Two Tick-pics: 1) When you wrap the dog so she’s wearing a cloak, and 2) When she does it herself.
Tickles after I put a black shirt around her head. Tickles when she sat up in bed “wearing” the pale green comforter as a babushka.

… but I use eight of them
Screenshot of my Bluesky profile. My name is followed by seven emojis: Gay flag, artist’s palette, music notes, dog, plant, books, wine, and blue butterfly.

On Thursday, the #CrockerArtMuseum held a “Renaissance Faire” evening (though attire of the attendees spanned many eras). One of the activities was decorating a paper shield. Here’s mine.
Me in beige tunic shirt standing in front of a replica of a penned unicorn tapestry holding a paper shield decorated with a dog and squirrel themed coat of arms (paws?)

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekTforTelevision Here’s another prompted TV drawing. From a prompt in #642ThingsToDraw “presidential pets” it’s Checkers
Brush pen sketch of the head of Richard Nixon’s famous spaniel in a cylindrical glass jar of liquid on a wall-mounted shelf. The dog head is alert and happy with tongue out. The page is printed with the prompt “presidential pets” at the top and at the bottom, my hand-scrawled cryptic explanation of how I got the reference photo: GIS #1 “checkers jar futurama” (the first image returned by a Google Image Search on the quoted phrase.)

I’m going to post TV themed #art from the various prompted drawings I have done ( #Inktober #642ThingsToDraw) for #AlphabetChallenge #WeekTforTelevision
Here’s #Morty
Inktober 2022 the day 22 prompt was “Heist.” My brush pen drawing is Morty (from the show “Rick and Morty”) saying “You son of a bitch, I’m in!” from an episode that parodies all the overused tropes found in Heist movies.

Oil on canvas. An old blue bicycle with a bent basket casts a shadow on the concrete. Behind, a low boxwood hedge and a tall screen of deep green foliage.

The little pit mix with smug grin and perky ears trots toward the viewer casting a deep dark shadow on the pool deck in the bright afternoon Sacramento Valley summer sun.
