I edited a photo of a plush Popeye into Pupeye! Here’s how, with some delightful accompaniment by Phoebe Sanders Banjo #timelapse #procreate

House commission! Yep, I don’t just do portraits of pets and people. Speaking of, the latest ai portrait trend makes me sad. #art #commissionsopen #housedrawing #supporthumanartists

Dave the dramatic cat whose immense suffering is chronicled by indoor_outdoor_kat. #cartoon #cats #pets

Commission for @toonheadsfanatic.bsky.social featuring the Bootle and his adversary.

The process behind my newest painting “Peep and the Big Wide World.” #art #painting #watercolor #bird #birdart #paintwithme #smallartist

I was going to just post the remaining two pictures in this series, but I figured why not just collect all four together in one place? @laurelandhardy.bsky.social #laurelandhardy #stanandollie #art #cartoon #frogs

Episode 2 of Laurel and Hardy frogs! This idea came about because of a particular image in the book Collecting Laurel and Hardy where I thought they looked rather frog-like. #laurelandhardy #stanlaurel #oliverhardy #frog #vintageinspired #cartoon #art

Laurel and Hardy frogs, part 1 of 4, to celebrate Oliver Hardy’s birthday today #laurelandhardy #stanlaurel #oliverhardy #frogs #vintageinspired #art #cartoon

Born 18th January 1892, Happy Birthday Ollie. "The world is full of Laurel and Hardys... There's always the dumb, dumb guy, who never has anything bad happen to him, and the smart guy who's even dumber than the dumb guy, only he doesn't know it"-Oliver N. Hardy #laurelandhardy

My absolute favorite moment from Popeye cartoons

Happy 97th birthday Popeye! I gave his first appearance the Pupeye twist, featuring Castor Owl, Ram Gravy, and Bernice the Whiffle Hen. #pupeyethesailormutt #popeye #popeyefanart #thimbletheater #ecsegar

“Peep and the Big Wide World” Watercolor and colored pencil, 21.5x16” Last summer I photographed what I think was a young Eastern Kingbird at my favorite lake. I had been wanting to paint it ever since! #art #painting #watercolor #easternkingbird #birdart

I usually get commissioned for pets, family members, etc, but this time I got asked to draw a young Jack Benny! #jackbenny #thejackbennyprogram #classiccomedy #oldcomedians #cartoon #art

A little thank you gift for friends of my family. #art #cartoon #watercolor #simplewatercolor #cartoonportrait

Most of my pet portrait subjects look pretty happy, which makes an assignment like this all the more refreshing. #art #cat #funnycat #cartoon #cartooncat #petcommission

Thank you to Will for this idea

More from my batch of Christmas commissions! #dog #cartoon #art #cartoonpet #cartoonportrait #petcommission #petportrait

I don’t get as many commissions for realistic cat portraits, so this was a fun one! #petportrait #cat #catportrait #digitalpainting #art

Ever since I learned that in many countries it’s a tradition to watch an old comedy sketch called “Dinner For One” on New Year’s Eve, I have made it a tradition too. #dinnerforone #freddiefrinton #sameprocedureaslastyear #art #cartoon #newyearseve

Merry Christmas from Pupeye and (most of) the gang! I found this comic from 1966 and had to redraw it with even more characters. Debuting here are my versions of Oscar (Ottscar the otter) and King Blozo (King Goazo the goat). #pupeyethesailormutt #popeye #popeyethesailor #comics #cartoon

Concluding the Pupeye ornament redraws, here’s Wimpig! I do actually own the Wimpy ornament this is based on. #pupeyethesailormutt #popeye #popeyewimpy #jwellingtonwimpy #pig #art #cartoon

Another Popeye Christmas ornament redraw with Olive Owl. #pupeyethesailormutt #popeye #oliveoyl #art #cartoon

art trade for my friend @megantheartoonist.bsky.social #artwork

Beginning a series of Pupeye and friends celebrating Christmas! This is based on a Popeye ornament from Carlton Cards in 1998. #pupeyethesailormutt #popeye #popeyethesailorman #art #cartoon

Another cartoon published in the latest issue of Sylvania Advantage! Featuring the return of my creation from last year, Peppermint Bark the minty mutt. I had fun designing all the little candy elements on these characters. #christmas #christmascookies #gingerbread #dog #cartoon #art

The latest dog breed fad. Can you hear this image and the Muttley laugh? #doodles #doodledog #poodle #goldendoodle #labradoodle #snickerdoodle #muttley #hannabarbara

Miss Gladys Ormphbeak, that bland buzzard of Beautiful Downtown Birdbank. #art #cartoon #ruthbuzzi #classiccomedy #classictv #rowanandmartinslaughin #gladysormphby #cartoon #vintage #1960s #1970s #vulture #buzzard

The Tree Lab Trio book 2, Nature’s Needs, is coming soon! Here is a look at our new character, Einstein the dog! #treelabtrio #childrensbooks #kidlit #scienceforkids

Another vintage Halloween song that is probably more obscure. “The Martian Hop” by The Ran Dells is not that scary though, because it’s about the Martians being kind enough to throw a dance party for us humans. #art #cartoon #themartianhop #martians #aliens #gnarpgnarp #halloween #noveltysongs

One-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater, sure looked strange to me! #art #cartoon #purplepeopleeater #halloween #halloweensongs #halloweenmusic #purple #monster

Pupeye and Olive Owl! Drawn from a publicity photo of Robin and Shelley for the 1980 movie. #art #cartoon #pupeyethesailormutt #popeye #oliveoyl

The invasive (in the US) spotted lanternfly. See it? SQUASH IT! #spottedlanternfly #slf #invasivespecies

Made a few tweaks and additions to my Pupeye cast! #pupeyethesailormutt #popeye #art #cartoon #redesign

Some mo’ Mo. What he lacks in range of facial expressions, he makes up for in hand gestures, including using his hands to shovel food into his mouth! #frog #africanclawedfrog #clawedfrog #frogart #cartoon #pets

Say, who is this latest little critter in my little sketchbook? This is my new pet African Clawed Frog, Clawed Monet- but you can call him Mo! #frog #africanclawedfrog #clawedfrog #frogart #frogdrawing #sketchbook #coloredpencil #coloredpencilsketch
