The things I find in my travels...
I think the inexplicably pink albino eyes really brings the piece together. The icing on the moldy cake.

Wandering around one of my old haunts in Scarborough, the town I grew up in. I lived in this area in 1999, and spent much time exploring these trails. In spring of that year, I had my first and only encounter with American goshawks. Unfortunately, that pair was driven out by urban sprawl.

So when Putin is killed are we supposed to show our respect? Give our condolences? Send our prayers? Call him a family man?
Fuck outta here.
Fuck outta here.

I am opposed to AI products and services because of the extra power they require... IN A CLIMATE CRISIS. I am opposed to AI results - texts and illustrations - because they've been created unethically, via theft and non-consensual use of the work of others. Share if you agree.

Calling side one done! Feels good to be putting my paleoart to use in activism. Pose is based on an illustration of Utahraptor by Robert Bakker.

Almost done with this one. Mr. Slashey got most of his details put in today. I just need to put some finishing touches on him, add color and decide what topic(s) to put in the last open space in the left.

The smoke from the wildfires in Canada has been making the light in my area an eerie shade of pink for several days. On Sunday evening the sun looked particularly ominous behind the filter of smoke, and I captured this image of it near the Kennebec River in Dresden, Maine.
