SCIENCE!!!

I was talking (texting) with my friend Donovan one day, and he was saying that he had gotten too much sun (him being pasty), and then jokingly (at least I hope it was jokingly) said "Messes with the mind! Right Dr. Penguin?"
....Then this happened...

Piratey Whales! YAAARRRRRR

A much cuter, kid friendly, version of the Whale-Tooth Pirates. This time a actual Orca, Sperm Whale and Harbour Porpoise, instead of a society of people who have based their lifestyle off of them.

YARRR!! Toothed-Whale Pirates!

So, as I was expanding my knowledge of animals via the Wild Kratts TV show, I learned there are two categories of whale.
Toothed Whales and Baleen Whales.
aaaaaaaaaand then my brain said "HEY! LISTEN! TOOTHED WHALE PIRATES THAT PREY ON THE PEACEFUL BALEEN WHALE PEOPLE!!!!!!"
and I said "......k"
So this particular crew is made up of a Orca (Killer Whale) Captain, the big guy in the back is a Sperm Whale, and the little guy is a Harbour Porpoise.
I shall shortly be posting a more cartoony,animaly version, since when I told my nephew I was drawing Pirate Whales, this wasn't what he was expecting.

Grade 7's Psycodelic Elk Walk

CAUTION BRIGHT COLOURS!!!
This is from the last class I taught.
I drew out a walk cycle of an elk and gave the individual frames to the grade 7s to paint. They were only allowed to use shades of the primary colours (although some colours did get mixed)
I didn't tell them what I was doing with the final pictures. I then showed them this video. Only one kid figured out before the rest it was a walk cycle.

Jackalope: Mythical Warrior Rabbit of the West.... or something.

So I was reading Sherman's Lagoon the other night, and in this one strip Sherman brings home a stuffed Jackalope, and he tells Megan (his wife, if you don't read the comic) that "It's the mythical warrior rabbit of the west"
..............
And then this happened.

Jacks Awesome Song

Just in case you missed it:
Awesome, Awesome, Riiiio, Awesome.
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome, Awesome. Awesome, Awesome,
AWESOOOOOOOOME, HUM, hum, Awesome, awesome,
SPIDERMAN!

A continuation in random recordings of my nephews. The next one will be of my one niece.

Grade 7's Poster

 

So I told the grade 7's I was teaching, I would draw them a picture for their classroom.

I asked what picture they wanted, and they all at once started shouting things.

Robot

Unicorn

Troll

Creeper (from minecraft)

squirell

A guy holding 2 swords

A girly Faerie

Gargoyle

PeguinOctopus

and Dinosaur with the lower half of a Lion

So instead of choosing one thing to draw, I just drew them all.

The Unicorn and Troll are from my Beastly Alphabet for Beastly Children book that i'm trying to get published.
