I drew this robin from life. Every day he sits in the bush outside my house and bellows about how trans liberation necessarily means an improvement in the material conditions of everybody, starting from dawn, and ending when he sleeps.
This time last year we had a baby robin coming into the garden each day. She was lovely in that slightly dopey, tatty, baby way. She soon had her own spot on the fence where we put her seed, slightly away from the grown up birds. As she grew up from a messy little tawny scrap to a little round red breasted adult, she began to get more territorial, fighting chaffinches, sparrows, and even a wood pigeon once. She went from shy to demanding, and if she happened to see me go into the kitchen she would stare into the window until I came out to feed her.
This morning I saw her with her own little tawny scrap of a baby. They were on her bit of the fence under the holly bush and, pausing only to chase away a siskin, she was feeding her bairn. I was very proud of her. Hopefully I’ll get a couple of pictures at some point.

Here’s a doodle of Jason Todd that came out of trying to learn how to use Clip Studio Paint. I ended up really liking it a lot and decided to slap on some colour!

The Robins are splintered after the events in the graveyard. On their own and on the hunt for the distributor of the SKP Tech, the former sidekicks are on the warpath, tearing through Gotham and Blüdhaven following any and all leads. But while the Robins descend on the criminal underworld, where has Tim Drake disappeared to?
This artist is amazing. All the pieces are accurate renditions to each of the boys’ personalities and experiences during their time as Robin, and how much they grew.
It’s mind-numbing and goes straight to your heart.
