It's raining! Listen to the frogs! The bird saying 'no hope' faintly in the background is an inca dove.

I know it's hard to see, but this tiny blob is a bat!

‪Finished another shield. This one is 2 foot wide and not a door hazard. Made of wood, cloth, metal, and rawhide. The boss in the middle was made by someone else. ‬

Little hard to see, but this is a tarantula hawk I saw this morning. They hunt tarantulas to lay their eggs on, stinging them so they stay alive, but just paralyzed. They also have one of the most painful stings in the world,second only to the bullet ant.

Is this another shield? Yes it is. Bit smaller than the first one cause that one was catching on door frames and was a hazard to walk with. This one is just 24 inches and has a long ways to go still. And yes, the pattern was SUPER annoying to get on there cause it starts to mess with your head after awhile.

Bit of science today from my book, the Stone of Power.

Tech talks how to make an electromagnet. Context is the Keepers are going to shoot an E.M.P. missile at a monster that's terrorizing Pairs.

If you want to make one, take a battery, an iron nail, and some wire. Coil the wire tightly around the nail. Connect each end to the opposite sides of a battery and tada! Magnet.

This super grainy picture is of a bobwhite I saw today! These are somewhat rare, being listed as near threatened, so it was a real treat to see it near Austin, Texas!

‪Outside right now and found this tiny cicada. Beameria venosa. Here's what it sounds like. cicadamania.com/genera/species ‬

Cicadas singing in Austin, Texas on a pretty day. I really love these insects and can't wait for them to appear every year. A purple finch trills out a few notes too.

So. Where I live in Austin, I get tarantulas. I think they are spiffy. Here is one I saw on a walk.

Been busy, but here is a more recent mini I made, a Cyclopes. He's even got a sheep.

There is a scene in my first book where the heroes are approaching Earth to go fight one of the main monsters. Here is the water color I did of it. Plus, it was an excuse to do a nebula in water colors. The Keepers Approaching Earth.

Need some summer reading? Young adult, science fiction (and some fantasy!), check out the Stone of Power. Earth is caught in the middle of a war between dimensions. To save the planet, the Keepers must find the Stone of Power and use it to restore balance to the universe. Free on Kindle Unlimited. amazon.com/dp/B01NCS2TXA octodon.social/media/g4t6ezwTj

I didn't draw this, but it so perfectly describes me and why I'm a writer. Muhahaha!

Last of the chromatic dragons. Ancient red dragon. She's on a 4x4 base, but it should probably be 5x5. Anyway she's a foot tall, just small enough to fit in my oven.
