Just A Little Portrait Of My Dog. His Name Is Moose And He's A Love Sponge.

The head of a big brown Rhodesian Ridgeback dog. He's lying on his side on a granny smith colored background. His eye is soft and brown and his black nose is very shiny. The ear tip on the ground is tucked under his head.

Just a little portrait of my dog. His name is Moose and he's a love sponge.

A black teenage girl stands sideways pointing a Wild West pistol at the camera. A round lilac sigil glows around the muzzle. The sigil's outer ring is filled with triangles. The inner circle is filled with five circles with dots in the middle arranged in a pentagon. The circles are connected by lines. A black poncho billows out behind her. Two violet straps studded with bullet holders cross over her chest. She wears a white long sleeved shirt and brown pants. A black cowboy hat with a violet ribbon shades her stern eyes and sterner expression. Her black dreads wave in the breeze. Behind her, the red desert sand stretches to the horizon which ripples in the fading heat of sunset.

Introducing Violet Death, the most terrifying teenage gunwitch in the whole West. Her truth bullet will make you spill your guts-- in both senses of the phrase.

A dark blue werewolf silhouetted against a full slightly orange moon in a dark blue sky. Their ears are back and they're looking down sadly at their right hand's claws. Written on an arc above the moon is "You're a Werewolf" in scratches. Below the moon on an arc is written "and I'm a full moon." The lyrics are from "Be Nice to Me" by the Front Bottoms.

I like werewolves. I like song lyrics. I see song lyrics about sad werewolves: I draw. Lyrics are from "Be Nice to Me" by the Front Bottoms.

In a dark room, a blue wall of photographs of human eyes from people of all different ages and races looms. The eyes are all focused on a teenage girl, visible from the knees up. She's lit from the right side by moonlight from a window, off screen. She's looking over her right shoulder, crushing a flashlight in her right hand. Stylized glass pops out. Left hand hangs by her side. She's wearing a red hoodie and blue jeans. Her spiky, black hair is pulled back into a ponytail. Black claws sprout from her fingers and gray fur from the backs of her hand. Gray wolf's ears with fluffy white insides twitch towards the viewer. She frowns and her white, sharp teeth are visible. Her yellow eye with a red iris looks directly at the viewer.

All eyes on you.

A blobfish sits on the sandy, purple sea bed, illuminated by the light beam of a submarine. Its thin tail is green-blue and another fin of the same color waves down from the base of the tail to the mid-back. The body is a soft gray and triangular. Two fan-like fins frame the face on either side. It is bulbous and like the rest of the body studded with small white bumps. Its eye is small, black, and gleaming with quiet knowing.

A deep sea friend: the blob sculpin. These are also known as "blobfish," which won the price for world's ugliest animal a few years back. Why doesn't it look like the blobfish you've seen on the internet? With bulbous noses and frowning lips and pink flesh? Those blobfish were dead and photographed after removing them from their seabed homes (1,600 to 9,200 ft deep) in the pacific. Reeling them up causes their bodies to rapidly expand because of the pressure change, which causes them to become pink and bloated. This blob sculpin rests peacefully on the ocean floor, staring up at the light of a submarine that illuminates it. Soon, it will swim off into the dark, hunting small crustaceans.

A woman lies on her stomach on a bed with lavender sheets and pillows facing towards the camera. Her tank top and sweatpants are sage green. Her long black hair falls over her left shoulder. A speckling of black ink dots both shoulders, and her one visible hand is stained with ink. She looks serene as she eats a page that hangs from her mouth and stains her lips with ink. A sage green book, open and with half its pages missing, lies before her. Three books( sage green, light green, and gray brown) lie in the bottom right corner, all their pages torn out. On the left side of the image is a bookcase with books in the same colors as the ones on their bed, all their pages torn out. The wall behind the woman is light blue.

She's having a good time, learning a lot, and trying to satisfy the endless hunger.
