My impression of an American beach. (Digital art with Artflow.)
This collage almost made itself. I apologize for being much too kind to a wannabe dictator.
Republicans came this close to a fistfight on the House floor. About what? They're all agreed on their top priorities: defunding the IRS so it can't catch rich tax cheats; Hunter Biden's laptop; Fauci's crime of trying to save American lives and the alleged weaponization of the FBI led by Trump appointee Wray. The circus is in town and finally has its head clown. #PolitClowns #USRepublicans #McCarthy #PolitCircus

The #illustrations for Verse 2 of my song On Top of the Moon:

Owls on the moon fly off balance / And if one should try to strike / And grab us with his deadly talons / He'd hit the moon like a meteorite.

These images go with the refrain of my song about mice living happily on the moon: See the world's loveliest face / From our home on top of the moon / They'll wish they were in our place / And sing us sweet sentimental tunes.

Advice requested: I'd like to create two new images each for two more refrains. As simple as possible, I'm learning to illustrate as the project (non-commercial, an illustrated #MusicVideo for YouTube and the Fediverse) progresses.

Pictures for the 1st verse of my song "Top of the Moon". Lyrics:

There are no cats on the moon, indeed
But don't believe it's cold and bare.
There's all the cheese a mouse can eat,
You'll never see a mousetrap there.

First attempt with #Rebelle5 #illustration #digitalart #cats #limerick

I have a cat that can't meow
What does she want from me now?
When she tries to speak
It's half croak, half squeak
I love and feed her anyhow

The German poem is somewhat different:

Mein Kätzchen sagt nie miau
Katzensprachlich entsteht ein Stau
Sie macht etwas zwischen
Quietschen, Quaken, Zischen
Sodass ich meinen Ohren nicht trau
