Today I experimented with colored pencils

Here’s today’s drawing. He’s not the goat, but then, neither was yesterday’s goat.

Just started listening to Someone to Build a Nest In. Here’s a quote that struck me “hatred was the fear people let themselves enjoy”.

Took the younger dog to the vet for vaccinations. The assistant came in and asked if it would be okay for her to give the vaccine because the doctor had just been hit by a car. Turns out a pet had been hit by a car and the vet was busy helping them. It was a roller coaster of a conversation.

In my defense, it’s pride month and drawing unicorns in June is a thing. Furthermore, Wikipedia says unicorns can be horse-like or goat-like.

Back to cute animals because I can kinda already do those.

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing

Today I’m going to spend the day watching the grandbaby. The parents need a break and I have the time and motivation, so it’s win/win,

It feels juvenile, to me, to want to draw dragons but I would like to draw dragons and it’s harder than drawing something real because I don’t want to copy someone else’s. This guy is not quite what I had in mind but he’s what I have tonight.

I finished listening to Sunrise on the Reaping and now I’m working on Children of Time. Sunrise was fun and sad, as we knew it wove because it’s a prequel. In print I’m reading some self help stuff I don’t want to post about and annotating my copy of the Monk and Robot series.

I guess it’s national black bear day, so I added a quote from the Monk and Robot books (sometimes hyper fixation is good) and now he has a vibrant personality. #blueskyartshow

Tonight I drew a little snail.

Just couldn’t face the gym again today so instead I went for an eight mile hike.

I tried to do a mixed media kind of thing here and it didn’t really work but I did learn from it.

First dental appointment in twenty years and I learned two things. I have a small mouth. Also, I have no cavities. I was sure I’d need a root canal or something. A deep cleaning is going to cost a bit but I’m so relieved I could cry. I get to keep my luxury mouth bones.

Having a viral comment on ticktock is annoying. You get a notification every five minutes for months. I keep making comments on other videos in the hopes of breaking the notification monotony, but no. I am now only known for saying this one thing.

Therapy was shuffled around this week to today and it was a lot. Good, but a lot. So this is what I’ve got. It’s important to me to keep up the project even when the energy levels are a bit low.

Today’s drawing is another Monk and Robot fanart, but you don’t need to have read the books to get the idea.

I have a dental appointment on Thursday. I haven’t been to the dentist in a very long time. Making this happen involved some stress this morning and now I’m feeling things, but like… I guess that’s understandable under the circumstances. I can’t change past decisions.

I don’t make TikTok videos but I do make very cringy TikTok comments that go weirdly viral.
