This year I drew jolly ol’ Arthur wheeling a wheelbarrow full of lucky shamrocks. Drew him in his old farm clothes before he was forced into the army. His favorite part of farming was gardening. He would of been glad to give anyone gardening tips.😁

Archibald Campbell The Ninth Earl Of Argyll is my 11th Great Grandfather. I found out through Ancestry. So cool to see a post about him! Saved this picture from the Ancestry app a few months ago.
Archibald Campbell, 9th Earl of Argyll was born on February 26th 1629 at Newbattle Abbey near Dalkeith.
Campbell was an energetic supporter of the royalist cause during the 1650s. His father was executed for treason in 1661, and although he was imprisoned, the new earl was released and restored to his titles and estates.
A member of the Scottish Privy Council and an Extraordinary Lord of Session,he was condemned to death in 1681 on a highly dubious charge of treason and libel, he escaped from prison in an almost comical way, that any fool could have saw through, leading me to believe that the guards were possibly bribed.
His daughter-in-law, Lady Sophia Lindsay, obtained permission to visit him in his confinement. She brought with her a servant who, she claimed, had recently been in a rather serious fight, resulting in severe facial injuries. That of course explained the bandages in which his head was entirely swathed, completely obscuring his identity. If you can see where this is headed, you are more astute than the entire garrison of Edinburgh Castle! The naïve-seeming scheme was to have Campbell swap clothes and wigs with the servant, wrap his head in bandages, and simply walk out of the building with Lady Sophia after her visit.
The Lady, demonstrating what must have been Oscar-worthy acting ability, left Campbell's quarters in floods of tears, and was escorted by her "servant" back to her coach. Outside, Campbell ingeniously climbed onto the back of the coach rather than into it, preventing anyone from realising that he was a member of the aristocracy by proving that he could maintain a grip on a moving vehicle. Once outside the Castle's bounds, he slipped quietly off down an alleyway to a friend's house, from which he was smuggled under the name "Mr Hope" down to London.
After his escape, the Earl disappeared for much of his remaining life. Naturally, as a fugitive (and now actively engaged in resistance to the coming succession of James), his location was kept a closely guarded secret, although a few letters revealing his general location and activities remain.
However, he returned to Scotland in style in April 1685, at the head of an invading army supporting the Monmouth Rebellion against James II/VII (who had taken the throne in February, following Charles II's death). He made several raids, which varied in success between "fleeting" at Inverary and "utterly pointless failure" at Greenock.
His forces gradually dwindled until he was left with only his son John and three friends. After being refused shelter by an old servant, they were arrested in June 1685.Campbell was immediately re-tried and sentenced to die exactly as his father had, beheaded at the Mercat Cross in Edinburgh twelve days after his arrest. Surprisingly, he was again allowed a visit by his wife and daughter-in-law prior to his execution, although this time there was presumably someone on hand to check that neither of the ladies leaving the premises after their visit were other than they appeared.
I guess for my first post on here, here’s a collage of a lot of the characters from different cartoons that I draw.
Every year, the Art Fight website has a spring event called Sprout Fight. I decided to participate for the first time. It was pretty fun. The prompts I used for this frog drawing were Ribbit and Pond, and I used the Lotus Flower color palette.
The deadline to submit an entry is on May 1st. You can read about it in their latest news post on the website if you’re interested.

I haven't 2D animated in a minute, so I made some small walk cycles of the hospital crew for fun ^^
