Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010)
“My life has been regulated by insomnia,” Bourgeois told an interviewer in 1993. “It’s something that I have never been able to understand, but I accept it.” Bourgeois learned to use these sleepless hours productively, propped up in bed with her “drawing diary,” listening to music or the hum of traffic on the streets.
“Each day is new, so each drawing—with words written on the back—lets me know how I’m doing,” she said. “I now have 110 drawing-diary pages, but I’ll probably destroy some.

“Every day you have to abandon your past or accept it, and then, if you cannot accept it, you become a sculptor.”

My character Kixxy Kittles has a major crush on Furrball from "Tiny Toon Adventures". The tall pink cat behind them isn't the Pink Panther. He's an old character I created from "Toon Town Rewritten" named Felix Gumdrop.
Tried my Poscas on a sheet of toned tan paper in my sketchbook, and doodled up this cute rubber hose like bat character enjoying a nice Halloween night while being carried by 3 spooky/funny jack -0-lantern balloons.
A more accurate version of a Bonnie mask; this time actually based off of a specific animatronic (classic Bonnie). It's empty this time. Drawn with FireAlpaca.
I don't know why I love drawing birds so much, I just do, and it's always small ones like Finches and Canary's...here I added some froggies coz they're fun to paint too...
