As much as I love being in New York, I definitely wish I could teleport to California for birthday parties! I don’t think the Mexican restaurant at which they celebrated gives out birthday sombreros, but I thought it might be cute.

I’ve had a Donald Duck model sheet as my desktop background for ages; this is my favorite, somewhat surprising pose.

Who has flat feet and has posted to this site daily for a full year? [Awkward roundhouse kick] This guy!!!
On the left are some drawings from 2011, 2012 on the right. So my improvement has been…subtle. If nothing else, I’ve improved my ability to draw quickly and with less frustration. My painting skills are noticeably better. So is my gesture drawing ability. Animation, sadly, has fallen by the wayside, but only because it’s so freaking time-consuming. I still love it and aspire to make a go of it.
Anyway, I know I have a very small core of readers, 50% of whom are my parents, but I’d like to thank everyone for their encouragement over the last year. Even though I generally raise a big skeptical eyebrow to compliments, your response has driven me to forge ahead with my harebrained “get rich slowly” scheme to become the Grandma Moses of my generation. Grazie mille.

This is just on paper, but about 20 years ago I painted this exact same Bugs Bunny pose on my bedroom wall.

No idea why this idea popped into my head!

One of my periodic tests of my ability to eyeball a cartoon model sheet. By the way, if you’re the first person to put the name of this famous kitty in the comments, I’ll send you the original drawing! Suitable for framing and/or kindling.
