Tigress in a backyard observing chickens.

Tigress in a backyard observing chickens.

I was able to do a commission for @ramonwilhelm.bsky.social ! He wanted this painting and provided me with wonderful photos of the chickens and yard. I'm glad he liked it! It was an ambitious piece that I think I accomplished.

Slapped some colors on this with my Beam Paints watercolors.

I should use my watercolors more.

Good job. This fits well within the book; scary, but not overdramatic.

(Beartato and Reginald, in a museum, gaze upon the Mona Lisa)

BEARTATO: There it is. The Mona Lisa. The most famous painting in history.
REGINALD: Wow! What's it do?

BEARTATO: It... what?
REGINALD: Why's it famous? What's it do?

(Beartato thinks.)

BEARTATO: I don't know.

REGINALD (to nearly museum employee): Excuse me! Sir? What's it do?

EMPLOYEE: You're the first person to ask! Watch this!

(The employee yanks a pull-string. Mona Lisa's eyes spin around and her mouth opens like a puppet)
MONA LISA: Honk honk! Honk honk!

(Everyone is delighted. This is true art.)

A little bluebird stands on a tipped over flour jar pointing accusingly at the goldfish on the counter. Illustration from the picture book Hazel & Herbert by Alexandra Thompson | Putnam 2026.
