Today is day 4 of Tolktober - and the theme is: wings.

If you don't know what's all that about yet, it's kinda like #inktober but better, because it's focusing on Tolkien.

Do I burn through ink quicker than I do through coffee? Sure.
Does it take ages to manage? Naturally.

But I didn't expect that being able to handle the whole process myself would feel so good.

I never really pursued the gallery world, for many reasons, but it's nice seeing some of my inks in such great company.

Artists be like: I can't wait to have some free time.
Also, artists be like: Oh, a new project? Don't mind if I do.

Looks like bluesky supports gifs now?

Are videos still a thing on bluesky or did that flop? I'm so out of the loop.

Here's a #bear I inked for an upcoming show at Nucleus in Portland, Oregon.
