DECK the Halls 22. Jack of Light Bulbs. I imagine the queen would be a Christmas tree light and the King would be a spotlight or something. #deckthehalls #deckember #drawing #challenge #deck #design #playing #playingcards #inktober #cards #monthly #royal #suit #jack #light #bulb

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

Sketch for this year's Christmas card

More traditional media experimentation! Watercolor, ink, color pencil, and a little bit of digital touchup.

DECK the Halls 09. King of Movies. Nine eyes, eight thumbs up, five stars tattoos, three 3d glasses, a film fest pass, a reserved seat, a halo of numbers counting down to the start of the film, and silence, please. #deckthehalls #deckember #drawing #challenge #king #cinema #movies #3d #theater

DECK the Halls 08. Queen of Death. #deckthehalls #deckember #drawing #challenge #deck #design #playing #playingcards #inktober #cards #monthly #queen #death #scythe

DECK the Halls 07. Jack of Pineapples. Sentient tropical fruit royalty wielding the knife once used to harvest his kind. He's prickly on the outside but sweet on the inside. #deckthehalls #deckember #drawing #challenge #deck #design #playing #playingcards #inktober #cards #monthly #jack #pineapple

DECK the Halls 06. King of Lightning. Dark goggles help him see as he is made of lightning. Living electricity often mistaken for Zeus. #deckthehalls #deckember #drawing #challenge #deck #design #cards #monthly #king #lightning #zeus #electricity

DECK the Halls 05. Queen of Atoms. The patron saint of literally everything. Reality is her drawing board. Safety goggles and funky headwear. She makes up everything, though. Heyooo! #deckthehalls #deckember #drawing #challenge #deck #design #cards #monthly #queen #atoms #facecard #science

Hey there! I collated all of my Baba Yaga drawings for Baba Yaugust 2024 and 2025 into two coloring books and I'm pretty excited how they all turned out. If you want one, I can ship worldwide. Just DM me for prices. But even if you don't get one, I wanted to show them off. #babayaugust #babayaga

It would cost $30 billion to end homelessness in the USA.

Laws aren't real. They exist solely on account of buy-in from society's participants. Once one side disengages, you no longer reside in a society based on laws. You live in a society based on power and armed force. I am begging folks to accept this so we can get moving.

DECK the Halls 04. Jack of Fire. A burning knave. A pyrokinetic royal who has become one with the flames that hypnotize him. Every palace burns. #deckthehalls #deckember #drawing #challenge #deck #design #cards #monthly #jack #fire #flames #pyro

DECK the Halls 03. King of Spikes. A very pointy regent. AKA Mr Pokey. Uses a fortune on hair product. At home on the wasteland. The suit is like railroad spikes. #deckthehalls #deckember #drawing #challenge #deck #design #cards #monthly #king #spike #spikes

DECK the Halls 02. Queen of Cats. A necklace of bird/rodent skulls and a crown of tiny ribcage bones. And a neck ruffle. She is the queen of cats. But all cats are the queen of cats, so it's a shared title. #deckthehalls #deckember #drawing #challenge #monthly #queen #cats #cat #playingcards #design

DECK the Halls 01. Jack of Books. This is going to be interesting. This took longer than I thought, of course, so we'll see how my approach changes as we go. I ran of out time for color. I like to post the ones I'm not happy with as well as the ones I like. Feel free to try one or two if you like.

I'm not sure how many of them I'll get to but my idea for December was to do a royal suit card for random stuff. This is the list I generated in case you want to join in with a quick sketch or two. #deckthehall #deckember #drawing #challenge #monthly

I named my fists John and Cage because you're not going to be doing anything for the next four minutes and thirty three seconds

Baba Yaugust 31. Jeweler. This Yaga flies on a giant diamond opal, the only one of its kind, and wields a jeweler's magnifying eyepiece that can tell the worth and perfection levels of anything it looks into, including people. Her judgement is final and defining. (1/3)

I think we need Halloween advent calendars. Not just chocolate treats but snippets of infernal verse, tarot cards, monster figurines, disguises, unholy relics, animal skulls, potion recipes, witch history trading cards, adoption hotlines for familiars, Halloween puns, spells, and stuff like that.

Baba Yaugust 30. Seamstress. This Yaga flies on a spool of infinitely extensible, multicolored, unbreakable thread. She telekinetically wields large sewing scissors that never go dull, a giant golden needle, and three expandable, indestructible thimbles. (1/3)
