At 9:13 on October the 8th, I had just let my dogs out and was standing on the porch when I heard something crunching in the woods near my house. The dogs barked and ran back to the door. As I turned to look toward the direction of the sound I was startled by a tiny creature with 4 wings and a frog face that flew up to me fro...

In this post I am going to share my favorite materials for drawing "under-the-circumstances". This is something I developed out of necessity after having kids, while trying to maintain a work/life balance of watching them as babies, and also keeping my job. Now that they are older and less prone to climb g...
