It looks crooked and I hate it

“This Crocodile Rocks”

Watercolor with colored pencils and gel pens. Done for an art prompt of ‘crocodile’ on discord. I just couldn’t get Elton John out of my head.

Crocodile rock is coming together.

Won’t click on it or directly repost it because this hack doesn’t deserve it, but I do need to get my shots off as well.

Fuck you buddy. Why do you hate Milwaukee so damn much. Nonstop hater and most of the time you realize he’s watched like 3 handpicked games and not much else. Bitch, derogatory.

Landscape from my watercolor class last night. Still needs another sit down to add in some details, shading, and highlights. Colors layered in very nicely so far.

Good morning ☀️

But I fell asleep reading a story, I was mid-chapter, and now it’s coffee and reading time…nooooooooooo!

Working on an idea for an art prompt, crocodile, and all my brain would do is this again and again. So here’s a sloppy sketch of my brainstorming.

Proof of Sketch:
I was looking at Japanese brushed ink landscapes and did this.

Bucks Win 🏆

It’s pouring out but my dog doesn’t care. She begs to go out and then just sits there staring at the rain. This is my entertainment as I start making lunches for the kids.

“Game Day”

Even when I’m just messing around with a French curve and some circle stencils, I have basketball on the brain. I was just making curves and stumbled onto an idea. This was painted with watercolor and lined with gel pens.

Also it’s game day! Go Bucks, defend the cup!!!

Kuma passed out behind me as I sketch.

Rollins had a real Giannis kind of night. Feel like that assists number got shorted by his teammates who didn’t bring it.

Rylo is really good, but not
carry the whole damn team good. Yet?

Paaaaaaaaaaaat!!!

Go Bucks!

I just bought a Rollins jersey so I kind of like tonight’s lineup. Let’s see if he can shine again with Giannis out.

Went out to Discovery Park yesterday to try and see some whales but that part didn’t work out. Still it was beautiful out and I’m so lucky to have great local parks in my city.

Bucks Win, it was something.

Ryan Rollins is good and growing his game right before our eyes.

Snapshot of career vs ‘25-‘26 season averages from StatMuse. Growth in literally every category. We can’t draft players but we can sure develop these second chance players damn well.

Me, suddenly remembering that Del Toro loves working with Perlman 😂
November 9, 2025 at 10:19 PM
Rollins quietly doing well even though he’s had long and strong defenders like Thompson and Easen all game.

Post you from a different era (young dad, not yet aged by twins)

Look, I know it’s not me with a wild look but my kids were too cute in this one.

Good luck to Katie Wilson, Alexis Mercedes Rinck, Dionne Foster, Erika Evans, and all of Seattle today.

Vote for hope and a safer better tomorrow with a coalition of progressive folks who seem to like each other and want to work together. VOTE!!

We saw Off Book last night in Seattle. It was fantastic. Jess and Zach are incredibly good at what they do.

Super bonus for us, we had sushi before the show and guess who sat next to us! Jess, Zach, Scott, and their guest drummer. We talked a little but left em alone otherwise. Super cool night.
