Owl.

- 8x10, ink, coloured pencils, acrylic ink, inktense pencil, on tan stock.

A drawing of a stylized owl, who looks like he'd rather you NOT hang about. There are fall leaves, pumpkins, a dying picket fence and some spooky trees in the moonlit background.

Garfield
“What do you want Odie?

You want me to string this bow?

Oh no, I can’t. I’m going back to bed. I hate Mondays.”

Watches in amazement as Odie effortlessly strings the bow and shoots an arrow through 12 axe heads.

“What are you doing Odie? Let’s talk about this, put down the sword!”

Drood this during my stream a while ago.

A portrait of a dragon. There's a diagonal bar across the image. Everything inside the bar is fully rendered in burgundy/blue/green while everything outside the bar is just an ink outline.

Tonight : some personal art. If you can figure out what it means, more power to you.

A rough sketch of a rabbit-headed person sits in front of a drafting desk. A very curled paper or scroll is in front of him.

Sitting in Aromatic Beans, a coffee house in Kanata (that's 1027 Teron Road if ya interested).

Good coffee, purchased from local roasters, Canadian owned and operated.

10/10 would recommend!

Tonight : working on a piece I sold in a local church charity auction. It's a portrait of a kitty. Yes, I'll pick up my halo at the door.

A WIP of a pet portrait, in this case a white kitty. He's surrounded by vines and leaves.

I always hack. Can’t help it, it’s what I do. Hacking rules is how folks start with game design.

I want to see a satire of folks who enforce all the bad parts of the prime directive.

“Sir! Doctors Without Galactic Borders is going to cure a plague that will wipe out an entire planet!”

“Diabolical!”

Tonight : acrylic painting, again. A dragon, again. But the canvas is oval, so that's new.

A very incomplete oval portrait of a dragon. On black, of course.

Anybody here fluent in Quebec French? I'm going to a small con in October, and I'll need French signage.

I will run things through Google Translate, but if anyone would be so kind as to read over my results so I'm not insulting someone's ancestors, I'm willing to trade an art for your time.
