BJD Dolls Visit Pet Store + Dolls Playing
This pet store themed video is based on a terrible visit I had one time to a particular pet store in the US. The prices were too high. Nobody in their right mind should give 1000 bucks for a dog. A horse maybe, but a dog never. In the old country, animals were a lot cheaper. I am talking about good quality animals, like cocker Spanials. Not that it matters much. If folks be willing to pay an arm and a leg for a status symbol, then go ahead. Most folks who I have met that own expensive pets just...
Resplendent Quetzal Anime Drawing
I made a nice any drawing. This is based on a pretty bird called the Resplendent Quetzal. They are native to Chiapas, Mexico. There are two subspecies of this pretty bird. The bird is the inspiration of the plumage the god Quetzalcoatl. The bird is near threatened, but there are effort for preserving their habitat. A lot of humans love to do eco-tourism to see the bird going about its life. As for mythology, the bird feathers represent freedom and wealth. The Mayans thought that Freedom and Wealth went hand in hand. I think a lot of today folks would...
Masquerade and Snow White Anime Drawings
I was bored and so I made two anime drawing videos. These two took a little bit of extra planning, and preparation. I also drew a simple background for the drawings.

The anime drawing video should already be up and about. The second one is going to uploaded eventually. I was thinking at first to make another holiday themed drawing. In the end, I settled for making a...
Anime Girl Playing the Banjo Drawing
It was bound to happen sooner, or later. Behold! The Totally amassing banjo. Nice, sturdy, and with a sweet lyrical sound. Yes, I admit it. I love the banjo. Everyone alive should play the banjo. The banjo was invented by the slaves in the 17th century, in the Caribbean. It was invented by folks from West Africa. It eventually made its way to North America in the 18th century. The earliest depiction of the banjo is from an old 1795 painting. It is called The Old Plantation by John Rose. The word banjo is derived from the Kimbundu word Mbanza....
Valentine’s Day Tango and Mermaid Drawing
I finally got around to making another Valentine’s Day themed drawing. This one features a couple dancing tango. I thought it was an interesting romance type of anime drawing. I used a photograph as reference. I then changed the humans for anime characters of my own design. I also changed the color of the tuxedo from black to blue. I think the blue tuxedo adds a little bit of color to the anime drawing. As with these types of marker drawings, they come with a Youtube video. They are going to be embedded in Artsy Sister as soon as I...
