Mixing another song to prepare for a video.
If you have videos, photos, or artwork that you'd like featured in one of my videos, let me know. I can always use more content. Not guaranteeing I'll use it, but it beats looking through public domain images and videos.
Also, should you be a poet, I'm always interested in putting poems to music (with some poetic license to rearrange the poetry - for example, by repeating phrases, or, as I've done before, by creating a hook). The next post, perhaps the next 2, I'll be making is someone's poem put to music, an example.
I have 0 ideas for what to use for the video for the song I'm mixing. I'm off to a great start!
I'm loving this combination of inks, so I'm playing with them in a turkey tail mushroom inspired pattern in today's #inkyDays drawing. I also started on on watercolor paper, based on today's drawing.
Here's an in-progress shot.

Cats are such contortionists! I wanted to play with complementary color contrast here to make the orange cat fur POP. Had a ton of fun painting this! It's called "Shrimp Cat."
Thanks to someone in Oregon for choosing a canvas print of this one. This is one I have on my own wall so can vouch for the choice.
Find this on Etsy (US) and Pixels (most locations and additional print formats).

I have been painting this forest scene, was quickly happy with the colors, but drawing the shapes of the ferns and other drawing problems came up and forced me to take a long time until I could quit this. At least I learned one way to paint ferns now :)
This is absolutely the most amazing story I've read in a long time

Just to show how my art has improved over the years:
