I recently heard that raccoons are also referred to as “trash pandas.” I like name. I think there might even be a baseball team in Alabama called the “Trash Pandas” - great name for a baseball team, eh?

But this is not a panda - it’s a picture of a rabbit I found somewhere I thought it was cool too.

Good, bad, ugly - it doesn’t matter - just make marks. Just build something you haven’t seen before.

I have learned so much from copying other artist’ work - for me it’s like getting to practice speaking a new visual language.
