Inktober Day 2 WEAVE even a mustache will try to make itself more attractive.

I tangled in a braided weave,
All silky, smooth, and neat.
But every time they brushed me out,
I landed at their feet.

I really like this guy, for some reason he just makes me smile 😃

This year, for @inktober I was inspired to write an epic, dramatic, slightly ridiculous tale of one lonely mustache searching for its true destiny.

Today there is a bonus sketch for my sister who passed away 4 years ago today. This frogs for you, @hickeymelanie ❤️

I created this piece right after Charlottesville in 2017 and called it “American Triage”. I live in a VERY Red where thinking differently and independently is frowned upon. I switched to Bluesky with the hope that I can freely express myself.

Hi! I'm a freelance illustrator from the St. Louis area. When a platform has a butterfly for a logo you know it must be a happy place. 🙂 I love creating portraits and making images that make you smile.
