Two sandhill cranes are in flight, traveling right to left in the image, above a blue pond, with winter-brown reeds along the bank in the background. They are flying one ahead of the other, with wings in the up position in their flapping cycle.

The same two cranes just a couple of wing flaps later, with wings stretched out to the side.

In a flat and arid grass and sagebrush landscape, with a mountain ridge in the distant background under a storm-cloudy sky, a band of mares and foals trots and canters right-to-left in the image. Leading the band is a young chocolate brown mare with a days-old foal cantering at her side to keep up. Behind them we see a gray colt, a silver-gray mare, a bay yearling and bay mare, a white-gray mare, and a black foal, all trotting in the brown mare's wake.

Congrats to Rep. @katiejonesmpls.bsky.social and family, who biked to the hospital last week and came back with baby Hans. Here's what she told me about the ride:

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

And they're done! I'm so happy with how this turned out. I'm starting to feel a little more confident in being able to produce finished illustrations in traditional media, not just studies. 😊This is watercolor + gouache., with a little bit of color pencil and pastel for final touches.

Elephant-shaped children’s menu from 1938 for the New Haven Railroad. The gray cartoon elephant faces left with a curved trunk and white tusks. A bright red and gold banner draped across its back reads “New Haven Railroad Children’s Menu,” with small tassels hanging below.

Interior of the elephant-shaped 1938 New Haven Railroad children’s menu, opened flat to show two cream-colored pages forming the elephant’s body. Red silhouettes of circus animals—elephant, camel, giraffe, lion, monkey, and hippopotamus—illustrate meal options. Text at the top reads “Please Order by Picture.” Each animal corresponds to a listed meal, such as peanut butter and jelly, scrambled eggs, or a vegetable plate with mashed potatoes, with prices ranging from 65 to 85 cents.

This 1938 children’s menu from the New Haven Railroad is somehow even more charming on the inside than on the cover. Young passengers could order by picture — choosing between PB&J, fluffy mashed potatoes, and more alongside circus animal silhouettes. NUTL Menu Collection, Thomas F. Seaman donation.

A rally is underway in solidarity with trans people in Kansas whose drivers' licenses were suddenly invalidated last week, due to the enactment of a new state law that requires a person's gender on their license to match their assigned sex at birth.

This Is some art I’ve made for Decomposer, a graphic novel written by Mason McDonald. The book is well on it’s way to being finished but we’ve set up a Kickstarter to help us complete it. I’d really appreciate if you’d have a look at the page (link below) and consider helping us out. Thanks!

Let’s see, a new pinned post maybe.

I am an illustrator and I also make pictures with my own hands for animation and games sometimes.

But for just exploring and having fun with shapes without any strong preconceived directions, oils work best for me.

It’s the most malleable medium that doesn’t involve a computer; one can apply the paint in all sorts of ways,  and wipe off areas as needed during the process. 2/4
