Texas: Six New Card Games + Playing Cards Texas playing cards and a book of new card games by San Antonio high-school sweethearts.

I just backed Texas: Six New Card Games + Playing Cards on @Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/gam...

So adult sizes of children's pj's? 😁

I'm glad you clarified. I thought the hatching looked good, but it did not look like a pepper 🫑 😁

Congratulations!

I share that feeling but am looking forward to doing some other things to recharge before starting another challenge. I like your collection. I have enjoyed looking back at this year's challenge - I can't imagine what it would be like looking at works from over 5 to 10 years ago.

They look so good altogether. You have a very clear and color rich style.

100! That's a big commitment. 61 was a stretch for me. Good luck. The Bird will still be around.

You always have such a clever take on the day's prompt. Well done!

Thanks, I enjoyed your work as well.

Here's a photo of all 61 Index-Card-A-Day cards from June 1 to July 31. It was a good challenge to come up with something for each prompt and get it done in a day. The Bird enjoyed being the focus of each one. #dyicad2025 #inkart #done

Pen and ink drawing of a bird in front of an array of 60 index card drawings. Text: sixty things I love

Last day (#61) of the Index-Card-A-Day challenge with the prompt 'love'. Using 'vanishing point' from #35 and, yes, I drew some impression of all 60 previous cards. #dyicad2025 #inkart. Great thanks to @tammy999.bsky.social

It looks like a close up of the knees of someone wearing psychedelic leggings.

Oops, it was on backerkit.

A break from ICAD2025 and the Bird to share what I got in the mail today from Annie Shao Art's Kickstarter. @annieshaoart.bsky.social If you like excellent art of real birds in sticker form, check them out.

Pen and ink drawing of a bird in front of a theatre with BIRD on the marquee. Text: Better than a statue

Day 60 of the Index-Card-A-Day challenge with the prompt 'marquee'. Only one more until it's done. This one builds off the statue scene in #42 with the prompt 'bronze'. #dyicad2025 #inkart

Pen and ink drawing of two birds, one right side up and one upside down, in a geometric background.

Day 59 of the Index-Card-A-Day challenge with the prompt 'upside down'. Inspired by #20 'reverse'. #dyicad2025 #inkart

Pen and ink drawing of a bird in a tree looking out at a pinecone. The sky is dark with a full moon.

Day 58 of the Index-Card-A-Day challenge with the prompt 'pinecone'. A revisit of #7 'midnight'. #dyicad2025 #inkart

Pen and ink drawing of a bird looking over a plain with clouds floating overhead and off in the distance.

Day 57 of the Index-Card-A-Day challenge with the prompt 'horizon'. A revisit of #50 'clouds'. For these last five, I'm looking back for redos, reinterpretations, and general upgrades where I can and still fit the prompt. #dyicad2025 #inkart

Pen and ink drawing of a bird flying away from a thorny cactus with some quills stuck in the bird's bottom. Background is dessert like with a few other cacti and a sky with a few clouds. Text: Look before you land

Day 56 (last day of the 8th week) of the Index-Card-A-Day challenge with the prompt 'cactus'. My wife was worried about the potential harm the bird has received in a couple of recent posts, but I assured her that the bird was not injured in any of the scenes. #dyicad2025 #inkart #nobirdsharmed

Pen and ink drawing of a bird flying over cloverleaf highway roads with random cars and trucks. Text: Why drive when you can fly!

Day 55 of the Index-Card-A-Day challenge with the prompt 'cloverleaf'. More detailed drawing than I planned on, but it was fun and turned out okay. #dyicad2025 #inkart

Pen and ink drawing of a bird standing on a rock in the middle of a river. Text: Chillin' on the River.

Day 54 of the Index-Card-A-Day challenge with the prompt 'river'. I'm trying to channel this feeling to survive these hot days of summer. #dyicad2025 #inkart #chill

I've really enjoyed participating and being part of the small group here on blue sky. Work's cranking up, so I'm dragging myself towards the finish line. I might do a batch this weekend to guarantee I finish.

Pen and ink drawing of a bird writing on a card with a pen. There's a bottle of ink. The card says 'Calligraphy'. Text: the artist at work.

Day 53 of the Index-Card-A-Day challenge with the prompt 'calligraphy'. Simple and quick drawing tonight. #dyicad2025 #inkart #birdartist

Pen and ink drawing of a bird in the middle of a gyroscope. Text: Birdoscope (pat. pend.). Small text: no birds are harmed in the making of the Birdoscope.

Day 52 of the Index-Card-A-Day challenge with the prompt 'gyroscope'. It was a long day at work, so you get the first thing my tired brain came up with. #dyicad2025 #inkart

Pen and ink drawing of a bird over a background of a Paisley pattern.

Day 51 of the Index-Card-A-Day challenge with the prompt 'paisley'. Bonus of a short song lyric. #dyicad2025 #inkart

Pen and ink drawing of a bird looking at clouds out over the horizon

Day 50 of the Index-Card-A-Day challenge with the prompt 'clouds'. The theme for the week is 'ink', another one right up my alley. My wife pointed out that the big cloud in the middle looks like an animal running across the sky - completely accidental on my part. #dyicad2025 #inkart

Pen and ink drawing of a bird in the middle of a mess of wires with connections from on side to the other. Bird is black and white while the wires are brightly colored. Text: I'm SURE the connections are perfect

Day 49 of the Index-Card-A-Day challenge with the prompt 'connection'. Did a base watercolor wash over the pen and ink drawing then added color and the white of the bird using Posca paint markers, then redrew the ink lines. Fun but tiring. #dyicad2025 #inkart #poscaforthewin

Pen and ink drawing of a bird driving a taxi down a city street. Text: gotta make money somehow

Day 48 of the Index-Card-A-Day challenge with the prompt 'taxi'. You may still need a day job to pay the rent. #dyicad2025 #inkart #watercoloroverink

Pen and ink drawing of a bird flying over trees and hills. Background is in color while the bird is in black and white. Text: gratitude is all attitude.

Day 47 of the Index-Card-A-Day challenge with the prompt 'gratitude'. More pen and ink with watercolor over the top. #dyicad2025 #inkart #watercoloroverink

Pen and ink drawing of a bird flying over a path that splits into two directions. Background is in watercolor, while the bird remains black and white. Text: pivot, don't pause

Day 46 of the Index-Card-A-Day challenge with the prompt 'pivot'. I had to pivot in the execution when I didn't let the paint dry enough and the green bled into the red. I decided to double-down and work the green and red together, with some blue. #dyicad2025 #watercolorrules #inkart
