Now courtesy of my dad I have these little #Alabama-shaped wood magnets. Need to think of good ideas for what to paint on them. Anyone have any nifty suggestions or requests?

I was really just practicing my lines and crosshatching, but it’s almost as if I had something on my mind while doing so. You can see it get better from the top, to the right, to the left side. 😅

Work in progress. You can see my crosshatching get better as I go clockwise around the page 😅
Image is a white sketchbook page, with a big scroll drawn in black ink, and lots of crosshatching I did in brown in around it for practice. The page reads,
“THE FIRST AMENDMENT
IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE SECOND!
NO FASCIST USA.” And I have drawn the words “The First Amendment” in pseudo-calligraphy.

Because I NEED to replace my falling-apart car… I am feverishly adding more products.

*please note that shipping on this one will be delayed because it still needs to come from the printers.

COZINESS UBER ALLES! Fridge magnets. I made the third one this weekend to go with the first one, then made the second one as kind of a translation hint for people who come in to my shop who don’t know what “uber alles” means. I love making these and just can’t stop!
