Inspired by Rachel Doodles, this is a digital version of one of her templates done in Procreate as an experiment. I loosely redid it in Procreate using inking and watercolor brushes. #doodle #procreate #digitalpainting

5 years ago, I did this 🦒 image "Gerty" in graphite ✏️ on Strathmore Series 300 Vellum paper--just a white background.
This year, I decided to add color to it with Procreate and see what I could do to add dimension to it. 😃

The Masque of Anarchy by Percy Bysshe Shelley (Excerpt).

"The rallying language of the poem had led to elements of it being used by political movements. It was recited by students at the Tienanmen Square protests of 1989 and by protesters in Tahrir Square during the Egyptian revolution of 2011."🗽🇺🇸

Anyone who claims to be Republican, Christian and yet stands by idly allow the convicted felon in chief to drive nails into the coffin of our country and protect child predators, needs to wear this as a button.

2073 might be the most important documentary, disguised as a sci-fi film, that you will see this year.
Don't miss it and better understanding of the world we live in will result in changing how you see.

Trump really hates this orange photo of him that Fox was using. So I made it better with a Jester King's Crown for No Kings Day tomorrow (June 14th, his 78th Birthday).
He'd be really pissed if this went viral.

I used a Snapchat filter to illustrate the callus stupidity of the POTUS getting DEI/political before all the bodies had even been retrieved. 👎🏼
