Thanksgiving is pretty much over, but I forgot to post this and I spent WAY too much time on it not to post! Hope you had a good one! 😅🦃

Happy Halloween week! Here's some art I've made in the past month! Most of it is inspired by @chrispiascik.bsky.social's #Stinktober challenge. 🎃

Autumn has arrived! I'm ready for cooler weather, colorful leaves, rain, and spooky season!

#NoKings since 1776. Let's keep it that way.

There is no greater threat to the American people than a govt that is willing to use violence to silence its citizens. The elderly psychopath in the White House, who's drunk on his own power, is far more of threat to our safety than any immigrant. #DonaldTrump #LosAngeles #VectorArt #illustration
I recently saw a guy on Facebook advertising his services as a logo designer. The logos in questions are 100% AI generated, low-res jpeg's, and he can't be bothered to tidy them up in Photoshop. But don't worry, he just got his "online graphic design degree" last week. Whatever that is...
Spring has arrived! 🌸
It's gloomy and rainy in my area, but I'm looking forward to more sunny days, green leaves, and lots of blooming flowers!
Also, I've learning Adobe After Effects, and I made this with it!

Balcony Birds, Part 7: Steller's Jay
A Steller's Jay has only visited my feeders once, but I'm going to count it because they're so beautiful. These uncommon visitors are always noticeable because they're quite noisy and their deep blue plumage is so eye-catching!

Like a tapeworm slithering through America's bowels, billionaires like Elon Musk take as much as they can and give relatively little in return. It's insanely hypocritical for someone like him to call anyone else a "parasite."

Close-Up: A trading card of a Western Tanager, a yellow bird with black wings and tail, and a red head.
Close up of stats and facts about a Western Tanager. The text reads: "STATS: Length: 6.3 - 7.5 in (16 - 19 cm) Weight: 0.8 - 1.3 oz (24 - 36 g) Wingspan: 11.5 in (29 cm) FUN FACT: Western Tanagers migrate great distances throughout western North America. They spend their Summers as far north as Canada’s Northwest Territories, and their Winters as far south as Costa Rica. "
Balcony Birds, Part 6: Western Tanager
Bonus Fact: Despite the name, these birds are no longer a part of the tanager family (Thraupidae). Based on modern genetic analysis, they are now classified as part of the cardinal family (Cardinalidae). Pretty crazy, right?

MOOD.
This is how I've felt every time I look at the news lately, and just in general about the start to 2025. My birthday is this weekend, so here's hoping things start looking up soon! 🤞

I wish I could seclude myself in a cabin in the woods or along the coast with limited internet access and just exist, focus on myself, and focus on my art for at least a month.
I usually avoid pre-ordering games, but I'm seriously considering grabbing this one early because it comes out the week before my birthday and I'm excited!
A rested mind is a creative mind. Which is a problem when your ADHD brain constantly sabotages your sleep.
A lot of people seemed to enjoy my post about my most recent Balcony Bird trading card, so here's a recap of the first four in the series:
#1 Black-Capped Chickadee
#2 Red-Breasted Nuthatch
#3 House Finch
#4 American Bushtit

I am very sad to read about all the fires around LA right now and see images of the destruction. After living in LA for nearly a decade and seeing what my parents experienced as wildfire victims, I have a lot of heavy feelings about it all. I hope everyone stays safe. ❤️
Hey, Bluesky folks! For the past year or so, I have been (very slowly) illustrating trading cards representing all the bird species that visit the feeders on my balcony. Here is Balcony Birds, Part 5: Spotted Towhee!

Happy New Year! Let's make 2025 a good one! 🥂🎇
I'm not affiliated with the restaurant, but my partner and I are local fans of them and order tamales every year on Dec 24th. I hate to see a member of the community hurt like this, especially so close to Christmas. 💔 Here's a link to an article about the incident:

A Tigard, #Oregon restaurant called The Tamale House was robbed! Someone stole a trailer with thousands of dollars of ingredients inside. This is their busiest time of year, so the loss is big for them. If you want to help them, consider donating to their GoFundMe:

How is it already almost Christmas? December flew by in the blink of an eye! 😐

How many times do I have to press the "Show Less Like This" button to get BlueSky to understand I'm not here for political rants?
I was inspired by a recent viewing of Jim Carrey's "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." Doesn't it drive you crazy when you're trying to play it cool, but you're overwhelmed by feelings!?

I know they're an invasive species and it's probably not good that they're reproducing, but these nutria babies that were in my yard on Friday night were so cute! #cute #animals #pdx
Merry Krampusnacht! I hope you were good this year! 😈

Is it just me, or has it been extra cold in the #PortlandOregon area lately? It's barely December but feels like it's the dead of winter. 🥶
