Orange Tree. Drawn in Procreate on my ancient iPad. If you'd like it in your house, it's available as art prints at my INPRNT store, and on a variety of products (including phone cases, stickers and notebooks) at my Redbubble shop! www.inprnt.com/gallery/puff... www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1833...

A stylized orange tree in a small bonsai pot on an aqua-blue background. The tan trunk and branches stand tall with a slight curve. The leaves and oranges are drawn to fit in an ovaloid shape, and the leaves are a gradient of colors, from yellow-green at the top to dark blue-green at the bottom.

I grew up loving and making bread. I lost so much with my celiac diagnosis but most especially I lost the joy of breadmaking. I’m hoping to get that back.

On my crossed legs, a large hardback book with a photo of a beautiful rustic load of bread on an olive green cover. The title at the top in cream text: “The Art of Gluten-Free Bread.” Below the bread photo, the subtitle and author: “Groundbreaking Recipes for Artisanal Breads and Pastries” by Aran Goyoaga. (Beyond the book’s cover, you can see my cat in the background, loafed on the floor.)

"Bouquet" My art piece for Rowan for the @charityartauction.bsky.social this year, which raised money for Doctors Without Borders. I was so excited Rowan chose Gladio; I don't get to draw him all that often! A fun event for a worthy cause. #gladiolusamicitia #finalfantasyxv

A black-and-white illustration with spots of color representing a waist-up portrait of older Gladiolus Amicitia, dressed in a fine suit and holding a bouquet of long-stem roses in his arms. He looks out at you with a soft smile. His eyes are amber, and his shirt, the roses, and the ribbon binding their stems are deep red.

My YouTube feed just pushed a video where a curator at the British Museum talks about a cuneiform tablet in the collection and the curator’s name is Irving Finkel and he looks exactly like his name sounds and he’s so excited about cuneiform tablets that I could listen to him for hours…

A cartoon drawing of a dapper balding man in round wire-rim glasses and a three-piece suit and a giant fluffy white beard, holding a rectangular tablet in one hand and gesturing excitedly with his other hand.

Day 11 of art show prep… the one that was done in the beginning is still the only one done, but I have made progress! Two in good shape, and two prepped boards waiting in the wings.

A painting of a leafless tree silhouette against a sunset. Seven black birds sit in the branches, spread out, all looking to the left.

An unfinished painting; the drawing depicts a woman leaning to the side, her hands nearly cupping her face. Two ghastly arms with long, clawed fingers ominously reach for her.

Day one of art show prep: Inventory. What do I have? What’s finished, what’s not? Of the finished stuff, what’s appropriate to the show’s theme? Of the unfinished stuff, what will work and what won’t? What materials do I have and what can be repurposed?

A butcher-block table with a bunch of painting canvases and boards laid out on it—all in various sizes and various stages of completion, from still wrapped in shrink wrap to finished.

Visited a teeny tiny mercantile shop in a teeny tiny rural town in Idaho while traveling this weekend and I am delighted to say that this thing exists

A green plushie shaped like the state of Idaho, with a teeny smiley face, and little arms and legs. Its left hand is holding a plushie potato. It sits on top of a square bun full of identical plushies. Store shelves can be seen in the background.

The Letter U. Next installment of my Monster Alphabet series! #puffbirdsketchbook #monsteralphabet

A cat-like monster drawn in the shape of the letter U. The bottom curve of the U is the monster's head, with two large eyes, a nose, and a toothy mouth. The monster's long ears make up the two arms of the U, with the pointed tips of the ears folded over. The monster looks a lot like a hairless cat.

Also, it’s lilac time! (Only one of these is a lilac, but I’m sharing them all anyway!) Pulled out my macro lens to explore what’s blooming…! #puffbirdphotos

A close-up photo of lilac blossoms; most of them are still closed, but the closest one is just opening.

Headed to Joann finally to see what they had. I wasn’t interested in the remaining books, and they were out of the paint and canvases I was looking for, BUT I found a nice floor lamp for my studio! This corner is so dark, and having this lamp will make a huge difference.

My small studio space, with my standing easel on the left, and a waist-high table on the right, which holds my tub of acrylic paint times, the vase holding my various brushes, and a stack of paintings in progress, all illuminated by the bar of my new standing LED lamp.

I've come to the conclusion that I don't practice enough, and so I'm gonna start doing more drawings from life. Ideally every day, but I'm not going to beat myself up about it. Here's my first for the year! My black boots. Which aren't very black in this drawing.

Bringing this dumb Final Fantasy XV comic over to Bluesky, inspired eight years ago when my youngest birbling didn't know that "arms" meant "weapons". Behold my most popular art on social media: "Royal Arms". #myart #finalfantasyxv

A three panel comic in a vertical format, titled "Royal Arms". Panel 1: A cartoon Noctis Lucis Caelum looks sadly at a supine statue of one of the Kings of Yore. Panel 2: Noctis breaks the arm holding the king's weapon off of the statue. Panel 3: Noctis stands in front of his friends, with his Armiger unleashed. Each weapon still has a stone arm attached to it. His friends are in various stages of shock; Gladio is smacking his forehead, Ignis has one hand on his hip and glares while pushing his glasses up, and Prompto is wincing and leaning away.

Actually pulled out some paper and a pencil for the first time in ages just to sketch these gryphons… I should do this more often.

I made this experiment with stretcher bars from a painting reject. I wasn’t too sure about it so I set it up in my living room to live with it for a while and I’ve decided I like it! Once I figure out how to frame it I’ll be offering it for sale. #art #fiberart
