for his vanity project. Is there a better analogy for this Orange-tinged Nightmare in which we live? Also, liars gonna lie….

I haven’t drawn anything in a month. Today my lovely companion got into a scrap with our foster dog.

She fought an initially defensive fight before delivering a reverso fendenti to the face, ending the contest.
