Working hard on a new painting! This one’s going to be a Christmas-themed one, in case you couldn’t tell by the holly and the red bows. An Aston Martin would be a pretty rad car to have in my driveway. I’m not gonna lie.
In a previous post, I stated that The Odd One Out, now known as Interstellar, would make more sense when I completed it. Now that it’s done, I’ll leave it to you to decide whether this picture now makes more sense. In the video below, I show how I made this painting of a “teacup solar system”, so to speak.
But, why beverages in space? Well, the simple fact is that we really have no clue what’s out there in the universe. The universe is vast, and we’re just ants living in it. There could be all sorts of random stuff floating around in outer space that we haven’t seen yet. The stuff we do see like floating fireballs (stars) and “horse head nebulae” don’t really make sense to us. So, why not a teacup solar system?
Despite the absurdity of the universe, I’m able to appreciate its inherent beauty. If I see something that I find odd, I don’t try to understand it. I just appreciate the fact that it exists.
Part 2 of completing Dragon Fish. Enjoy!
Did you know that koi fish can sell for >$1 million in Japan? It’s not surprising. These are easily the most beautiful members of the carp family. Going by what I’ve read about ancient Japanese folklore, koi fish could transform into dragons, as evidenced by the “whiskers” on their faces.
Plus, they remind me of the beloved pet goldfish that I had in Kindergarten! Whether they’re sharks or koi, I’m a sucker for fish. Simply amazing creatures that come in a variety of colors, sizes, and shapes, almost like underwater birds. A fish’s intelligence and cognition are very impressive, too.

How I made Blossoming Sunrise. The hardest part of this was getting this horse’s anatomy right. I might’ve made him a little too chunky…
EDIT: Adding part 1 to this post. (Mistakenly uploaded the 2nd part. Yikes! What a spoiler)
When Pinky (the baby), Patty (2nd biggest), and Melvin (the biggest one) need a breath of fresh air, standing on top of a mountain does the trick.
I, of course, need a breath of fresh air from obsessing over Thanksgiving dinner myself.
Oh, Stu. This guy can’t get enough of beef or bacon jerky, nor can he stop himself from stealing stuff. Okay, he could. He just chooses not to.
What do you expect from a shark? Charity?
Honestly, the entire Pointer clan has an uncontrollable appetite and an unrivaled hunger for meat, being monstrous sharks and all.
But, none of them are quite as greedy for dead flesh as Stanford is…
It’s really impossible to know what’s going on with Stewart’s eyes most of the time. But, it’s certainly possible to know absent-minded he is.
Stanton is probably the most rational of the family. How ironic is that he’s the only one who snorts out snot when he laughs…
