"Bluetick Hound Thinks You're Sus" Day 41 of #the100dayproject features everyone's favorite judgy hound: Lulu! Mixed Media on weird paper - that's not a typo, the paper was weird. Big thanks to @ravenmae.bsky.social for the name, which is still making me laugh. 😂❤️ #UglyDogs #Art #IMadeThis

👀 #uglydogs

Day 40 of #the100dayproject - an online tutorial from Let's Make Art (artist Sarah Cray) which I was dying to try because it looked so amazing! I ran into several challenges but overall I love how it turned out, I learned a lot, and there's still more to learn!

Also this was actually Day 39, soooo... 😂

Day 38 of #the100dayproject included playing with new paints, new brushes, and trying out different techniques mainly focused on flowers. I'm planning to do more tutorials and also perhaps to focus on smaller areas. Mixed media, watercolors, pens #art #imadethis #watercolor #flowers

For the record, I did complete Day 38 of #the100dayproject, but it is downstairs and I am upstairs so I'll share it tomorrow. I also finished my first commission! No idea where this is all headed, but enjoying the ride. ❤️

Day 37 of #the100dayproject - a pop art take on @muppybean.bsky.social's Syvie! Today's challenge included a limited color palette, complementary colors, and not getting *too* focused on details. Watercolors, ink pens, acrylic pens #Dogsky #Art #IMadeThis #UglyDogs

The anatomy of a Friday afternoon. I'm Lulu's case, explicitly. The part where Jimmy tries to call her out, though? Optimistic. Hilarious. Unsuccessful. 😂😂😂 #UglyDogs #dogsky #rescuedogs #friyay

Day 36 of #the100dayproject - playing with new, vibrant paints and new, deeply intimidating paper. (You may need to click for the full image.) Mixed media: watercolors, inks, acrylic pens #Art #IMadeThis #Watercolors

Blair will be reading The Day Leap Soared for Indie Bookstore Day April 25 at 10:30am CST so register, then gather round the kids & pups. We’ll be drawing 5 Zoom attendees to receive free copies. honestdogbooks.com/events/47732...

No joke, @honestdogbooks.bsky.social are THE BEST. ❤️

Day 35 of #the100DayProject Watercolors! #IMadeThis #Art #WatercolorPainting

🦈 IS ALSO SYVIES BIRFDAYS!! DOING GIVVIES WOULD MAKES ME HAPPIES TOO!! 🦈

For my birthday (today!) I'm doing a fundraiser for The Trevor Project on Facebook. Here I'd love it if you might consider supporting @seakelpie.bsky.social or @solexposure.bsky.social - both great humans who are part of the amazingly kind #uglydogs community. Many thanks, friends! ❤️

If you know me, you’ll know I much rather prefer to send out something for any money coming in. But right now, I need help. Although, I’d still like to send little or a lot of gifts in return. www.paypal.com/paypalme/sol...

#UglyDogs it’s tight for everyone and the future is uncertain. But if you can spare a bit, Sol works multiple jobs very diligently and Montana continues to be so expensive. Help a little if you can, please.

Day 34 of #the100dayproject - pupper with a teal nose Watercolors, ink pens, pencil Based on a drawing by Karen Campbell #UglyDogs

#Awooo for the beans! ❤️❤️❤️ #UglyDogs

An AWOOOO for this bean. ❤️ We miss all the beans today, their birthday. Together again with Refried, singing away... #uglydogs

#AWOOO AWOOO for sweetest Hari, who absolutely did not do anything fatal to any bees. Probably. Regardless, Hari was absolutely magical and wise. I hope she found our pups who have crossed the rainbow bridge and is having adventures! #UglyDogs

Day 33 of #the100dayproject Not gonna lie, I've been struggling with art for the past couple of days. Like nothing I make works for me. I finally finished this sheep just to finish, but not thrilled with it either (sorry sheep!). Watercolor + ink pens

Day 32 of #the100dayproject - purple coneflowers! Kind of! Are they currently blooming? They are not! But sometimes you just go with the flow. Watercolors + ink #watercolors #flowers #IMadeThis

Actual footage of me as a tulip. #SomeAssemblyRequired

Reminder that this is happening on Friday, #uglydogs.

