Caribou! Or reindeer, take your pick.

I know Christmas is long gone but given the weather across the state today it feels like we’re in for second Christmas…

Ahoooo!!!! Another from the toned paper sketchbook archive.

I like watching wolf cams from nature centers and zoos to do gesture drawing warmups. One struck a pose that I liked quite a bit and this sketch is the result.

Super quick demo sketch I did for my students this week, but can you tell who it is?

Sometimes I wish I could play the violin. And then I remember that good posture is important for holding the violin and I change my mind. I'll leave it to the experts.

This one takes me back to my time living in Mexico. Some of the most incredible and humble people. And man I miss that deliciously spicy food! 🌶

So I just saw the preview for Jurassic world 3 and I have Dinos on my brain: I realize that logic left the world of Jurassic Park a long time ago….seeing as I can't get a banana into the state of California without risking imprisonment, I do have a hard time buying that these dinos have been so easily shipped around the globe.

What a peaceful pond. Nothing like the quiet companionship of still water & stoic goldfish. I’d personally love to have an aquarium of fish, but it’s been vetoed by my wife. I guess when you already have 6 tortoises, 4 geckos, and a snake, the line’s gotta be drawn somewhere…

Argh! Tis Inktober me Maties!
I showed this particular Inktober drawing to my wife and she told me that the caption really didn't make any sense.
I was trying to make a bad pun about 'porch pirates' (people who swipe packages) but I guess It didn't work.
So, just in case you didn't know what a porch pirate was, I hope now that I have explained it, you can understand my joke. That is a hallmark of a good joke, needing an explanation...

@ Draper, Utah

day 1! This is Mingo, the blue and gold macaw. This year for inktober I'll be doing animal studies. A lot of the critters will be residents of aquarium where I work. I'll be doing my best to keep up this year with posting everyday, however I will be skipping weekends. Hurrah for
