Here's a couple recent favorite doodls I drew. The prompts are in the alt text

A grey tone ink illustration ofa squid, octopus and an ammonite, the ammonite is coming out of a portal. The prompt was to draw a time traveler dressed in the wrong centuries clothing

A grey tone ink illustration of a mushroom forest scene. The prompt was to draw an autumn scene

Two sphinx months in flight against a red and yellow sunset. The prompt was to draw a golden hour scene

An octopus holding three swords and scabbards. The prompt was to drawa cute animal preparing for battle

I took a motorcycle class once, and while the scooter is missing the fun roar and vibration and cool factor, it still has the thrill of the zipping through the air so I'm satisfied. Plus it needs no gas and i can get to most places i need to go in Seattle with it.

I've noticed an alarming number of large tree branches that have broken off in my neighborhood parks this summer, wind has nothing to do with it. I can't help think the drought from climate change is responsible. I've never seen anything like this in summertime before.

Today's Doodl prompt was to draw a slice of fruit, but I was inspired by those old paintings of fruit and flowers that had lots of bugs. And while I was drawing, an aphid (I think) decided to supervise. #Invertebrates

I honestly don't know at this point whether I continue to use invertebrates for nearly every Doodl prompt is devotion, obsession or illness. At any rate, today's prompt was something organic made to look technological, so I drew a mechanical caterpillar. #Invertbrates

Today for #InverteFest, here are some more invert themed moments from the manga, Dorohedoro, where the author clearly loves invertebrates. As more proof, Nikaido's restaurant is called "The Hungry Bug". And there are more bugs yet to come.

I can control him with frequencies undetectable to the human ear. In the next panel doc says "I can even make him speak, only one word, though." and johnson replies by saying "shocking"
