Orange-toned children’s book illustration of a family at a fall festival. An older man sits on a haystack and plays pumpkin chess with his grandkid while a couple cousins watch (one about to bite an Apple cider donut), surrounded by pumpkins. A parent with coffee looks to the side with a worried smile as their child presents a pumpkin that is about as big as they are! Underneath is text that says “Kris Easler, rep’d by Jen Rofé, kriseasler.com”

In the period between The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring there must have been quite an adjustment period when confirmed bachelor Bilbo adopted young Frodo… @jenrofe.bsky.social @andreabrownlit.bsky.social #hobbits #bilbo #frodo

A color illustration of Bilbo, holding a book and looking a bit miffed, and Frodo, who has stolen his big comfy red chair, eaten his food, and is now sleeping in front of a cozy fireplace.

Hey, can we stop comparing rude or incompetent politicians to children? It's so insulting to kids.

Dogs are just the best ❤️ (featuring my two rescued grannies/gremlins)

Two small-ish senior dogs, a white, fluffy, clingy menace of an American Eskimo and a red Shiba Inu who may actually be a skittish fae creature.

I didn't find out about #dogust until it was a bit late in the month...but until next year here are a couple good boys/girls I sketched a while ago that still make me happy (like all dogs do)

Pencil sketch with digital color of a cream and brown spotted dog. Very leggy. Obnoxious tongue out ready to lick.

Pencil sketch with digital color of a Samoyed. So much floof. Tiny adorable smile.

Pencil sketch with digital color of a French Bulldog. Extra bandy legs. Just so ugly-cute.
