The Rots
Slightly irreverently twisted The Rots are fun, twisted little creatures that I draw and paint and sculpt and felt.
The Rots shop is a mixture of handmade originals and printed classics, greeting cards, prints, books and wearables.

Did a little drawing today at the Lincoln Highway Experience with some friends from the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art - Ligonier Valley Quick Draw event. I used my Koh-I-Noor Aquarelle Coloured Pencils for some nice watercolor effects.

I can't pinpoint where you can find her here in this post, but if you check my pinned posts at the top of my page that may be of help. I don't know what else to do here.
Please check any page on The Rots website for a link to get notifications when I post on my blog. I'm sorry it's coming to this, but I may have to direct my energies to my blog or maybe my old (disabled) Patreon page.

Welp, the Pittsburgh Pirates were mathematically eliminated overnight while I slept. And by the time the Padres won, it was officially National Talk Like a Pirate Day local time 😩, which is very insensitive of them.
So, as with every fall, here's hoping they right the ship next year. 🏴☠️
This is a promotional painting I made back in my kid's book days, titled Red Beard.
Aaarrrrrgh.

I realized the other day as I was working on this year's holiday card that I never finished posting the other digital work I finished this year!
These are all part of an awareness campaign for The Bay Foundation and City of Santa Monica’s dunes restoration project. I'll post one at a time so they don't get lost behind their buddies.
This one is Melody!
