Some mo’ Mo. What he lacks in range of facial expressions, he makes up for in hand gestures, including using his hands to shovel food into his mouth!

Say, who is this latest little critter in my little sketchbook? This is my new pet African Clawed Frog, Clawed Monet- but you can call him Mo!

Another mini sketch, this time a still life. I was just suddenly struck by the glow of this lightbulb in a dim room.

I saw yesterday was Pluto’s birthday, and I just so happened to doodle this cursed Pluto-Bluto mashup the other day.

My cousin commissioned this drawing to be displayed at her wedding! It was a lovely ceremony this past weekend as we celebrated this journey I got to visualize.
