One of my favorite things about teaching a western class some dozen years back was that a decent percentage of the students were vocally thirsty for Tuco and I thought "you know, the kids, they're alright"

Still a mystery!
I've had a song from a dvd menu screen stuck in my head for more than twenty years, and I'd love to figure out what it's from. Maybe you know!

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

I'm a firm believer that if you draw things that you love to draw, do them well (or work to improve with each drawing so that you eventually will do them well), and share them on the regular, then the work that comes your way will be drawing those things. 1/2

The image in my header is a drawing from a trip to north Wales, where I hiked up to the top of that mountain where Merlin saw the red and white dragons fighting.
I fell off the top of said mountain, but not very far (broke my easel, though).

Oh, wow, this looks great! These types of books are absolute treasure troves for artists (and writers). Very excited for this one (look through the thread for interiors).

In this comprehensive setting guide you'll be able to see, touch, taste, hear and smell your way through everything that modern-day scholars currently know of the enigmatic culture of the Picts, from the perspective of someone living in the late 7th Century.

like a lover’s embrace.
Its body pressed on hers.
