Started a painting for today's #septempera but didn't finish it in time so day 04 is this quick chicken sketch.

#rip Mort Todd -- or as I knew him, Mike. During my time living in NYC he was one of my closest friends. Loyal, generous, brilliant, and funny af. Politically we couldn't have been more different, but that never mattered. He was always there for me. #morttodd

Well, he left out quite a few writers, including me, but I appreciate the sentiment.
