Happy new year! Here is my moho horse animation made just for the occasion ❤️

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

So cute!

Oooooomghgg so cute 🥹🥹🥹🥹

When I got to New Hampshire it was non stop traveling around visiting family - leaving very early AM multiple days to travel in bitter cold temps. It’s now a slower schedule for the rest of my visit and of course I got super worn down from all the activities and I’m I’m sick 🤧

Ahhhh but!!! Recorders are inexpensive, hard to break and easy to play, so for schools it’s a no brainer as an excellent intro to playing an instrument❤️ you learn basic notes, music reading, breath control etc.

Lovely 😭

Yes and it can come from anywhere too! Music, travel, artists who work outside your medium. Let the world and your life experiences inspire you. But also pay attention to the why, like what is it about something that excites you, what do you think you are reacting to, why are you drawn to them.

I would say just make sure the lil dude has different supplies and give him space to make whatever he wants. At 4 they learn by playing so let him play, and encourage the use of his imagination.

My head wearing a professor‘s cap, looking down on the words: PROFESSOR BUTS SAYS TRY TO LOOK FOR NEW REFERENCES TO HELP YOUR STYLE.

My head with a pipe, looking down on the words: BUT, NOT ONLY ATOTHER ILLUSTRATORS IN YOUR SAME FIELD.

I’ve been a professor for 2+ decades and I’ve learned a few things in my time. Every bit of wisdom has a big ol’ “but”. Here are just a few.

🍑 Got any buts of your own? Lemme hear ‘em!

A frog guy, or ask i like to call him, a ferg, and his giant bird companion with a goblins face, or ask i like to call it, a berg. They're in a muddy pathway next to a big wall.

Wirt, Greg, and Beatrice walking through a forest, haloed by a warm light. This is the key art from Over The Garden Wall.

A spooky river and fields. A sinister tower is in the distance, along with a red glowing moon.

A fallen tree in a grove. It has smashed a wooden shack. A path winds by.

They are very gummy- they are so you can mold them around a pill. I have some if ya want to try. Keegan isn’t really into them. Text me if ya want samples. (I forget to check 🦋 everyday)

Greenie pill pockets are gummy?

Awww poor poppy 😭

*in IN the morning lol. But maybe I'm such a badass I walk ON THE MORNING!

Painting based on some photos I take when I go for walks on the morning.
