I USED TO VOLUNTEER AT THIS ZOO EXTENSIVELY!!!

This was a really cool enrichment project that allowed our orangutans to interact with the public in a way that was safe, engaging, and most importantly on the orangutans' terms. There is a button on the wall that the orangs could press and would douse visitors with a quick spray of water, and was especially enticing on hot days!

So the handsome fella on the sign is one of the male orangutans named Bajik when he was a kid. Bajik was a very playful and mischievous little guy, and figured the button out pretty quickly. Visitors learned of this and would point to the button to try and get him to press it so they could get a shower, and Bajik would SIKE THEM OUT. He'd go up to the button like he was gonna press it and get visitors all excited BEFORE RUNNING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION!

It really is incredible, getting to know these animals on such a personal level. Visiting certain animals is like visiting old friends, and really puts into perspective how similar we are with our close cousins. I'm happy to announce that Bajik is now a proud father, and has learned parental skills from his father, Boomer. Boomer was the first male orangutan ever documented to provide parental care to Bajik, playing with him and carrying him around as a baby/child. And it appears Bajik learned these behaviors, and is doing the same for his firstborn son, Fajar. I've known Bajik and his mate Leela since I was 13 years old giving talks at their enclosure to visitors. I'm very, very proud of him and Leela for being such wonderful parents.

Here's the handsome man nowadays! (Photos courtesy of the Toledo Zoo)

And of course, his little one, Fajar.

Is this a threat?

Celebrating John Mola’s birthday in grand style, with a side of #StarTrek!

We had a fun pre-birthday Saturday adventure for John in Toledo. Beyond phenomenal lunch at Souk Mediterranean Kitchen & Bar. And then lovely, educational behind the scenes tour at The Toledo Zoo (pics prohibited alas). And it was 8000 degrees so we were wiped. Nap time 😴 And thank you to Robert Duncan McNeill – Star Trek Voyager’s Lieutenant Tom Paris – for this lovely birthday video message to…

back from the zoo about to work on the clock and stuff.

my aunt revealed to me that Jamie Farr apparently gave a guest lecture to her in college?? like she was in a drama-related course and her professor knew Jamie so he just. came in one day. did a Q&A.

what a time. the zoo was fun btw. now i go back to work.

after this is finally fully 100% put to bed, i will be working more on writing and on doing QUICKER sketches that are in my personal style. im not putting paintings away forever, my brain just does better with smaller things that take less time and i am slowly withering away the longer i spend on 1 piece [i dont even do real lineart anymore, i just refine a sketch layer. cannot stand to spend time on the same part of something for so long]

in summary

someone do this to me. not because i want you to hold my hand but because my wrist belongs to an 80 year old now and i want you to fix it

clock will come tonight

its not that exciting but idk incase someone wants them for a desktop background they can have a version with and without clock. someone is also me, perhaps.
