A few recent doodles. The first is some ent-love and surrealism, I suppose; the second just free flow. I am never not thinking about dragons.

The third one is inspired by an angry seagull that I met last week while in Monterey; with a captured sea star proudly clutched in its beak, it landed in front of the table where I was lunching with my mom & friend Rachel. We watched as it proceeded to poke and harass the sea star for a brief while, then took wing and disappeared. Slowly the sea star began to move its legs, rocking on its back pitifully on the balcony outside our window; we became increasingly concerned that it had been abandoned by its captor and would die in vain, uneaten. Finally R climbed out onto the balcony to toss the sea star back into the ocean, and almost immediately the seagull, screeching and angered, swooped back to express its sense of injustice at her action. A short while later the sea star had been recaptured, and this time the gull retreated to a safe distance from the threat of our tender hearts, to eat its prize in peace.
