The way to get your bird to eat healthy food is to disguise it as being on an important human-intended dish somewhere away from the usual bird-feeding spot.
..she then feaked on the toaster oven.

Buncha turkey vultures circling the house earlier, couple of red tails tagged along.
Now I'm debating whether it was brightness that washed out feather coloration or what, lol.

Found a dollhouse on the side of the road.
Figuring out how to decorate it and set it up for Bird, had some miniatures to throw in there. Bird gives the disapproving "nuh-uh" to a plastic cup on a plastic saucer.
(Any water sound you may hear in the background is the aquarium, next to the house)

Scoping out the nesting options?
Would be cool if they did, then I could track the progress on a weekly basis while doing laundry.

The calls of black bellied whistling ducks in slow motion.
Visually, Nothing super interesting other than broody clouds; recording with the slo-mo video option on my phone is the easiest way I know how to capture and edit at the moment.

Susceptible to a blank page staring at me from the desk.
3 hours' worth of lines over the last two days.
Gotta shift gears over to my mom's request for a bday/bon voyage card for aunt by the 22nd, plus like 3 other big projects.

Got some microscopic touch-ups, but otherwise is done.
Haven't figured out if it's got a specific position, portrait or landscape. Intentionally nebulous, I guess.
Will add to the old ko-fi shop later.
Onto the next art project ☆

Haven't seen all of Creature Commandos, but I like GI Robot, so I did a quick digital paint of GI Robot.

throwback to that time Lego made a scientist-me, since it popped up in my memories from over a decade ago.
a friend tagged me with this critical information and i later went on a drunken shopping spree and added it to my collection.

Some more of my trademark rainbow vomit.
Found a piece I'd started inking earlier this year and needed a distraction.
Also learning that a lot of my alcohol markers are dying after well over a decade :*(
