Hope ya'll are well.

Got a new computer recently (spiffy HP Omen-OMG those gamer LED lights, I love (I am easily amused))
Somehow got a free #Corel #Painter Essentials + #Paintshop Pro with it, so installed those. This is the result of playing around with the programs last night.

Heya.I haven't drawn at all in far too long, so tonight I sat down +made myself #draw something. Doesn't have to be good, just has to BE. I think it's a reflection of my state of anxiety about the world these days. Yipper Coyote, I don't think a cute gesture will help- but then again, maybe it will.

Oh dear, well- hopefully they aren't interested in anything I mention here. XD
I'm trying to think of the weirdest thing... I'm having a little trouble, tbh. Maybe silly? Well actually- babarusas are pretty weird looking critters so...
Ok. Here's a babarusa dressed as Capt. Barbossa from POTC 😆

I have a tradition I've kept, started when I was probably 5 or 6 years old. I make the last drawing of a year just before midnight New Year's and then the first new drawing of/in the new year. (Also drawings for my birthday from age to age.) Here's this year's- Yipper and Furr #Coyote. #pencil

Stardust #Butterfly. Inspired by the Pillars of Creation nebula. I did this in #markers for my Mom to look at in the hospital during her double lung transplant 2 years ago. Speaking of which, prayers and well-wishes for her are appreciated as she isn't feeling very good right now.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Or just have a wonderful day <3
Part of a card I did recently for a family friend who lives in Northern California along the coast, thus there is a #blacktail #deer and some #bananaslugs (if you look closely). #markers

Have some whimsy-my half puffin, half #gryphon creature, which I call a "Puphon". I tried to see puffins in the wild visiting #BassRock in Scotland one year, but missed them by a week, d'oh. Speaking of Bass Rock, I did this #puffin and Northern #Gannet art afterwards. Amazing place. #digitalart

Not quite art, but here's my pack o' Hobbits. 4 dogs: Samwise (German/King? #Shepherd - he's big), Merry ( #pit/Bullmastiff mix), Pippin ( #AustralianKelpie) and Rosie Cotton (we call her a chimiki, dna test said #chihuahua and #Mi-Ki mix). I guess this makes me Frodo! 💍

When Covid hit, I decided if I couldn't travel to water I'd bring it to me,got my 1st fish tank.
Now have MTS (Multiple Tank Syndrome):10 tanks ranging from 3-30 gallons. 😅
If I knew you could have tiny, happy, adorkable catfish ( #corys ) I would've had tanks much sooner.

QRP with your skull art!
Mountain lion studies from my first book, "Drawing Wildlife".
@hkluterman.bsky.social I think this might actually be drawn from a skull you found years ago?
