I attended a reptile expo, there were many kinds of animals to see. I took a photo of some chameleons on a branch. Funny I drew a picture called “Chameleon” almost 8 years ago!

Drawing cat
Drew this based on a Louis Wain painting I saw on Pinterest. I just love his shifty eyes!
Panther
Like many of you, I, too am stuck at home because of the recent crisis. I’ve been doing requests for my followers on Deviantart and this was one of them.
Ten of Cups
The latest in my series of tarot cards and the first piece of artwork made on my new computer!
Violet the Bunny
This is based on a furry friend found in my backyard, I gave them the name Herman, but my niece called it Violet, so I decided to draw a picture of our acquaintance for your and my enjoyment.
Justice
Just a cute, if not weird looking puppy!
Happy Halloween
A little gift for everyone!
The Great List of Music Genres and Artist Examples
For a while, I’ve been working on a list to show examples of different music genres, partially based on those lists telling you what Pokemon or My Little Pony you are based on music genres. I’m basically listing each known genre, with three unique examples of each (I know some of the more famous ones fall under multiple genres). It is a WIP, feel free to give me suggestions, complain, or what not.
