Roller dragon and basically everything else from "Unico in the Island of Magic", a movie I was first terrorized by at 3, but nobody else in my family remembered it so for years they said I made it up.

I also once attempted to make a retrofuture-inspired space opera where the main character had an alien buddy and there was a one eyed alien and a femme fatale.

Telling myself no I don’t need another productivity tool, I need to actually do the things I’m not productivity-ing

I wonder what the overlap of people who plastered american flags all over their stuff after 9/11 and people who are maga twits now is. most likely a circle.

Saying goodbye to my beloved son Otto tomorrow, he spent 13 of his 14.5 years with us and that’s more than I could have hoped for 💔

You know, I keep saying I’m going to get my shit together, but at this point it’s been over 20 years I don’t know if its gonna happen. Oh well.

The first group of baby bunnies left their nest this morning and I found this one in the evening trying very hard to hide under the wheelbarrow

A very tiny baby bunny. He looks grouchy because I discovered his super secret hiding spot. He is less than one apple tall.

I got a new iPad in May and I can’t get my clip studio workspace set up how I like it and everything feels microscopically off and it’s driving me nuts so I haven’t drawn on it at all

the gentle woodland creatures of my backyard have decided that Otto is no longer a threat. The rabbits remain unperturbed by his presence.

I genuinely feel bad every time i walk by my dog and he gets up and follows me bc i know its a bit hard for him these days. you don't have to herd me anymore bro, it's okay.

What do you mean you’re good at making art AND you’re good at talking to people? Seems kind of unfair, I’m just saying.

Busy Squirrel @busysquirrel.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

New goal: make art and post it here sometimes

Sometimes being an artist is moving small quantities of paint around on a surface very slightly for 4 hours
