The dogs are doing great, thanks for asking.

Wow, Ohio's only national forest being fracked out at bargain basement prices. What a sad day for what little remains of the state's natural resources. Full article here: www.dispatch.com/story/news/s...

I have to put Zill on blast for this one. How did this happen. How is this *real*

Happy Pride, Everyone! This is my latest and largest Pride project to date: Let Your Colors Run! Celebrating pride with ten different hounds, with ten different pride flags! Nothing felt more natural than taking two things that matter so much to me, and bringing them together.

Hey Artists! If you see this, post a dog 🐕 (My two beautiful olds: Strudel the dachshund and Zill the greyhound)

illustration from laur-rants, 2025 Depicts a red fawn greyhound with a green collar, looking down happily at an angry red dapple dachshund.

illustration by laur-rants, 2021. Depicts the red greyhound as lady Dimetrescu and the red dapple dachshund as Ethan Winters, both from the game Resident Evil 8. The text says "Lady Zill Dogitrescu" and "Strudel Winters".

illustration by laur-rants, 2021. Depicts Zill, the red fawn greyhound, running full tilt towards the viewer, with strudel in the background trying to keep up.

Illustration by laur-rants, 2016. A year into having Zill, I drew the dogs together. Zill is lying down, eyes closed and mouth open, ears flopped silly, while Strudel locks her nose.

What's better than one Zill? Two!! Today was a very special day: We got to meet Zill's sister and littermate, Ashley! A dream come true for me, and it was a lovely time and visit. A reunion 10 years in the making. ❤️

Two fawn colored greyhounds, their faces white with age, stand next to each other. Though the one on the right has white paws and upright ears, the two are clearly identifiable as related. They are in fact, littermate sisters.

Last year I scored a lot of used server gear that had an LTO drive amidst the e-waste. Over the span of months and after some: hardware disassembly, tinkering, and learning some new operating environments, I'm finally adding TAPE to my backups. The kind of nerdy 10 year old me always dreamed of.

A stack of LTO7 taps sit atop a laptop perched on a server rack in what appears to be a dingy basement. A tape is being ejected from the LTO tape drive and from the mess of cables in the background one can tell this is a very DIY computer project.

Everyone this is important, today is Zill's 12th birthday. She's been with us for 10 years now and has gone from a shy, retired racer to a distinguished older lady. 1st photo is from today, 2nd is from her gotcha day in 2015.

Zill, a red fawn female greyhound turns 12 today. She's wearing a pointy party hat that reads "party animal" and is standing in the kitchen licking her chops in anticipation of a piece of cheese.

Quick update: lines are done and I'm ready to paint! Very proud to have gotten this far already.

Illustration by laur-rants, 2025. Drawing on illustration board of birds, 42 distinct species, all of which are found in Central Ohio throughout the year, either as permanent residents or migrating breeders. Species are all arranged in patterns of flight, and are situated based on size and also relative areas of the air column where they may be found (for example, the vultures are towards the top, as is the chimney swift). Sizes are not exact but do their best to remain relative based on position on the board and also species. While all species will not be listed here at present, the final will list all species and the order in which they occur from left to right.
