My dad fronted a 1960’s beat band in Antwerp, Belgium. They released two singles, but no copies remain. What did survive is his mic, PR shoot photos, and his cartoons from every bandmate and his rock idols. Full story below:

Tipper spotted a squirrel and is fully committed to tree-climbing. Despite obvious limitations, he refuses to give up. 🐿️🐾

Finishing up the week with a sketchy coffee club meetup at a local cafe. #sketching #meetup #illustration

Sketchbook open on a café table showing a red and blue pencil drawing of a koala clinging to a branch and a kingfisher head study labeled “Kingfisher.” A cappuccino with heart-shaped latte art sits beside the sketchbook, along with glasses, a jar of coffee beans, and a rolled wafer cookie.

Happy Monday from Tipper! Enjoying the Clackamas River this past weekend.

Tipper resting ahead of a busy weekend, giving me his “why is that camera in my face” look. Yep, he’s not a fan of having his picture taken. How about your dog?

Close-up of a scruffy gray, black, and tan dog lying on a shaggy beige round dog bed, resting his chin on his paw. He has a white blaze down his forehead, brown eyes looking up at the camera, and a slightly wary expression.

Rabbit studies turned into these two. Meet Mops and Hops 🐰

Watercolor pencil illustration of two rabbits side by side on white paper, held in hand. The rabbit on the left is smaller and rounder with shorter upright ears, done in warm golden-brown tones. The rabbit on the right is larger with two tall ears, alert dark eyes, and a mix of golden, rust, and darker brown fur. Signed “Bibiche ’26” in the bottom right corner.

New Brittany base: Morbihan. Île-aux-Moines yesterday: oysters, megaliths and coastal hiking.

Beautiful sunset on the Brittany coast. Thoroughly enjoying my visit to this region.

The bus knows its priorities. “Even Pauze”… everyone needs a coffee break now and then. ☕🇧🇪

Made it to Belgium after a 5 hour delay. First stop: mussels and rosé at an estate café in golden hour light. Worth it.

Three months on Substack. Honest check-in: the euphoria is real, the unsustainable pace is realer, and the art supply shop remains a hazard. New post on what actually worked, what didn’t, and eleven things I’d tell myself at day one. #Reinvention #CreativeLife #Illustration

First time at Haystack Rock at low tide. Starfish, sea stars, tide pools everywhere. Tipper loved it.

A scruffy black and white terrier mix sits on wet sand at Cannon Beach, Oregon, nose tilted up toward the overcast sky. A teal leash is visible. Behind him, two clusters of dark mussels sit on the sand near a shallow tide pool with purple starfish, with two people standing in the background near the waterline.

First acrylic ink painting. Been wanting to try this for a while.

A small painting of a forest interior using acrylic ink. Dark tree trunks rise vertically against a silvery-blue background of layered leaves and branches. The forest floor is rendered in deep brown and black. A soft pearlescent shimmer runs through the foliage.

Eating my way through a living color wheel. The vibrant green vs. orange petals and the glowing, warm stone-fruit hues are instant palette inspiration. Who says art study can’t happen at the dinner table? 🎨🍽️

Vintage Flor (my dad!). Bean characters with serious attitude. Reminds me of M&M’s mascots, but angrier.

Black and white ink cartoon of three bean-shaped characters with antennae and the letter “B” on their bodies, gathered around a can labeled “Spina.” One character is being launched out of the can’s open lid with raised fists.

Best way to beat the Pacific Northwest heat wave: go to Seattle to meet friends from Arizona. They thought it was pretty cool here. MoPoP (Museum of Pop Culture) followed by sunset on Alki Beach. Turns out it has its own mini Statue of Liberty.
