#uglydogs LFG

#UglyDogs see below. @pseudelight.ink said she can build you a different site for your link tree.

No sales yet. I *have got* to keep a roof over these two’s heads, plus their two kitty siblings. Just one day left.

Day 72 of #the100dayproject veered into an entirely unexpected direction as I picked up the guitar for the first time in far too long and started playing, singing, and *checks notes* writing?!?! I've written exactly one song - about Legos, on a bet - so I'm about to double my catalog. #songwriting

#uglyDogs we need a mournful awoooo for a very best dug named @blazespage.bsky.social He did more living in 14yrs than most of us do in a lifetime. AaarrrrrrroooOOOOOOOooo

Day 71 of #the100dayproject was hard fought and (mostly) won. I'm loving the long, stringy tentacles and the background wash. - Watercolors with just a little acrylic pen work - From a Let's Make Art tutorial #Jellyfish #Watercolor

This was just announced for October 3rd: Power to the People festival at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD! In addition to incredible music, Freedom Village will connect folks with non-profits and artists! More info here: powertothepeoplefest.com #ColumbiaMD #Maryland #HoCoMD

Day #69 of #the100dayproject is an atmospheric tutorial from #letsgomakeart and #sarahdandelioncray - I really loved this one (even though I didn't have any of the suggested colors). Learning a lot about paint values and brush techniques.

Day 68 of #the100dayproject is mixed-media created by splattering #danielsmithwatercolors on #cansonwatercolorpaper then teasing out the flowers. I added some flourishes and details using ink and acrylic pens.

New! A smaller (8x8) print of Part 2 from my Controlled Burn series. Looks great in a 10x10 or 12x12 frame! www.sol-exposure.com/product/cont...

Day 67 of #the100dayproject is a visit to my happy place. “For whatever we lose(like a you or a me) it’s always ourselves we find in the sea” - ee cummings #danielsmithwatercolors #IMadeThis #poetry

Today I took a picture of a rock while I was walking Lulu because - I'm not making this up - it reminded me of the pet rock I had as a child. So Frodo, wherever you are, I hope you're living your very best rock life! You know, if anyone was wondering how things are going.

Lulu and I are totally here for it.

#UglyDogs please call, daily if you can. After hours it’s just a voicemail. Find your rep on 5calls.org, don’t know if they have a script up yet. If leaving a message give your address to prove you’re a constituent. Brief is fine.❤️

Took Lulu and Jimmy on a walk together this morning before things got too hot. This was Lulu's "after" photo. And by "too hot" I mean my car registered it as 111⁰F here in central Maryland at 4pm. At no point did I sign up for 111⁰F, to be crystal clear. #UglyDogs #DogSky #Houndsky

Day 64 of #the100dayproject - I love dandelion clocks, so when I saw this tutorial I was so excited! And none of it worked the way I wanted it to. Which is frustrating, because there were a ton of steps. But it's all good, because I have an idea about what I'll do differently next time. 💛🧡🤍

Lulu channeling her inner Alexis Rose. See if you can spot her "Ew David" response to Jimmy's zoomies. #UglyDogs #SchittsCreek #RescueHound #DogSky

Day 63 of #the100dayproject was a little housekeeping chore I've been meaning to do with my new paints/paper: swatching everything! 1/4

Day 84 The 100 Day Project #dothe100dayproject #the100dayproject

Day 62 of #the100DayProject - having a little fun with digital art. This was created using ArtRage, my hands down favorite art app. If you've visited my blog and seen some of my illustrations? ArtRage. "Lulu With a Pearl Earring" #Hounds #Art #Vermeer #UglyDogs #DogSky

Day 61 of #the100DayProject Watercolors + pens

Rolling Around in the Backyard, Failing to Engage Your Brother in Playtime, Looking Offended, Shaking it Off, then Staring Keenly Off Into the Distance: A Lulu Production Her expression when Jimmy just walks away 😂😂😂 #UglyDogs #DogSky #Hounds

I have very little of this soft, linen-like handmade paper left at this larger size (8x12 approx). I think it’s magic w/ the square color studies. If you’d like to request a color scheme, I have a couple more I can make.

Four 4.5x6 sumi ink paintings available! Lovely little details in each, & each shines in the sun w/ metallic undertones. Name your own price w/ 25% going to a nonprofit or GFM of your choice! (Also happy to frame.)

Hahahaha, perfection!!!

With many thanks to @jordansbrock.bsky.social for the inspiration. 😂😂😂 #Dogs #Dogsky #Hounds #UglyDogs

This is art. This is the modern equivalent of Girl with a Pearl Earring. This should be hanging in a museum. Also GIVE HER TREATS, YOU MONSTER.

Lulu would like to speak to the manager about the woefully insufficient Treat-to-Lulu ratio currently unfolding somewhere in central Maryland. #UglyDogs #Hounds #DogSky

Day 60 of #the100DayProject was a failed attempt at a moody landscape. Is it a landscape? Sure. Is it moody? I mean *parts* of it are moody? 😂 Watercolors. That's it, just watercolors.

Day #58 of #the100dayproject - practicing background washes and playing with q-tips as brushes #Watercolors #danielsmithwatercolors

Day 57 of #the100DayProject Watercolors + ink

Day 59 of #the100DayProject was inspired by the sea, sea glass, and... trees?! Watercolors + acrylic ink pens #Art #Doodles #IMadeThis

The ephemera of puddles captivates me. The first I saw on a walk with Jimmy. A short time later Lulu and I took the same walk with a very different view. #Photography #Puddles #Reflections

Lulu, taking full advantage of the front room skylights, achieves the perfect Lulu to Sunshine ratio. #Dogsky #BluetickHound #UglyDogs

Day 56 of #the100dayproject taught our protagonist a lot about pacing when opting to attempt wet on wet watercolors, ways to use buff titanium, and the benefits of certain brush types for leaves. I also learned that there's a black paint called neutral tint. Wild. #watercolor #Art #IMadeThis

I’m very excited to announce my new podcast! I'll be telling true stories of survival, starting with the story of Ada Blackjack, who was stranded for two years in the high Arctic. If you subscribe now to What to Carry, What to Burn on your fav podcast app, you’ll get the first episodes on May 12!

Day 55 of #the100DayProject

Day 54 of #the100dayproject is my personal favorite duck of all time: Darth Kermit. When Jimmy joined our family in 2017, we started daily walks (something none of our previous dogs were into AT ALL). We ended up meeting The Ducks. 1/7 #Storytime #maythe4th #Ducks

Also found smol frens during today's walk, despite Lulu (she was actually quiet!). The photos are blurry because we were pretty far away. We saw two adorable kits and then Mama showed up so we left so as not to stress anyone out. #UglyDogs

Not sure who needs a video of Lulu flopping and rolling in the grass then standing up and performing The Dramatic Flapping of the Ears along with a long camera gaze at the end, but here you go! Cameo appearance by Jimmy. 😂 #UglyDogs #DogSky #RescueDogs

The baby finches hatched and are now kicking leaves all over the yard and they're just the cutest smol birbs ever. 🥹 So Lulu will be on a leash until they take off to avoid a repeat of an incident from two years ago that we'll simply refer to here as Cheep Cheep *CRONCH* OMG LULU NOOOooo! #uglydogs

Day 52 of #the100dayproject is a sketch of the Maryland State flower. They're not in bloom yet, but we have them popping up all over the front yard and once they do the finches will immediately claim them as their own. 😂 ❤️🖤🤍💛

Day 51 of #the100dayproject is a photo of this kohlrabi leaf, living its best life on a rainy day in a native plant nursery here in Maryland. ❤️🤍💛🖤
