Hi, folks! I'm celebrating the unnamed American country holiday by partaking in a uniquely North American dish: a Navajo taco made by local Navajo folks.

It's been so long since I drew anything on paper, & I'm way late. #inktober day 1: ring. My av in feline form has bells on the end of her tail, & I never showed any detail of how the band (ring) holds them on.

This is my home desktop, where I just finished making a much simpler signpost-like desktop icon theme, and I'm going to start my write-up with this.
