A Michigan to Texas Birthday Wish 2022

 


Here is this year's birthday pic to my friend Sandra down in Texas. This tradition started some years ago and I kinda like doing it, so Happy Birthday, Sandra!

This pic is from last summer and is one of our dogs, Elroy. A happy pup makes for a happy pic.

The Ghost Of Christmas Yet To Come

 

Ghost of Christmas yet to Come/Ghost of Christmas present... either or, I guess. What does it mean? Don't ask me, this was stuck in me brainpan, so that's what came out. There's a warning in there somewhere, you can be darn sure of that!

Now, get off my lawn.

Saw Gerrera Sketch

 

5x8
ink and ink wash from sketchbook


I finished watching Andor last week and was pleasantly surprised that Forest Whitaker had reprised his role as a younger Saw Gerrera. Whitaker has always had an interesting face and that he would be fun to draw, so I sketched out a close up of his animated Saw face and did an ink wash, something I don't do often. It might show.

Brook Stickleback Sketch

ink in sketchbook


In conjunction with the #25DaysofFishmas, today's #SundayFish Sketch theme was another riddle. The clues were as follows:

1. Native to North America, including the Great Lakes

2. Has no scales, but has five prominent spines on its back.

3. Builds a nest using its kidney secretions.

At first, I thought that this brook stickleback wouldn't be that fun to draw, but no, I was wrong. It was very entertaining to draw as it's an interesting fish and I'm kind of happy with the outcome.

Muskellunge Sketch

ink in sketchbook


This week's #SundayFishSketch coincides with the #25DaysofFishmas thingie going on, as well. This one, we had to guess the fish based on 3 clues:

1. Native to the Great Lakes, but stocked elsewhere as sport fish.

2. A fish with serious 'duck face.'

3. Both its common and scientific names are derived from an Ojibwa word.

Hence, the muskellunge, or muskie.