I feel like fashion-forward side-eye is a niche that this sweet pupper OWNS. #sideeye #rarepupper #dogsky

I continue to stand with trans family, friends, neighbors, and community members. And I agree: trans people deserve more than visibility. They deserve to live their lives fully. They deserve to thrive. Trans rights are human rights. #tdov

Oh hey, did someone request #sideye? Because Lulu's side-eye game is robust. Here are several different options: #UglyDogs

#uglydogs Are any of you hiring a bioinformatics pro, or know of remote opportunities for one? A dear friend of mine got laid off and I’ve said, “I am tapped into a wildly helpful community of dog people, let’s see if that helps.”

Well, well, well, look at the peas and carrots on this morning's walk! At least here at the very end, like a minute from the house. 😂 #AllDogs #WagWagWag #BestDay #UglyDogs

Day 31 of #The100DayProject Watercolors + ink

Also, this feels a bit awkward to say, but for those of you who have watched and loved the team for years, if we ever cross paths somewhere other than social media, PLEASE introduce yourself. I consider you a friend (even if you're a lurker)! We have shared this adventure together. ❤️

I'm so happy that Lulu doesn't have opposable thumbs and is not on social media so she couldn't gain inspiration from Charlie's list. 🤣🤣🤣

So perhaps a little too unhinged? 😂 I had some leftover paint and did a little experiment today, but tell Charlie not to worry - I'll try again soon in the other style. 💚💚💚 @minnesotagirl.bsky.social

Day 30 of #the100DayChallenge has me longing for the sun, sand, and sea. I mean I know it's going to be in the 80s later this week but I'm dreaming of coastal breezes and the sound of rustling palm fronds. Art markers + ink pens #IMadeThis #Art

"Are you writing in Dutch?" 🤣🤣🤣 #UglyDogs

*squeeeeeeeeeeeee* inhale *eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee* #UglyDogs

Today I finally put my "tell your dog I said hi" sticker on the car. I faithfully followed the instructions, cleaned the surface, removed the backing, carefully lined it up and WHOOSH a blast of wind caught it and so the placement is slightly off-kilter which honestly fits. #UglyDogs ❤️

Trying something new for Day 29 of #the100dayproject - pulled out some art markers and started playing! So the funny thing about these markers is I'm not familiar with them AT ALL, so the colors end up being a bit of a surprise. Also the scribbling? SO CATHARTIC. Art markers + ink pen

Day 28 of #the100dayproject is a birb. I need to get out of my own head after yesterday's whatever it was. 😂 Watercolor, ink, pencils plus this is the first time I tried a splatter. The fact it did not transform this image into CSI: Birb Edition is a win I will accept.

I say the same about this community online who love dogs and stories and art and adventure, and have showed again+again what is POSSIBLE in this world when people share kindness openly. You inspire me every day and have taught me about human goodness in the most beautiful ways. #uglydogs

Oh HELL no. Nope nope nope. ALL of the no, like every single piece of no in the entire universe. Speaking of, WTF, UNIVERSE?!?! Literally the only thing that allowed me to pause to take the photo was the fact it wasn't raining. Of note, this was in the middle school bus loop parking lot.

Day 26 of #the100daychallenge was another attempt at capturing Jimmy, this time avec more sass. His whisker game is objectively unparalleled. We call this his Kermit the Frog expression. Getting better, still a lot to learn. 💚 Watercolor, ink, pencils #Art #dogsky #IMadeThis #uglydogs

Day 25 of #the100dayproject went a little sideways, but that happens sometimes when you're not feeling 100%. The paper was definitely not up to multiple layers of paint, although today I did let them dry in between. 😬 You would not even believe me if I tried to explain how this started.

Day 24 of #the100dayproject was inspired by a willow tree I saw earlier today, new buds swirling in the breeze. It maybe it's leaves dreaming of spring. Watercolor, ink pen, acrylic pen #Art #IMadeThis

Day 23 of #the100dayproject was a meditation with watercolor and ink pen #Art #watercolors #IMadeThis

The best!!! 😍❤️🥰🎉

Day 22 of #the100dayproject features the fabulous extravagance that is undisputedly Lulu. Watercolors, ink pens, sharpie #Art #IMadeThis #UglyDogs

Thank you all so much to your incredible kindness in your responses to story. I'm so moved and overwhelmed; I took some time offline yesterday with Pepé, so my apologies if I haven't responded, but please know that I have read every note and it means the world.

#UglyDogs into Iditarod history—this is your chance!

Finally, Day 21, we get to All Dogs! Here's sweet Jimmy from Kuwait, grinning for the camera. 🥰 I learned a lot today, so I'm sure you'll be seeing other iterations of this technique and others. Watercolor + colored pencils + ink pen #the100dayproject #UglyDoga #Watercolor #wagwagwag
