I have been waiting for a good use of this meme. It’s not perfect, but it’ll do.

You two talking about your dogs during the 2nd Q&A episode on “Cool People (WDCS)” would make a great podcast. You could call it “Bitches Talk Bitches” or “The Dog Pod”

Included is my mandatory dog photo tax.
Chip, a small, silly black dog, lays on his back and looks at the camera apprehensively while raising his paws ever so slightly in a begging manner.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 9! I forgot what this one is called because it was a gift and one of my earlier works. I messed up in some spots but considering I did it freehand, I am pretty happy with how it turned out! (The design was not mine originally, it was based off a friend’s patch that he liked).
Line art of Snow White holding and looking adoringly at a hand grenade with a navy blue face mask/scarf. Over orange background with white paint splatters. Acrylic on canvas board.
