June 4, 2022

A MerMay from a few years ago.

Younger folks may not remember or even know who Ethel Merman is. Take a gander at this for some old timey goodness! You’re welcome!!!

Another late MerMay.

Drawing mermaids… and mermen is addicting. Thought I’d squeak another one in before MerMay is over!

This may be the longest I’ve gone without posting. Allow me to remedy that with some bugs.

Feeling anxious and full of self doubt, (more than usual,) this past week. So thought maybe I’d monster it up and attempt to rhyme myself out of it. Kinda worked… oh, and it’s October, so, you know…

Funny, I thought I made this up, but according to the Googles, purrmaids are a thing… and I’m glad they are!

Super Hero

April 2, 2020

So, I was chatting on FB with my very witty friend, Sharon about how much sanitizer and other cleaning chemicals we’ve been ingesting lately and she said:

“I feel like that should turn us into superheroes, right? Like “Sharon Kaplan ingested a chemical cocktail during a global pandemic, and now her blood is 91% isopropyl alcohol and aloe vera. Her superpower is that EVERYONE CAN HUG HER!””

We thought that might make a cool graphic novel. Very short of that I made a single drawring.

My apologies to Sharon!
