Daily Creativity: Pondy Bear #PondyStrong
I drew this #PondyStrong bear earlier today, had it scanned in and saved by 5pm, and for some reason I thought I had already posted it. I didn’t. So here I am at 3am posting this lil guy. My friend is going for his second round of chemo this week. A bunch of his friends and supporters are sporting art he has created and taking pictures to show him their support. I though what better for one artist to another to show support than creating art in their honor. I have Scott Pond art on my walls (art prints, not just the posters, cause I’m cool like that) and have his book and books he designed the cover of on my shelves. I also have had good conversations with him about art, including things like where to get good art prints, how to display art at a show, and other nitty gritty non sensational topics that artists need to know. I wish I could be there, or do something more than send support online, but I am sure the majority of his friends feel that way. So for now I will doodle and click the heart reaction on his photos and comment on his status. Till I can hug him again. Also, Fuck Cancer.
To help Scott with medical expenses please donate to his GoFundMe.
I drew this with a fountain pen using Diamine Purple Pizzazz ink and then used a watercolor brush to paint it. This isn’t the best scan, but I am working on that. My scanner sucks, I replaced a broken one with a bad one and have a new one on the way. Scanners are the bane of my existence.
