Found some of my old rocket designs and made a few mugs! Listed at surly.etsy.com each one has a little retro ufo and a planet on the inside.

Just picked a pack of peppers.

Blackbird cereal bowl. Just listed. Stoneware. Illustrations by me. Surly.etsy.com

People talk a big game about cat ladies, but lemme tell ya. I made a special trip to the deli today to get thin sliced cheddar cheese for my dog and I told the lady behind the counter it was for my son, and I believe that.

The closest thing I’ve seen to a war-zone here in Los Angeles is the CVS pharmacy on Sherman Way. That place is a nightmare. Still, I survived. The trick is, bring in your own ice cream while you wait in line.

First Woolly Bear caterpillar sighting of the season crawling through the moss picking up dewdrops from the night’s very heavy dew…he will become a pretty Isabella Tiger moth and is predicting a moderately harsh Winter since he has more black than rust🙃

I am fully here for pumpkin season.

let the gourd times roll

“The wild green parrots are screeching overhead again, dear.” Is something you say when you live in a weird little paradise as I do. But for real, google what they sound like especially in clusters. It’s startling sometimes.

Smart they shut the government down. Hopefully, it reboots the Constitution when they restart it.

Wild Sunflowers in a rosy sunset

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

Marymere Falls, Olympic NP

Hello I am Hopi pink amaranth and I am gorgeous.

Buttermilk sky…

All I know is that there are at least four different kinds of lentils and we should focus on recipes instead of starting fights with each other.

What a terrifying time to be alive.

Happy dog is happy. He had a good day today. Walks, snacks and good friends.

Look, the world is an absolute mess but we’re still growing and celebrating 1200 lb pumpkins. While there are still preposterously huge gourds, I believe there is still hope

Oh what? You don’t dress your pitbull up in beanie hats while they are sleeping?

#ArtistOfTheWeek Pretty gorgeous ceramic pieces on her bsky page and her website. Functional, whimsical, and the glaze work truly glimmers. Check out her use of textures and shapes. Lots of smart ideas.

Wild Sunflowers…these are the ones that the deer did not eat the tops off

Doing a decal firing today with some of my art on mugs and bowls.

I got canned tomatoes and pastas. Ready for that apocalypse. Join me and the zombies for carbonara.

Also, doing inktober serves to help build the brand of an asshole. Inktober is a trademarked brand & Parker has a history of issuing takedowns of anyone selling work using the word Inktober. Ask me how I know.

Can we bring back water beds and disco balls instead? I mean I thought we were gonna make this place great again?

Just remember it gets darkest before it gets completely dark. Ok then. Sweet dreams.

We merely have to maintain our calm and not react to three more years of the President of the United States threatening to attack various US cities.

This is my big tough dog who was very, very scared of a skateboard today on his walk. We’d like to thank the sweet young boy who took the time to get off his skateboard and walk over and pet Mr Wilder until he realized skateboards were not in fact, terrible monsters. 😂

Starting a new batch of bee mugs. 🐝

I’ve already started planting my cool weather greens. I mean… cool weather here is a bit of an exaggeration but still, I’m excited to leave the “scorching season” as my friend @roxling.bsky.social calls it! Here are some red leaf mustard greens popping up. I’ll thin em out in a bit.

This is true on many levels. I wrote a book once that *almost* became a tv show. They changed all the characters and the story and I did TONS of drawings for free that never saw the light of day just in the hopes it would get picked up and become a show. In the end. I got nothing. Not even my art.

California avocados are in season starting now so I’m pretty sure we will win whatever war is being waged based on sandwich toppings alone.

War-ravaged Portland

They have tried to start a war in almost every major American city and failed because most Americans don’t want war here. We like peace and aren’t violent. Are there any cities they haven’t hit yet? Have they tried Las Vegas? Maybe if they turn off the slot machines they can piss enough people off.

Don’t let the bastards grind you down. Work in progress.

Just a tiny cute planthopper, nicely designed to look like a leaf..

Imagine being the president of something that you hate. What a garbage life.

War ravaged *Portland* Portland? Portland. Where old hippies go to retire and eat fig jam.

Thai basil going to seed is gorgeous. Will save seeds to plant next year. It’s my absolute favorite basil.

Those men on the Supreme Court will be haunted by their actions. There is no way that they will get through their life without their guilt finding them at some point. They are the ultimate enablers of this nightmare.

There should be more love songs for, like, libraries. And cheese. And people who stay calm when bad things happen.

This goof ball. He needs more toys, yeah?

My old timer porn name is Patchy Drizzle.

I grew mini butternut squashes this year and they are adorable.

They are building a senior living facility across the street from my house and I cannot wait to start a collection of wanderers.

My biggest issue with Tylenol is that it doesn't really work for me but the same is true for boba & you don't see me out there trying to keep anyone else from enjoying it

2025 made telling jokes incredibly difficult. Some jokes got you deported. Some jokes got you fired and everything else just stopped being funny to people.

Just blocked someone who really likes Aerosmith. Feeling pretty good about that.

I feel like there should be more vegetables in pies. Why do pumpkins get all the attention?
