Another one that showed up in meditation.

Koi

Trying some negative space painting.

The Giraffe

Another digital painting, again from one of last year’s poems. Though a completely different style this time, obviously. In a pleasant bit of irony, the font used here is called “The Happy Giraffe.”

The Owl

Last year I wrote a bunch of animal poems for NaPoWriMo, with the intention of eventually illustrating them and maybe even making a book. Life got crazy and sidetracked that project for a while, but here’s one of them, finally.
