Flying off to Louisiana today for a short bit of field surgeries to implant GSM transmitters in mallards. I look forward to returning to art and writing afterwards.

I had a real nice trip back home to the PNW. Saw family, friends, and had a good time at ANW. Just got back in Milwaukee and it’s gonna be a busy week ahead. Orders to ship, bird surgeries in Louisiana, new art to start!

Blew out some emu eggs. One contained 500 mls of goo, the other 450 mls. Gonna try something artistic with the shells, the contents will get scrambled up for tacos.

It’s a real dick-punch, but I’m boycotting Coke till they back off on using GenAI in advertising. Right now they just double-down & pretend it’s not AI, showing zero empathy while marketing artificial humanity. I like cane sugar coke but the world (and me) will be better off without this shit.

Pteri's a good kitty. They boosted my Discord server recently and made the community better, so I drew them a sticker. Yeah, it's rare that I draw mammals, but it was a fun attempt.

I'm happy to say that 80% of those who buy a copy of Whiterock choose the spicy adult edition. Even some non-furries are buying it. You reaffirm to me that sexual curiosity is alive and well in the world. 👏👏
