My family has a cabin on a lake in northwoods WI, that is home to many sizeable snapping turtles. When I was a child I told stories of one imaginary particularly giant turtle named Sara. Her size varied in my tales but she was always enormous and kind. Bored one day I remembered Sara and just for funzies, I thought to myself, what if she opened a bed and breakfast? So this piece, as well as being my first foray into using Clip Studio, is my tribute to the lake monster of my childhood. #illustration #art #csp #turtle #cryptid #imaginary #sunset https://www.redbubble.com/people/dreadedloon/works/41676358-lake-beast prints, stickers, goodies, etc

For the past few weeks I've been attending some free classes at the library all about the process of classic hand drawn animation. Yesterday was the final class where we made flipbook animations. I did what I could at the class, and today I got carried away finishing it with ink and color. Enjoy! @chuckjonescenter #flipbook #animation #plants #eyeball #weird https://www.instagram.com/p/B0pVC-YHCj-/?igshid=1flwqz0ii6tzp

A few weeks ago, I asked Alexa to set a reoccurring reminder to water the plants. Now, due to a misunderstanding, every Tuesday at 2 pm my robot asks me "What are the plants?" It's always adorable. Yesterday, I was inspired to draw this. #art #Amazon #tech #amazonecho #alexa #plants #coleus #illustration #robot https://www.instagram.com/p/BvPP5szAONk/?igshid=u251x922bx75
