I struggled to contain my rage this past week reading about the Cornell Seven. Rage towards men who use the degradation of women as a bonding activity. Rage towards the cowards who stay silent and perpetuate the system they benefit from.

#Boktober 03 Ref of "Chunkbutt" provided by @razzlesdazzle.bsky.social It's hard to get that much detail into a quick sketch but I gave it a shot. I also gave her a tree to sit in, though not sure I captured the chunkness while trying to fit the sketch into such a small space.

A small watercolor and ink sketch of a chicken sitting on a tree branch. She is mostly in the shade, with parts in the sun an orange-red color. Under it is written Boktober 03 and kamakru.com

Summer is nearly over and I had an eventful one. This is a painting I did years ago for a competition and my niece modeled for it. I hadn’t seen her in many years and it was a reminder how time is fleeting. ‘Frome Me to You’ Sumi and watercolor 2018 (I think)

A painting of a girl in a lily pad patch. In one of her hands is an antler and the other is pulling a string from it.

I know it's been said before, but if you're struggling with the *everything*, consider making something. It won't make the everything go away, but you'll feel good about what you made, and that one thing will be far more good than the evil fuckwits have ever produced in their lives.

HIGH FLIER (2018) Acrylic on Illustration Board - 16” x 12” On a whim, I added the figure to a study for EMPIRE OF GRASS, a Tad Williams cover recently completed at the time. 1/2 #art

A young girl with hair tied back in blonde pigtails holds on for dear life as she clings to a white star-shaped balloon. Sweeping rock formations set against cloudless pale skies reach out as she narrowly escapes their sharp feathered tips. The girl is wearing a white tank top and pink shorts. Her feet are bare, floating unsupported and at the mercy of momentum like the long kite tail that trails the pillowy balloon in its exit off panel to the upper left. The far horizon, rendered hazily, tilts at an extreme angle adding to the sense of disorientation, perpendicular to the movement of the rocks and path of the balloon.

I’m still under a somewhat art block that I’m trying to kick and what better way to do that than to visit 10 year old paintings. At the time, I hadn’t painted much cats, but now that I have two kitties, I wanted to dedicate them to this idea So here is Torico: 闇反響 Sumi and liquid acrylics

A sumi and liquid acrylic painting of a cat with his prize catch, a white mouse, in his mouth. Bush flowers seep their essence on the cat, letting him blend and mold himself to his surroundings of leaves and grass

動物好きで、発信もしてるけど、「政治には関わりません」「動物の話だけしていたいので…」みたいな態度の人はすごく沢山いるが、正直言って甘いし、幼稚な態度だと思う。トランプが50年間続いてきた絶滅危惧種の保護措置を廃止した、というニュースも届いたばかりで、気候変動否定論者も兼ねていることがほとんどである現代の極右は、存在自体が動物の「敵」というほかない。「動物好き」が政治から目をそらしている時点で、動物のかわいさや美しさという表面だけ消費してるんですね、と思われても仕方ないと思う。極右に賛同する人はもはや論外であり、深く軽蔑する www.nytimes.com/2026/07/10/c...
