This month I went to Greece as a guest at the Comicdom comics festival in Athens. My kid loves Greece because it's full of feral cats, so I made this wallpaper in tribute.

We've got a plum tree but we let it get too tall for us to reach the plums, so what we mostly have is squashed plum all over the ground.

Peanuts and mealworms are very big in the chicken community.

The more I can make chickens look like small kaiju, the better.

HATE SCHOOL LOVE CHICKENS is a simplified version of a shirt my aunt got Robin for Christmas. He does indeed hate school and love chickens.
2025-04-21 18:29:21 +0000 UTC View PostThe Canterbury Tales takes place in April, so this month I did a Chaucer-inspired Skin Horse wallpaper. Tip is dressed as the Wife of Bath. One of my secret dreams is someday to get good enough at this kind of art that I can make illuminated pages for Joyce's Ulysses. I'm a long way from there, but I hope you enjoy this design. Also, as of this month I'm upgrading to higher-res desktop wallpaper options for today's gigundus monitors.

When I showed Robin this page, he said, "I wish kids were this easily impressed." In real life his friends don't appreciate a good chicken-stacking nearly as much as they should.

I like drawing insane chicken faces. They really are weird little dinosaurs.

I haven't seen it recently, but this cat used to come stare at the chickens all the time. It always seemed confused about what the heck it was looking at.

Oh no! The chickens have an audience!
One valuable service our chickens provide is getting rid of oxalis, the kudzu of Northern California. A less valuable service is getting rid of everything else in the yard they can fit down their gullets, including the tomatoes I just planted.

I wanted to do a romantic Valentine's illustration with Artie and Sergio (I guess I could say Artie and Sergio from Skin Horse, but Artie's originally from Narbonic and Sergio's from Li'l Mell) in February, but I ended up drawing candy ladies instead, so here they are in March.
The boat is inspired by the odd little boats painted by illustrator James Christensen. I have a book of his artwork that my instructor Nancy Willard gave me back in college, and I ...

I got these wooden wine boxes years ago. A guy used to sell them by the side of the road. They're good for storing artwork, too.

It's so funny when the chickens' voices change, but also sad. They're not going to be little peepers much longer.

I had fun drawing the tween chickens. Chicky already looks like a tiny adult hen.
