(He/Him) UX Designer, Painter, Admirer of Trees, Parent, Partner, Friend. I aim to make the world a better place by listening, learning, lifting, and doing.

A pen and ink sketch of a set of trees. One tall tree rises above a shorter evergreen and some smaller trees in the front. There is a little more attention paid to the lighting on the tall tree than the previous drawing.
Buttons, a protective German shepherd companion of Mindy from the Animaniacs cartoon.
A small evergreen leaning to the left, whose winding roots wrap around an old, mostly decayed stump; a child built on the bones of its mother.
A painting of a wide-trunked tree with with a canopy of wildly winding branches spreading out to cover the top half of the frame. The canopy is filled with a mix of bright green and yellow leaves and pink flowers intermittently shining with sunlight or enveloped in shade. Below the tree is a busy mess of foliage in cooler greens. A mossy, messy sidewalk angles up from the bottom mid-left to the right middle of the frame. In the distance, on the right sits a jumble of garbage bins.
A small casein painting of a blue and pink and rust colored car that looks like it's from the 1950s. The view is from a low angle in front of the right headlight of the car
A partial list of countries from a dropdown list for delivery from an online store. The United States of America is not included. The world is routing around the problem child.
A small painting in casein which shows a cloudy day over a lake whose water is currently very low. Stumps of old, drowned trees are scattered over the exposed lake bed. Misty clouds obscure the mountains in the distance while trees line the right edge of the painting.
A hound dog rendered in sepia ink. He's laying down and has the string of a balloon in his mouth and tangled around his paws. The balloon that floats above his head is square and says "Happy Birthday!" in it.
A rough little casein sketch of an orange cat sleeping in a garden bed, surrounded by rocks and green leaves. He seems very relaxed.
A low angle view of the beastie boys seen through a fish eye lens.
Cold, leftover pizza with egg salad on it. Not pictured here: salt and pepper added later.
A friendly little seal fella holding a decorated wooden hocky stick dressed in a 80's themed jacket (bright teal, purple, and pink). I think he's cute.
The wonderfully illustrated cover to "Carved in Stone: A Storyteller's Guide to the Picts". in a horizontal stripe going from left to right, there is a painted image of a forest between a lake and waterfall. In the landbridge between the two, a row of ancient picts travel with their belongings. Along the top and bottom of the book run stripes of intricate patterns.
A very grumpy chocolate cookie with chocolate chip eyes and nose and a huge frown.
A wide shot of a golden, radio tower topped Queen Anne hill being graced by the morning sun as a calm Lake Union rests in shadow as the sun rises over Capitol Hill.
A handbound book with an open spine design and french stitching. I misjudged the length of the thread and had to tie in an extra bit to finish the book.
Sunset over a parking lot. The silhouette of a tree looms over the left side of the scene. cars litter a grocery store parking lot, reflecting the oranges, purples, and blues of the cloudy sky above. A "Do Not Enter" sign sits on the right upper portion of the scene, just below a pair of bright street lights. This one was tricky, but fun to try.
A bit of ocean scenery. Grayish clouds above a grayish ocean. A circle created by the shoreline and some stones that rise above the water surround a central pillar. In the foreground grass complements the curve. overall, this one feels a bit washed out, but it's practice.
A chunky, boulder rests on a grass covered hill. There are small rocks to the left and a large mound on the right from which the boulder fell out of a long time ago. A small evergreen tree sits to the right of the boulder. In the distance there are trees and hill, and a river seems to carve its way through the landscape behind all of that. The front part of the scene is dark with shadow.

Pennywise the clown from Stephen King's IT pokes his cheery face out from the sewers and says to a young boy in a yellow raincoat. "Bluesky is an echo chamber," "Bluesky doesn't have enough reach," and "Liberals must return to X to challenge the far right."
An evergreen tree, half-lit by the dawn reaches into a blue sky. part of a garage and very mangled car sit cloaked in shadow at the bottom of the painting.
A fine bottle of Miso flavoured soda. Would you try it?
A small, 3x3 casein sketch of a street at dawn. A van sits on the right, near the front of the painting, road stretching into the distance where it is met with a dark wall of trees. There is a fence on the left under more trees. Wires criss cross the sky between telephone poles. It's a middling effort, and lighter than intended, but I'm working on it.
a blue pencil sketch of three artichoke flowers, stacked vertically. The artichoke in the center has bloomed. These three fellows have since passed into the brown desiccation of fall.
A dry gray river rock with a shape reminiscent of a lopsided butt.
Another coastal fence post, shocked and horrified by the state of affairs.
A startled fence post! Knot holes form a startled/dismayed face in a fence post.
Stingy, from Lazytown. He's a plastic boy with brown hair, a red polkadot bowtie, a yellow vest, and a striped white shirt.
The cover of "Sun Flowers" by Keezy Young. Blue background of hair and maybe tentacles behind a young woman's face half obscured by orange and black sunflowers. The title and author text is set in an off white, wavy font, somewhat reminiscent of the 1970s. There is a tagline that says "Most people think mania is fun".
A 3x3 grid of black and white studies of landscapes in casein paint. From the top left 1. A scene of a tall canyon wall at the base of which are tiny little dots representing dudes on horses. 2. A night scene where the moon shines through shadowy trees. 3. rounded hills rising above a still lake. 4. A wyeth painting that until I painted this, I didn't realize was of a butchered cow carcass in front of an old barn. sheesh. 5. A mountain hillside covered in rocks I failed to render coherently. At the top, a small badly drawn cabin ... exists. 6. Dramatic mountains rise above a confusing lakeshore, done in a weird fashion in opaque use of casein. This dried much darker than expected. 7. a cliff lined seashore with waves crashing... meh . 8. An all too light rendering of a park originally painted by Monet. 9. A brightly lit lake and some low hills seen through a cover of trees and bushes.
Black Aziz Anansi asks "Do you ever get sad about how many people have fully embraced anti-intellectualism?" Uncle Duke, in a post, just below this adds a caption "I think both sides are to blame here" to a photo which depicts a car sticking halfway out of the side of a building atop which a sign clearly states that the building is a "Drive-Thru Pharmacy".
Adobe cancellation screen where I'm being charged $39.99 to end my subscription.
A humanoid rooster with evil yellow eyes, orange feathers, and a red cock's comb wears purple robes decorated with gold. On his shoulders sits a small pseudodragon. This image is modeled after D&D's image of Severin from the Tiamat campaign.
A handbound book with a fancy gold and black cover. On top of the book rest a white mechanical pencil, a purple pilot fountain pend, and a brown Lamy fountain pen.
An obviously raucous, big-mouthed bird bard singing a jaunty, discordant tune. A large daisy rests in his wide brimmed green hat. He strums a banjo while his giant yellow eyes look in different directions.
A wax museum display featuring Shirley Temple on a small boat titled "Good Ship Lollipop". It is festooned with hearts, cute animals, and topped with a some sort of sail next to an orange cartoon demon. I don't know. This was a wild time.
Amos Burton (from the Expanse) looking up and saying "I'm free right now."
A scene from the movie Labyrinth: Somber faces rendered in stone line an underground corridor serving as false alarms and preventing progress. Utterly useless.
