Been listing to Angine de Poitrine lately and I had to draw them!

It's Khn and Klek from their KEXP performance!

Happy Year of the Horse, everyone!! 🐎 May all your new year's resolutions come true, unless they're terrible or evil or something.

A horse madly galloping towards camera. A little character with 2026 glasses and champagne hangs on for dear life.

"Early Bird Special" Last piece of the year!

A bird with a worm about to be eaten by an alligator. A second larger bird with a dead lizard in its mouth watches from the top of a weathered column.

Four wacky vehicles inspired by the 2020 Inktober prompts "fish", "wisp", "bulky", and "radio". I got half way through Radio and stopped working on it for five years, as I am wont to do.

An octopus driving a car filled with water, like a reverse submarine. A little fish swims arond in the car. Inktober prompt was "fish".

A furry witch creature is carrying a butterfly net and riding a bicycle. She has several jars of glowing wisps in the back basket. Her path is also illuminated by a grinning wisp suspended at the front of the bicycle. Inktober prompt was "wisp".

A goblin explorer is piloting a large, bulky mech. There is an ornate colorful looking butterfly at the end of the mech's finger. A jaunty little quadruped robot attached to the mech by a wire trails behind. Inktober prompt was "bulky".

An engineer pilots a small nineteenth century steam engine. Panicking, he yells into an elaborate radio as he applies the breaks. The bridge in front of him appears to be on the verge of collapse. Inktober prompt was "radio".

I designed a little Amazing Digital Circus guy with their kidpix inspired drawing program. Maybe I'll use him in something, you know, eventually. #TADCFriend

Image of my little character drawn in the "Caine Paint" browser drawing program, found on thewackywatch.com

It's Heartly, my Amazing Digital Circus OC. He looks like the tin man with a wind up key and a rubber duck on his head. He has a heart on his metal chest, hence the name Heartly.

Ad for Adobe (ew) I saw on Facebook (ew) and my fix.

Original ad. An AI generated giraffe. Text reads, "Creativity gone wild."

Revised ad. Same dumb AI generated giraffe. Text now reads, "Creativity gone."

Three characters with pun names and iconic catchphrases: Film Noir, Rush Hour, Bruise Easily.

Phil Noir standing on a street corner. His catchphrase is, "Yeah, I don't give a rat's ass".

Russ Haur stuck in traffic. His catchphrase is, "Outta my way, BOZO!".

Bruce E. Slee about to slip on a banana peel. His catchphrase is,"Eyy, What's the big deal?".

A bird on a penny farthing? How absurd! He owes the IRS over fifty thousand dollars in back taxes.

hello friends, i'm hoping to get a vgen code to do art/vtuber rigging commissions but i gotta get 20 rts and 100 likes on this post, if you wouldn't mind helping me out? or if anyone i know has a code to share that would be very kind! my art tag is #hvart! vgen.co/hospitalvesp... #VGenCode

An image with a yellow background, featuring the same vtuber model 4 times in a lineup. They are an astronaut with a big puffy white coat, orange leggings, and big boots. They have white and black fluffy hair. The first version is standing smiling with a little mascot that looks like a 3 eyed floating sea bunny. The second is the character drawing on a transparent floating tablet. The third is the character concentrating and holding a game controller, with a pair of goggles on. The fourth is the character without the big coat on, revealing orange, grey, and white overalls and a dark grey t-shirt. The text on the image says

A background of the interior of a space shuttle, looking out into space. The far background is a pink, purple, and blue galaxy with a big backlit planet in the centre. Inside the space shuttle there is a console with several monitors, a little radio and a pot of flowers, some headphones on a computer tower, and a bunch of wires.

A gray firbolg character with medium length hair. She is wearing a lot of green and purple robes with flower detailing, and is frolicking in a little patch of grass with a giant campanula flower behind her. She belongs to @bailierosenlund.bsky.social‬!

A unicorn character with long, braided moss green hair. They are on a white background facing away from the camera, but with their head tilted back to look at you. There's a big floaty transparent white scarf flying around the canvas. I forget why I did that but I still think it looks pretty neat.

Saw "The Legend of Ochi" yesterday! A must-see, especially if you like old-school filmmaking techniques and 80s fantasy adventure movies!

Yuri and baby Ochi trek through the mountains. Art Deco style

The other day, a terrible vision came to me in a dream, a pun so cursed I was compelled to bring it forth into existence. Behold: Skibidi-Doo!

It's America's favorite cartoon dog, Skibidi Doo! An unholy mashup of Skibidi Toilet and Scooby Doo.

9 years ago, when the first Inside Out was released, I was inspired to draw some secondary emotions: Boredom, Existential Dread, and Shadenfreude. Now that Inside Out 2 is here, I thought I'd take another crack at Shadenfreude! #insideout2 #shadenfreude

Hey, does anyone remember this show? I'm pretty sure it's lost media now. Dimbus Max has been defunct since 2018, and I can't find it anywhere else!

Since it's April Fool's Day I thought I'd share my Spongebob animation cell from Fools in April! I also have a cell from Rock Bottom and an animation drawing from Ripped Pants. Prized possessions, haha!

Two cartoon Hearts made of puzzle pieces. They are both mirroring each other, placing the last piece of their partner in place. Text reads, "We complete each other!"

A cartoon heart in a garbage can holding a valentine. Text reads, "I'm at your disposal, Valentine"

An enthusiastic cartoon heart stands in front of a large factory with smokestacks. Text reads, "I enjoy your company!"

On Bluesky what's old is new! Drew this a few months ago for one of those "draw this in your style" thingies. It's based on a piece called "Emily's Forest" by Sarah Kieley (magicnarwhal). You can see more of her fantastic work here: linktr.ee/Magicalnarwh...
