    Yesterday I did the dripping blood as a transparency on GIMP2. Today I did the eye as a transparency on InkScape and moved it back to GIMP2 where I combined it with the blood as added an artist mark with a little extra flourish. Remember the artists mark is usually part of the art nowadays.

    A friend asked me to draw a bunny. It turned out looking more like a dog to me. I received feedback that it also looks like a butt to some viewers. That was not the intention this time, but I do regularly hide images into my art in ways that are sometimes subtle and sometimes…
