Happy first day of autumn! A couple of years ago, for just a minute, I was thinking about getting into stained glass. I drew the first draft of this concept and then promptly remembered I already have way too many hobbies. #halloween2026 #scarecrow #stainedglass #autumnequinox
Illustration of a scarecrow with pumpkin head reaching out to the viewer. A purple sky with glowing moon in the background. Green toxic fog in foreground. All drawn in a faux stained glass, very geometric, style.

We have reached that point in the gardening season - instead of bragging to ourselves about how healthy we are eating and how much money we are saving, we are calculating how many more green beans we have to eat before we can order pizza.

Nobody wants this. Polling shows that Americans want to protect public lands, and certainly don't want data centers built on them.

It's that time of year again - the Over the Garden Wall theme is playing on repeat in my Insta thread and in my head. Now I can post this crossover illustration that I've been picking away at. #overthegardenwall #hellboy #fanart
Greg from Over the Garden Wall holding Hellboy's hand as they walk through the woods in the dark - illuminated by a hand held lantern. The dark silhouette of The Beast is visible in the mist in the background.

A sketchy little painting of a habañero that I grew. It looked just like a little flame (an example of warning mimicry among a domesticated plant?). Then I ate it. It kicked my a$$.

I was randomly thinking to myself yesterday, "Human batteries make no sense. In The Matrix, it would have been better if the computers were keeping humans as some sort of organic computer/neutral network." My hypothetical is one step closer to reality.

Felt like drawing the kids from Spider-Man in anticipation of seeing Brand New Day. We were supposed to go this morning, but one of the cats threw a diarrhea party, so we ended up staying home (and catching up in the garden). #spiderman #tomholland #zendaya #jacobbatallon #fanart
Caricatures of the three main characters from the new Marvel Spider-Man series (Peter, MJ, and Ned). Drawn over some lined paper and sketchy spider webs, etc.

Grizzly bear - drawn in opposition to the administration proposing to delegate grizzly management to the states - which are typically hostile to large predators. If you also have thoughts about that, you can submit comments to the USFW, or submit one of the form letters through Earthjustice.

The North Atlantic Right Whale (~380) and the Rice's Whale (~50). Two endangered American whales. A reminder of what we stand to lose if this maniac administration continues gutting our environmental protection laws. At least some billionaire oil tycoon can get fractionally richer.

We watched The Odyssey over the weekend. It was great! I couldn't stop drawing this mental comparison, though.
Screenshots from the new Odyssey movie of Odysseus squaring off against the Laestrygonians, then screaming with the word bubble, "Run Away!". Finishing with a screenshot from Monty Python and the Holy Grail with the knights all running away, screaming, "Run Away!"

Rest in peace Sam Neill. Super sad to read about his passing this week. I don't get verklempt when celebrities pass, but Jurassic Park was a huge part of my childhood, and Sam Neill seemed like a cool guy. Inspired by his social media selfies with his farm animals.

The Royal Court of Princess Donut - circa book 7. I got hooked on the Dungeon Crawler Carl series this spring - started the first ebook in April and fully caught up a couple weeks ago. Lots of fun, and definitely inspired me to start drawing (after I was done reading, of course).
A group illustration of the Royal Court of Princess Donut. Includes Carl in the foreground wearing his gear from the books, and holding dynamite. Donut the tortie Persian cat is behind him, on the back of her blue and purple velociraptor, Mongo. The flying severed head of Samantha is in the background. Rend, the tummy acher, which looks like a meatball in stubby legs is in the foreground, mouth agape.

Based on the most melancholic Muppets skit. If you're in the mood for an existential crisis, I highly recommend it. This time of year, between the garden, home improvements, hobbies, and woodsy outings, I am never bored. And I have this damn Jim Croce song running through my head on repeat.

My ode to the original Star Wars trilogy, and the vintage Kenner toys. I was (and, honestly, still am) a big fan of the original Star Wars trilogy. With each new iteration of the universe, I feel like a bit of the magic erodes away, but it's still there when I revisit the originals.

There is a territorial war between the local crows and scrub jays, and our house seems to be the epicenter. The yard is basically an avian equivalent of the Five Corners from Gangs of New York. (Always keeping it topical with my references) #gangsofnewyork #scrubjay #crow #scorsese #fivecorners 🪶
An illustration of Bill the Butcher (played by Daniel Day Lewis) and Priest Vallon (played by Liam Neeson) as a scrub jay and crow facing-off. Both have their trademark weapons - a cleaver and butcher knife, and a large crucifix club.
