You better watch out

And you better not cry. You better not pout, and here's why: he sees you when you are sleeping, he knows when you're awake. He knows when you've been bad or good, and he knows these absolutely kickass parkour moves, deployed for the purposes of handing out presents, spreading Christmas cheer, ensuring the potential recipients of gifts are well-behaved, leaping from snow-blanketed rooves, and vaulting fences. So be good, for goodness sake.

Happy Leap Day!  My quadrennial tradition: reposting my mirror of Jay Pinkerton's Superman Origin Comics - laugh out loud funny (but sophomoric and a tad foul mouthed)

Thank you so much to all my patrons for supporting me through the month of February, and please welcome my newest patron (and a top patron no less!) Luka, aka, Musiquil!

This month's sketch was once again suggested by Patroclus! They had a great idea to incorporate Leap Day into this month's thank you image, with Little Nes and Irwin jumping together, and well, since we only get that chance once every four years, I thought I might as well go for it now! I'm really glad I did, because I love how the drawing turned out. xp

(Irwin's pose really reminds me of Goku for some reason.)

Malachi 4:2 (NLT) - “But for you who fear My name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture.

Bealtaine | Watercolour

I was lamenting the fact that I had intended to make a Bealtaine piece to accompany my Imbolg hare but didn't get 'round to it before the day... so no time like the present! Blessed Bealtaine to you <3
