My little demons are acting up.

As I teach myself more particularly about light and depth, I like to revisit things where I stand by my initial concept and apply my new learnings. Plus I have two art markets coming up in the next few months. and I’d prefer to hold my head high with my creepy critters and killer clowns.

Just a normal week night occurrence around these parts.

Can’t argue with this.

“Turkey vulture: The bird that vomits acid up to 10 feet and poops antiseptic onto its legs. Turkey vultures deter predators by projectile vomiting gastric juices as acidic as battery acid that burns their attacker's skin and eyes.” 🖤🖤🖤

Best metaphysical question I’ve seen pondered in the ladies room, in quite some time.

Today I learned that there are three flavors of Cassowary: the southern cassowary, the northern cassowary, and tbe dwarf cassowary. I also learned that the northern cassowaries and I are most similar in size, with the female southerns out-sizing me. All four of us pack a nasty kick.

Today I learned that you can ascertain the mood of a male Wild Turkey by the color of their head. A happy gobbler will exhibit a blue head. An angry or stressed tom’s head will turn red. Per Wikipedia: “Turkeys will occasionally forage with deer and squirrels, and may even play with them.”

Tuesday night plans.

We all have our own internal monsters born out of the worst parts of our individual experiences. Some of these monsters represent our most damaged selves and some of these monsters are there to protect us even if they do so in a misguided way. Apparently I’m not done exploring my monsters.

One last monster.

Happy World Lizard Day. This is a monster, this is not a lizard.

I’m feeling monstrous.

Spicier than a can of deviled ham.

Continuing with my demonic exorcise.

My muse.

Front yard scene report.

Sounds like an excellent plan!

Done darn sketched me a bear.

Baby alligators are very cute.

I like crabs.

Faintly redolent of dust and mold, with base notes of cat pee and isolation.* *Today’s targeted product advertisement.

After many months of ignoring it, I finally finished. “My Small Demons”. 18 x 24”. Mixed Media on cradleboard.

Alligators just want some fish, the occasional turtle or the wayward poodle to munch upon. Alligators have no interest in you, your death camps, or your environmental destruction. Alligators simply want a nice sunny bank to bask upon (& a murky swamp to bellow in when they’re feeling randy.) 🐊 🐊🐊

A self-portrait I recently completed.

Now dontcha be goin an blowin nuthin off today, y’all hear? It’s the 4th and the US is acting extra-special, stupid this year. The warning feels appropriate.

Came home from the grocery store this evening only to discover this guy waiting for me and my dry kibble handouts, a pileated woodpecker up in a tree yelling, and a large black racer (type of snek) basking by the front door.

There were bees, lots and lots of bees. 🐝

Florida has something like ninety native reptiles including two crocodilians, the American Alligator & the American Crocodile (who tend to stick it out in South Florida.)The American crocodile is unique in its willingness to commingle with alligators. Anyway I sketched an American crocodile.

Yesterday’s feel-like was 102 degrees Fahrenheit. This was a serious improvement.

One of the nicest compliments I have ever received.

New greeting card designs!

Tightrope Walker.

This is a hammerhead shark. I’ve never bothered trying to draw a shark before. The great, late Dr. Eugenie Clark must be spinning in her grave. @bruceshark.bsky.social please forgive this travesty against your people.

In the early half of the 90s some friends and I were asked to leave a diy punk show because we wouldn’t stop making fun of the overly earnest band of white emo boys on stage faux sobbing “I’m white. I’m male. I’m an oppressor.” Some days this place reminds me of that show….

New design for upcoming greeting cards.

Last night’s spectacular views.

Teeny tiny 2” stretchies.

Awk awk awkawkawkawk awk!

I can personally attest that DJ Kitty smells something fierce and I too would put up a blocking wing (hand) of warning.

I too once was a teenage, Florida predatory stink bug.

We don’t deserve baby bears. 🖤🖤🖤

Went to NYC for the weekend. Ate several bagels and found my people.

It’s been a remarkably frustrating thirty-six hours. Calgon, I mean Satan take me away.

Bonerz.

I tried to make something a normal person might enjoy. Ink on paper.

Ironic thing is I actually happen to like snakes quite a bit…
