A Prussian blue swirl spiral on white background with a red orange hat and green lines radiating. Top left a blue teardrop shape. Very messy, sketchy, more for the action than to be seen.
From my sketchbook this week. More for the action, rather than to be seen. Acrylic on paper.
I'm not giving up.

Very amateur acrylic painting of a brown hen holding a sign that says resist joyfully. It's not the worst chicken painting I've ever seen but it is vaguely disconcerting in some way I can't put my finger on.
terrifying 2016-ish ? era chicken art of mine.

Pictured are two vintage steel fence spikes about 6-7 inches long against a steel background. One is rusty and the other has been twisted and shaped into a scribe for marking sheet metal. It is sharp and pointy with a black patina. Also good for killing zombies.
