10 days ago I found a kitten on the side of the path where I go jogging. She was hiding in a patch of grass so I scooped her up and brought her home. She was healthy, just really hungry. So then we posted photos of her online and a nice family adopted her, there she is below in her new home. Her name is Cookie. I am really grateful that I had the opportunity to help this cat to get off the streets and into a new home. #cat #cats #pet #pets #animals #love #art #petsofmastodon #catsofmastodon

When I was back in New Jersey I was able to go through a lot of old artwork and stuff that was in storage for many years. Here are some sketches I did when I was living in Bangkok.

smoked tons of weed, read tons of comics, made a painting for a customer in Rome, NY, watched a lot of TV with my mom (Murder She Wrote, Columbo, Little Witch Academia) exercised a lot, saw my nieces & spent the day on a beautiful lake with my friend Colin, as well as a lot of other awesome things.

Here is one of the pieces of artwork that was made by myself that was purchased on July 5th when I was doing the Night Market in Milford, PA. It was made about eleven years ago and was in a box in our attic along with a lot of other works.

The Singapore Airport , I think it is Changi Airport, is like my new favorite place in the world. I had a twelve hour layover there and part of me wants to go back and just spend the rest of my time on earth there. Anyway, Im back on the internet, nice 'seeing' all of you again, or whatever the verb is for this technical connection we share.

We went to historical building tours , my friend Colin had an art show, I got my Social Security card again after not having one for like two decades (we were so happy when they said a new one'd be mailed out in two weeks, omg), photographed lots of quilts & artwork, participated in a live painting event, went swimming, didn't give a single shit about the America 250 thing nor the World Cup, sold my stuff in-person at a Night Bazaar for the first time ,

I also did lots of work at my mom's house and spent a lot of time outside in the beautiful woodlands of the American northeast. The flight there was 25 hours, the flight back was like at least 40!! I will tell you more about that later. It was weird, the trip back started out super shitty but then gradually got better.

When I was back in the USA I re-read a mini-series that I remembered really loving when it came out, it was during the crazy summer of the Age of Apocalypse. This series was seriously awesome. It was drawn by Steve Epting and written by John Francis Moore.

They are smaller-sized, easy to order. They are at my mom's house in New Jersey so they're easy to order. Reach out to me if you'd like these two majestic ladies on display in your home, or as a great gift to give someone else. #artist #artists #painting #art #westerns #fashion #animals #art #illustration #fantasy #fantasyart #artwork #arts #painting #paintings #artlover #artlovers #artgallery #artgalleries #nature #naturelover #bird #birds #artwork #mastoart #artistsonmastodon #artstodon

I actually just finished a new piece, a really cool spooky one, I will be posting that in a few minutes so be on the lookout for that. But yea Im still doing my thing, I have a lot of cool stuff coming down the pipeline.

@TheCentralScrutinizer Very majestic, isnt it? I was reading about the windows in this church in southern New York state and all these windows were made in Germany and shipped over to the church in the USA, not far from New York City, to be installed. I dont know who the artist was who designed this window of Joan of Arc, that information wasnt on the website for the church unfortunately.
