A pair of old timey Trick R Treaters. When in doubt, look up old Halloween photos. My heartburn has been acting up the last couple of days, so I'm trying to avoid sitting hunched over the iPad for a bit. So, here's a Halloween repost. Spooky. #vintagehalloween #trickortreat

E is for Ectoplasm From my Ghost ABCs series (2019). Originating during the big spiritualism craze at the turn of the last century, ectoplasm is spiritual energy, made physical. This is also when I started to toy with the idea of ectoplasm being fungal. #ectoplasm #ghostabcs #halloween

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

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$$.

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!"

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.
