I digress....

Hi! Welcome to DAY 1 of the April Art Marathon!

I knew that this week is going to be ridiculously busy so I’ve been writing gags for a couple of weeks. Turns out — now that I read my list, APRIL FOOLS! I don’t get them! Maybe the jokes will come back to me… but for now, you are spared THOSE.

I did have a good gag for today, but I decided to loosen up my drawing juices by inking my very favorite food. Oh yes, the donut or doughnut. Did you know, just like eating them, it’s hard for me to stop drawing them??? Then I couldn’t stop thinking about them and their relationship to other things …so maybe these will offer a chuckle or at least a “Huhn. hmmm.” Yes, my mind does wander a bit…

Bon appetit! or if you’ve given up looking at pictures of donuts for Lent, wait a few days.

Obviously, I was thinking about how the doughnut received its name…And just like the Buddhist Enzō — my thoughts brought me right back to the donut.

Thinking about the donut and hex nut led me down a nutty path… and so I went back to drawing donuts.

I don’t mean to typecast. I might not love all donuts equally, but I’m pretty sure I accept them all, (except for maybe the ones with bacon on them— I share that one with anyone who wants it). As I was drawing donuts, they just started to have personalities so I labeled them. It’s just a label, they can change their labels if they reach sentience.
