Things That I’m Thinking About
The image for this post is a horse I’m working on. It’s a test piece because I’m trying out some new stuff. And my airbrush is trying hard not to work like it supposed to. Which is to say, it…
What Happens Now. My Post-Election Thoughts
I’ve not responded to the election news until now because frankly I feel so betrayed by my fellow Americans and so disappointed in people who would choose Nazis and fascists, who would elect men who have and want to rob…
What’s Been Happening
I posted this on my Patreon, but I wanted to share here so you all know why I’ve been so radio silent. The picture, btw, is a horse I managed to paint sometime in November. I haven’t really managed to…
