    I stepped onto the once familiar campground. The air, filled with the scent of pine and the sound of the nearby rushing creek, now seemed quieter and smaller than it once was. The campground of my youth, a place that had been a canvas for countless adventures and the backdrop of my childhood’s happiest memories,…

    We’ve been watching Forged In Fire as a family. If you’re not already aware, it’s a great show. 4 blacksmiths show up and make knives in just a couple of hours. Typically with steels or techniques they haven’t used before. Then the judges smash their knives into things in an attempt to either break them…

    Here’s a cute little robot of a fella showing his affection. Drawn in pencil, then digitized on my iPad using ProCreate.

    The song from The Greatest Showman plays in my head often. Mostly just because it’s a beautiful and moving song. Party because of the emotions exhibited by the singer, and partly because of the moment where it comes in the movie. And while I love the song, it has mostly been a sad song. It…

    This is part doodle… part CSS animation experiment. What you see, is a still image (a PNG), animated with CSS. The shadow is just CSS too. Cool! As is often the case, this was drawn on my iPad using ProCreate.

    Life is like a river. At the top of the river sits a beautiful and perfect pool of water that is crystal clear. Drinking from that water renews and refreshes anyone who drinks. The aquatic life that swim and live in that water live forever and are continuously happy. Out of that pool flows a…

    Heavy dust hung in the stagnant air. A stench of dying flesh mixed with oils and fragrant perfume permeated the cold stone walls. Pitch black was pierced with slices of light cutting through the suspended dust. Nothing moved. No hope. Only death. Suddenly a sharp sucking breath split the silence! Life! Sitting upright, the body…

    I was drawing this during church thinking it was pretty random. When I was done though, my daughter said, “hey, that looks like Pastor Brent, if he had a big nose”. It’s not what I was going for, but in hindsight, there’s definitely some resemblance. 🤣

    Does it strike you as strange that Black Friday is the day following our day of thanks? It’s almost like someone doesn’t want us to let our thoughts dwell on how good thing are currently. They would have us turn our minds to all the things we want instead. Black indeed. May this Thanksgiving pale…

    This guy seemed like an excitable fellow that should stand at the bottom of a page looking up at some exciting text perhaps.
