Been peeling out of hibernation mode. Toned paper has been nice for practicing my shapes and lines, when my woodburning practice has left me a little disappointed.
Here's a quick yard sketch I'm very pleased with and a cross-eyed owl... I'm sure my grandmother will love.

Saw someone on here philosophizing about what it means to be an artist and struggling with that. Simple solution: just go out and make art. Don't overthink it.

Driving through and decided to see America's greatest prognosticating rodent. I assumed there was just a lineage of Phil's but the official lore is much more baffling and includes a magic elixir.

Spalting is a process where wood starts to rot and change in color. It also makes beautiful bowls.
Can't wait to work with these pieces. Last pic is a spalted bowl.
