Here’s two variants of a baby #protoceratops and a #sloth in party hats. By request, hah. Drew these while on the couch trying to zone out for a bit. Trying not to #doomscroll #drawing #dinosaurs #procreateart #sketch

It’s is time for another cup of coffee. #dinosur #dunkins #drawing I drew this dinosaur a year or two ago as part of a dinosaurs with jobs series.

So the #oscars are on now. I used to watch a ton of movies. I’ve seen exactly 1 of the best picture nominees this year (Dune 2) It’s weird, streaming 2 one hour episodes of a typical drama show is the same length as a movie, but watching a movie seems like a much bigger commitment.

I wanted to draw tonight a dinosaur tonight. It helps me relax, usually. I drew this guy in #procreate, used a toy as a model. I am not patient enough to do perfect text in procreate, but the sentiment should be clear. #resist #dinosaur #eattherich #drawing #art #draweverydamnday

A story about how the layoffs impacted the National Hurricane Center. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/e...

Scam artist declares that scam currency to be strategic reserve. What could go fucking wrong here? www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Here’s my #storygraph wrap up for February. The numbers might be a little screwy because I did my initial #goodreads import this month. Favorite nonfiction for Feb. probably was “A Brief History of Equality” by Thomas Piketty and fiction “Help Wanted” by “Adele Waldman”. #booksky

I’ve been going through some of my old artwork and I came across this one from a couple of years ago: Con-Anne of Green Gables I thought it was hilarious, but it got like zero traction on IG. #conan #anneofgreengables #fantasyart #booksky #books

Reposting some #cartoons I drew this week. This week has been a hell of year. #politicalcartoon #drawing #art

I think I need a break from #doomscrolling. Here’s a #cartoon I drew the spineless worm #marcorubio attempting to hide while a brave defender of freedom fought against two Russian agents. #drawing #politicalcartoon #resist #fucktrump

Here’s a quote from this orange fucking menace from the other day. Drew this cartoon this afternoon. Can’t keep up with his bullshit. He is such garbage and an international embarrassment. I am ashamed of my country. #drawing #cartoon #swampcreature #politicalcartoon #resist

It’s Saturday. I drew this skull this week for the background image of one of my cartoons. We just need to keep going. #resist #fucktrump #fuckputin #fuckrubio #fuckjdvance #fuckfascism

Here’s a caricature of the monstrous couch fucking clown J.D. Vance. I am so embarrassed to be an American today. The way Zelenskyy was treated by these assholes is beyond shameful. Putin must be giggling like a school girl. Spineless, shameless, just scum. Fuck. Europe, you are on your own.

Predicting the path of tornados, the landfall of hurricanes, or whether it's going to rain next Monday might seem like magic. But it's not. It's the hard work of the people at NOAA who make the impossible possible through science. This is dangerous.

So Instagram was essentially showing gore and people getting killed yesterday? What the hell was that? I pretty much stopped using IG so I missed out, lucky me. This is supposed to be Zuck. #procreate #caricature doodle. “Blood for the blood god.” was some kind of meme thing a while back?

So this is happening. I am curious if this is going to have any kind of effect. I hope so. I’ve seen a bunch of posts on it, my favorite is the red bunny image. If I had a little more focus I’d make one. Maybe I’ll get inspired tonight.

Huh. Kind of pleasantly surprised by this one. www.reuters.com/business/inv...

It’s Thursday - let’s do this. I had some disrupted sleep last night so I am feeling like a zombie. Drew this guy last year, I had been messing around with a watercolor washy style in Procreate on the iPad. #zombie #monster #draweverydamnday #drawing

Here’s a lich shooting some lightning out of his finger. Drawn in 2023. I had some ideas to draw today, but I am kind of toast and just zone out on the couch listening to an audiobook. #drawing #fantasyart #dungeonanddragons

Another #doomscrolling session, another #cartoon. I do like Maine governor Janet Mills telling the orange monster to take a hike. We need to fight these bastards every step of the way. Do not give them an inch. Drawing in #procreate, about 45 minutes. #politicalcartoon #editorialcartoon #doodle

Good job Apple. What the hell kind of crazy timeline are we in when I am cheering on Apple? 9to5mac.com/2025/02/25/a...

The House will vote TODAY on whether to advance devastating cuts to Medicaid that would destroy lifesaving programs for people with disabilities, children, seniors, and more. Call your representative now and tell them to save Medicaid at (202) 224-3121.

It’s Tuesday. Let’s try to have some fun today. Here’s a baby hippo riding on a dinosaur. Drew this a couple of years ago by request for one of the kids. #art #dinosaur #procreateart #motivation #draweverydamnday

Trying out the new Flashes app. Hopefully it will be a good IG replacement. This is a “lesser New England bugbear” I drew a few years ago. #art #fantasyart #monster #drawing

Another #doomscrolling session, another #cartoon It’s hard to find any reference of this guy actually using a computer. I guess it would make more sense to do this one while holding a phone, maybe? #procreate, 30 minutes #politicalcartoon #drawing #caricature #email
