Working Dog, 5x7 colored pencils. Thanks for looking! Please let me know what you think!
And yes, I did all that grass.

I’m actually really loving the small scale of 5x7 that I’m doing this on! Learning how to do wet fur has been a fun challenge! #artsky #coloredpencil #petportrait

And I’m back and drawing! Working on a hunting dog for a baby nursery for a commission. I’m happy that my coworkers believe in me and support my work! The work ahead to get this off the ground isn’t insurmountable, but your support will help! I love you guys, thank you!! #artsky #dogportrait

So this happened today. She’s obsessed with sleeping on my chest. This is Strega, witch in Italian! She’s so cuddly and sweet. Hasn’t met our dog yet but the other cats are chill so far about it.

Today was so much fun. I love playing live. Being creative in as many ways as possible is so important. #music #livemusic #guitar

I started reading The Let Them Theory and I’m not usually a self-help book reader. This book caps them all. Learning this lesson tops any stoicism lecture, and I feel lighter. Every good thing you’ve heard about this book is real. Please do yourself a favor and read it. #letthem #books

I don’t know why she’s so tired, she’s not the one who has to pack up the house. Being cute is exhausting. 🥱 #dogs #germanshepherd

This book was also on my list for a very…. Very long time. It’s a very fast read, and it is full of wisdom and inspiration to find your journey and remain faithful to your path. It was a very rewarding read. If you haven’t already, put it on your list.

First book of the year! If you’re new to science fiction, this is a funny and intensely interesting inroad to the genre. Weir does a commendable job of making approachable science fiction. #reading #bookreview #sciencefiction #books

These are my reading goals for this year. I think based on my rate this past year that this is realistic for me and obtainable. I want to increase the quality of what I read and become a more well rounded and well read reader. What are your goals?

This was a very brief read and I listened to it on Audible. Vivid descriptions of Africa, beautiful imagery and anecdotes. There is a colonialism aspect but unlike harsh or cruel true stories, people are treated fairly here and with respect, a rarity. #bookreview #classicbooks #books

I found this picture of my Leia when she was a little kitten asleep on a pile of books. Hard to believe this was almost 11 years ago and she’s my beautiful girl now! She’s my first cat and she’s been with me through all of my adult life so far. 🥹

Louie says thank you. He has enough love in his heart for only one person and it’s not you or me, alas. It’s my wife.

Just finished this and jaw is on the floor. It is jam packed with life philosophy about absolving regrets and finding the life you’re meant to live. I needed to find this book now and it was amazing to experience it. Do yourself a favor and dive in.
