Congratulations Orion!
Somehow we have arrived at the point where my oldest son graduated high school (I'm not old, YOU'RE old). Another parent organized a little retrospective for the students in slideshow form, which required digging up lots of old pictures. There was also a request for "secret" pictures of family congratulating the graduating seniors as
Mother’s Day Card 2021
This year's card was a bit of a challenge compared to previous years. Well, they all have had their challenges, but this one had the extra burden of what setting to use. In more recent years, I've been using photos from things we have done and places we've been to compose the cards, but
Thea The Little Witch Book 6
Another book cover for the patron saint of my art: L.S. Gagnon. The forest was a challenge with this one, and I probably could have spent double or triple the time noodling away at it. This cover is also the first time I've painted dogs that I can think of, or such a young
PMD Smile
A couple of weeks ago, Clip Studio Paint announced one of their semi-regular illustration contests, with the them "the best smile". I don't enter hardly any contests (I can't remember any, really, unless you count submitting to Spectrum, but that's not really a contest), but I figured "Plunger Monkey has a good smile..." Shortly
PMD Xmas Card Envelopes 2020: Plunger Medical Face Mask
This one went to one of my best friends from college, Cat, and her wife Kim. Cat is an amazingly talented artist, and I always look forward to the card she sends us each year. Cat and Kim have become huge PMD fans and Cat even did some "fan art" and printed it on
PMD Xmas Card Envelopes 2020: Plunger Lightsaber
One of my other best friends, Bill, and I share an intense love of all things Star Wars. It was one of the early things we bonded over when we first met through Jorj. It's not uncommon for us to devolve into Star Wars nerd talk or to make random Star Wars references on
PMD Xmas Card Envelopes 2020: Plunger Drum Sticks
I sent this one to one of my best friends on the planet: Jorj. We met back in college, and he was part of a small, tight knit group of artist friends I had. I consider him family. We always have had a good connection, even when we go years without seeing one another.
PMD Xmas Card Envelopes 2020: Plunger Cookie Cutter
My dear friend from high school, Tracey, is a multi-talented woman. She's a skilled jewelry maker, a great artist in general, likes to garden, and is pretty handy at home renovations. She also likes to cook and get her young son involved in the action, too. She's another great friend I haven't seen in
PMD Xmas Card Envelopes 2020: Plunger Chinup Bar
It's no secret I'm an exercise junkie, so this image is appropriate in that regard. However, I sent this to my dear friend from college, Rebecca. We have exchanged xmas cards almost every year since college, though we mostly lost touch outside of that. I think last year my card got returned, as she
PMD Xmas Card Envelopes 2020: Plunger Belly Button Lint Remover
My older sister, Aimee, has always had a great sense of humor, particularly when it comes to all things burping, toilet related, or even belly button lint. I love it when something gets her laughing so hard her face turns red and she can barely speak. She also likes a good plunger joke. I'm
PMD Xmas Card Envelopes 2020: Plunger
This image is an homage to a Calvin and Hobbes strip by one of my art heroes, Bill Watterson. I sent this to one of my best friends from high school, Pete, and his family. We grew up in neighboring towns, but shared a lot of common interests and hobbies and also a lot
PMD Xmas Card Envelopes 2020: Plunger Quiet Maracas
I sent this one to my cousin Cheryl. Our families grew up in the same town, just two streets away from each other. We all went to school together and frequently hung out on the weekends (I have many fond memories of us all playing Commander Keen at her house). I think she and
Please let me know what you think, it makes my brain happy.
