Whenever I turned on the television as a little kid, there was always some type of puppet ready to entertain me. Puppets ruled the land of TV. The best were the marionette’s with strings attached to their limbs. They always walked in that same herky jerky way. Kids today may love digital animation but trust me hand made puppets were a creative force to be reckoned with.
The End
This is a drawing of The End. It’s the final page of a sketchbook that is now complete. Soon I will make a video of me flipping through it so you can see what a sketchbook full of my drawings looks like these days. 96 pages.
Vegan
I might be dumb. Wait, let me correct that, I am dumb. Though even an idiot like myself can figure out that torturing, abusing, and then murdering a friendly animal such as the pig is maybe something that we should not participate in. I’ve lived the past 6 years without the animals as food thing and I’m doing just fine. Still dumb, but I feel great.
UFS
Unidentified Flying Squirrel.

A Muji colored pen doodle I did in my sketchbook.

Religion
A drawing of my religiousness.
Vase
Flowers are my quicksand. Lately I’ve been sinking into the drawing mud of botanicals. For all intents and purpose this should be the last of it but I suspect it won’t. There happens to be two vases full of flowers sitting on my dining tabel as I write this. They’re mocking me. The good news is that I have bunch of my original floral doodles for sale in my Etsy shop. Tkane9 shop on Etsy.
Fall Issue
On sale now. It is certianly not easy having my every fashion choice publically scrutinized but I don’t have much of a choice. Thankfully I rarely faux pas.
Lurch
I continually lurch from drawing in large sketchbooks to small sketchbooks. Then I lurch to a drawing pad where the sheets of paper can be torn out. Most folks don’t realize the amount of lurching I do. My skull is a bit rattled by getting lurched all over the place. As you can see, this drawing is a perfect example of a lurch. It’s done in a small sketchbook. So the next time I post, I’ll probably be lurching to a large, further scrambling what little brain tissue I have left.
Oil Spill
We are always told not to worry about oil pipelines. The petroleum companies love to announce that with today’s technology there will NEVER be a leak or pipe break. I for one, always believe what they say. So I was more than shocked to hear that over 100,000 gallons spewed into the Pacific ocean and washed ashore in Southern Califonia. I instantly thought, fake news. Even if a few drops did get out somehow, which I doubt, people should not get all up in arms. After all, the California Brown Gaspumphead is a bird that thrives on gobbling up crude oil. So relax do-gooders, all is copacetic. The stuff will be cleared in a few hours. Here’s an illustration of a Gaspumphead I recently did for the Audobon Society.
Exstinction
Recently federal wildlife officials announced that 22 additional animals should be declared extinct and removed from the endangered species list. This is happening amid a worsening biodiversity crisis that threatens a million species with exstinction, many within decades. Human activity like farming, logging, mining, and damming take habitat from animals and pollutes much of what’s left. Climate change adds to the peril. They also announced that the most threatened animal today is a feeble, aging, semi-blind, vegan artist named tommykanedotcom. He does dress nicely though, not that anyone will remember that detail about him after he skips town.
