My mom attempts to remember the Ghibli movies we've watched together:

Porco Rosso: Pig Man
Spirited Away: Spirits Ahoy
The Boy and the Heron: The Awful Bird
Totoro: Cat Bus
The Tale of Princess Kaguya: she got this one right
Princess Mononoke: Princess Nasty

I've been seeing my favorite fuzzy friends around! 🍂🐛

Illustration of a wooly (sometimes spelled woolly) bear caterpillar. It's fuzzy and cute and has a happy little smile. There's lines radiating around it and above it says "it's wooly time!" in lowercase hand lettering. The background is a light orange checkered pattern.

It's little Alex Horne!

Reminder: I'm running a special on pencil portrait commissions to help pay for booktour travel, healthcare, and wedding costs. I've also opened up my weekly drawing giveaways to the general public at just $5! Wow! You can't afford NOT to keep food on my table.

Our primate demonstrates some things they learned to the other primates. Tool-making, fishing, fire-starting. The primates sit around a small fire peacefully.

Our primate walks into their cave, places worm-in-a-rock god on a bed of leaves and then lies down in their own. They sleep peacefully.

Received a free paintbrush in the mail to advertise weatherproof painting.

And it's like, cool free paintbrush, but also, this is the most ominous thing to print on a paintbrush. Especially hard receiving it when you're a traditional artist...

Pretty wild when you realize the vast majority of public LLMs are just an AI layer on top of Wikipedia and Reddit. Basically, the "future" only exists because the past was open source

Talamanca Hummingbird from the May #BirdWhisperer

I was really excited by the composition of the photo so I chose to focus on those shapes first and foremost.

I really like the light greens of the plants growing on the stump vs the background, it really pleases me

Apparently there’s a type of northern cardinal (a subspecies? idk) with extra large crests?

Look at him! How is he so pointy?!??

#birdtober 7: Northern Cardinal!
I did some hack-job halftones on this guy and I'm not 100% sure it was the right decision but here we are.
Fountain pen and water brush, scanned with CSP halftones.

A black and white drawing of a male northern cardinal. He's sitting on a rod and stretching out to the top right, bill open as if he's yelling. There is water media-shaped shading on the bird but it's in halftones.
