This is a piece I did in 2004 on actual papyrus. I used my usual colored pencil, technical pen and white gouac...

Pony Bay is a small oceanside community that is nestled in a small harbor just a day's travel via boat from Manehattan in my Equestria dreamscape. The community existed to primarily to support the loading of timber from the mountains just a few miles inland onto schooners that ran up and down the east coast of Equestria supplying timber for various needs. Linking the harbor to numerous lumber camps was a network of narrow gauge railroads that served them. However there was another side ...

This is commission I finished today for Sonny Strabrite . He was fascinated with an earlier B/W sketch I'd done of the CMC from Rainbow Rocks and he commissioned a color piece of it. This is the first time I have done any of the Equestria Girls characters in color so there was a bit of discovery in this piece.
Also this piece ended up being a textbook example of a sa...

1. You must be in the Picarto chat during the actual stream to make a request, and I will only take requests when I say it's time. Requests by other means will be ignored.

Another Patreon reward this time for Skyline he very much liked my anthro Sweetie Belle and wanted to have her with his OC Amber. So I had the taking a break from sparring. I'll be creating more art like this tomorrow on 9/23/17 starting at 5:30pm Pacific.
That evening while Luna had her meeting Applebloom for her lesson, another meeting was taking place.
Captain Firewing kept his face as neutral as he reviewed Phoenix's report and looked at the photos in front of him in my Equestria dreamscape.
For the last 36 hours he'd been running primarily on caffeine, adrenaline, snack food, a...
Because my regularly scheduled stream on 9/30/17 is going to be a special guest artist Ancient Egyptian Art stream; I will be having a regular art stream this Saturday 9/23/17 on Picarto starting at 5:30pm Pacific. So tune in this Saturday for an evening of art, stories, and good times, and if you like my streams tell a friend as well. See you there!
"Kaching!" "She had it coming!" "Mom is not amused!" There are so many possible titles for this piece, but it is probably one of the most amusing piece I've had done on any of my Picarto streams.
It is a patron reward for Caerdwyn who decided to sacrifice his $50.00 patreon tier reward for September to ma...

A Patreon reward for Roan RPG that I on my Picarto stream last night. It's not from the anthro MLP dream/movie I had a few weeks ago, but it has many of same elements to it. Someone has interrupted Octavia and Vinyl's day at the beach in a very bad way. The weapon is a FN P-9...

“Now remember everypony, next Friday is when your presentations need to be ready, so don’t wait too long before starting on them! Have a great weekend!” With that Miss Cheerilee dismissed her class in my Equestria dreamscape.
Foals boiled out of the schoolhouse to enjoy their weekend of freedom from the classroom. As usual the CMC walked home together and as they did they discussed the project Miss Cheerilee had given them.

Another Patreon reward. This time for a longtime friend, client, patron, and all around nice guy Richard Westberry. In fact he's one of the individuals who got me into fandom back in 1989. Now he's built up quite a few months in his favor so I decided to surprise him and do something special!
He has a passionate love for blackpowder firearms and in particu...

This is another Patreon reward for McClaw. In reality this is take two of a piece that I drew on a Picarto stream back in June. At the time I was unable to finish the piece and I decided I'd finish shading it back at my studio. A couple days later I started working on another Patreon patron piece and a...

At this point in my Equestria dreamscape my subconscious started tracking several dream arcs/plot threads at once. So the viewpoint will be changing a bit more for awhile.
Twilight galloped through the halls of the Royal Palace. She’d shown up for her Advanced Spell Energy Management class only to be informed that she had an unexpected appointment with Princess Celestia.
Twilight’s school panniers flapped against the barrel of her chest as she ran up the s...
Steel Hoof kicked his hoofs up on to the chair in front of him. The club wouldn't open for a few more hours so he was off the clock. Slowly he looked around the empty club floor. It wasn't the best job he'd had, but he'd had worse. Heck his employer even for having a bit of a creepy vibe at times paid him well and on time.
As he was fishing a cigarette out of his pocket he heard one of the entrance doors open behind him, a couple of second...

While Celestia continued her investigation, and Purple Marten and Corporal Trotter planned the invasion of Equestria. Applebloom and the Apple family had to deal with a couple unexpected visitors in my Equestria dreamscape.
Applebloom grumbled and muttered around the lantern handle in her mouth as she trotted out the front door of Sweet Apple Acres.
Why did she have ta go out ta the toolshed and git the pipe w...
A study sketch from a couple days ago. This is what Applebloom's outfit looks like at the end of Could I have a minute or two of yer time if she takes off the shirt and vest.

While Celestia confronted a new problem an older one continued to grow in my Equestria dreamscape.
Corporal Trotter/Drone 992 stepped out of the bright afternoon sun and into the dimly lit but bustling the coffee house. Scanning the crowd it took him a moment to to spot his handler Purple Marten sitting alone in a booth at the back of coffee house. Weav...
Okay it's time to get back to scheduled Equestria dreamscape postings.
The sounds of Manehattan nightlife rose from the streets below and seeped into the dingy hotel room through the cracks in the grimy windows that made the outside world look like some disturbing impressionist painting.
However the pony writing away at a rickety old desk wasn't there for the decor. By the quavering light of a battered oil lamp Phoenix wrote her ...
A scene from last night's foray into my Equestria dreamscape. I wanted to get down on paper right away today. This is not part of the current dream arc which will be resuming this week on Patreon.
The clock in the hallway chimed midnight as Count Snowmane entered his study to retrieve a book from his library. The light from his horn and the pale blue glow of Luna's moon seeping in through the partially drawn curtains were the only illumination in the room. Everythi...
After spending most of the day recovering from last nights Picarto stream I am finally getting around to posting this. I want to thank and for going through that ordeal with me. Note to folks. Where we were yesterday was hotter than Death Valley California. 110F At the start of the stream. Even the A/C in the studio could only blunt that so much!

Tonight I'll be working in colored pencil, plus I'll be giving a post Crunchyroll Expo report. So join me for an evening of art, stories, and good times. The fun begins at 5:30pm Pacific.
A couple of sketches I did on my last Picarto stream. They are of Yukari Akiyama and Miho Nishizumi from the anime Girls und Panzer Wikipedia .

This more I hit another milestone when I got my 800th follower on Twitter. As with previous milestones Petina decided to once again enlist Fluttershy's help for the celebrations. However I think Fluttershy needs to clarify a couple things because Petina seems to be getting the wrong idea about rodeos in Equestria.
Applejack removed her signature Stetson hat and worried the brim for a moment before speaking.
"Pinkie Pie is the sweetest pony ya all will ever meet! She'd never hurt anypony or thing on purpose!"
AJ eyes got a slightly haunted look. "That was before 'they' got a hold of her. When the portal opened and the darkness came through Pinkie was one of the ponies they caught first. We were able to get her back in a day or so, but, but...
