No More Foolin'

No April fools to be found here, although I can't deny being a fool year round anyway. So what's new?

FANNY FOREVER PRINT

Fanny Forever 11x17 print

My wife and I had to tragically say goodbye to our very beloved 16 year old cat, Fanny (short for Fanchette). Amongst those who knew here, she was very sweet and affectionate and the most playful ever. A cat truly like no other. I know I'll be feeling her loss for a long time.

As a way to raise some funds to help recover a lot of the end of life costs we had to endure (which were a significant amount), I made this print. I really put my all into it and I believe it to be one of my best drawings to date. I also splurged on the nicest 11"x17" paper I could find and the prints are quite beautiful! Excellent texture and the blacks are the deepest they've ever printed.

As you may have seen in last month's newsletter, I did some art for a new deluxe edition of the punk rock TTRPG Mystic Punks. Well, the kickstarter campaign is now live! You should back it while you still have a chance. Click here to see the campaign.


Photography

To close out this month's newsletter, I figured I might mention that I've been taking an interest in photography recently. It's been really great to have a new creative outlet that isn't as labor intensive as the art I typically make. That said there has been a lot for me to learn and still more to learn. I've mostly been using my iPhone 14 Pro (I discovered it actually has a really powerful camera if you shoot RAW), but also use my Nikon d3000 (an old DSLR) and some point and shoot 35mm cameras (for which I must still get the film I shot with those developed). This is purely just for fun, but I wanted to share anyway. I hope you all don't mind.

Here's some of my recent favorites I took:

butterflies
flower
black and white rainbow
blinds
drawers
joint cherry

Hoping to get more photos with people in them as the weather gets warmer.


Thanks for reading, and feel free to drop a comment!

Until next time...
