I draw and write for my own entertainment and therapy.  I purchased a modest Wacom tablet and am self-teaching  myself digital art along with practicing traditional drawing techniques.

I post my little works now as a scrapbook of my progress and interests.

I am in the Winter of my years and drawing is one of of my near-retirement hobbies; it works hand and hand with my other surprise hobby -- becoming a Furry.

I always liked to doodle,  but only do it off and on.  Mostly I drew in the margins of notebooks and sometimes on real sketchpads. Pencil and paper are my favorite medium, and I haven't really figured out color.

I built models of WW1 and WW2 aircraft and armor as a child, I also built model rockets and static spacecraft and was a casual Trekie.  I have a love of B movies and loved swords and sorcery, and was enamored with Tolkien.  I played D&D and did historical recreation in the SCA -- making my own garb.

My art and hobbies were mostly put on hold in my adult years (25-55) while I was struggling to keep a house afloat, doing elder care and attempting to manage my own life and mental health issues.  There was no passion, just depression, anger, and anxiety.

During the boredom of Covid Lockdown, I found out about Furries and they were a perfect escape -- blending my lifelong love of Hanna Barbera cartoon characters, fantasy elements, Star Trek (specifically, The Caitain race, ST: The Animated Series 1973-74).

I decided on becoming a dog, took a Beginners Art Course to knock some of the rust off my skills and made my fursona.

I found DA and Fur Affinity and joined so I could look at all the art work and I added my own to the pile.  I tried to keep the furry stuff on FA, but there is a lot of crossover.
