Be thankful you do not have to pluck, and enjoy the day.

Day 25 of our 30 Day January Challenge was to make instructions that no one will ever need. Apparently, when artists are outlining useless instructions they are at their very best. The last one is my personal favorite, but there were so many great drawings to post, the last one is a long, long, long …

I’ve shared most of Carlos San Millan’s favorite paintings by Emil Joseph Robinson but not all, and these paintings are too good to pass by, so I’m sharing the full collection.
