Why?! Just because. 🤣🤘

I asked myself "What's have you always wanted to draw, but haven't?"

Donkey came to mind. I just find them so personable and adorable!! 💙🫏

Thought I would let you all in on who really runs our household: Thelma and Louise. 🤣🐾

These two pupparinos may look cute as hell, but they also have a bit of a rapscallion side as well.

We've had Thelmy since a puppy and Squeezey is a rescue. ❤️🐾

Wanted to show some of the steps in the quail illustration. 💙🪶

I had this suggested by my aunt several months ago and have had it in my head since.

Done and done! 🤘🤣

Wanted to show a few steps in the development of "Snow Day." I really kind of winged this one.

Had absolutely no idea at the beginning how I was going to execute the snow. The process was frustrating, but I love the result. 🤘🦬

Going to it on the next illustration: Gambel's Quail (Callipepla gambelii). A male to be specific. 🤙🪶

Once I get this background in, I can move on to ink and then markers. 🤘

Still trying to expand my repertoire and I'm nothing if not punctually late. Therefore, for National Bison Day (which was LAST Saturday), I present my newest entitled "Snow Day." 🦬

This illustration started as a study in textures using monochromatic elements. I feel like it ended as so much more. 🤘🔥

Went ahead and added some Copic markers. I underlaid the green with some gray to show a bit more depth and I love the way it turned out! 💚🤘Has a classic comic vibe.

Defy. Resist. Rebel.

Guy Fawkes Night is tonight. Even though he himself wasn't successful, he has come to represent protest, anonymity and defiance.

I did this quick illustration in marker and Prismacolor to honor today. 🤘🔥💙

Just a day late with this one. World Basking Shark Day was yesterday. Never tried illustrating one before, so here's we are! 🤘🤣

The Basking Shark (Cetorhinus maximus) is the 2nd largest fish and a filter feeder.

I know I posted this earlier this month, but felt it deserved a repost with it being both #Halloween AND #FishyFriday.

My daughter carved the Jaws one (lower right) and I carved the others in different years.
