Cookie butter naps

In continuing efforts to paint myself as a sugar-crazed maniac, I submit that sometimes, one needs to eat cookie butter for breakfast.

Non sequitur Tilapia. Drawn from life in our office basement art club.

Finally, an offering of tasty cover songs.
Bang Bang – Monophonics

un-gif(ted)

One day I aspire to transform simple line drawings with such style as can be seen in the Monster Engine.

Until then, behold the sticky note wizard lady!
