Michael H. Cannon is a retired Navy Chief Illustrator-Draftsman. Currently doing goofy art and illustrations.
I predict that one of the SCOTUS justices will retire before the end of the year. Probably announced before midterms but definitely if it looks as though the Senate will flip. They'll want ram through a conservative just prior to the swearing in of the Senate.
Fae Pg 55 it's a Faerie Matron or a Fairy Godmother? Tried something different for skin tones in an attempt to soften the wrinkles. Not sure I'm happy with how it works. 30x Replay: youtu.be/lVVU8OY6vIE YT Short: youtube.com/watch/5FvMtB... #drawing #fae #pixie #faerie #blueskyart
Fae page 54 For this one I just felt is was time for some whimsy so just a simple pixie enjoying some banjo playing. 19x Replay: youtu.be/i00GzCbA6kw YT Short: youtube.com/watch/LCIy0E... #drawing #fae #pixie #faerie #blueskyart
Fae Pg 53. I saw one of the "draw me" reddit post but they specified to draw them as some sort of mystical creature. So I made them into a dark fae. 28x Replay: youtu.be/RdSRWAXoAEE YT Short: youtube.com/watch/UROuwy... #fae #faerie #pixie
From an "Aloha" drink & draw to tie into the annual Aloha Festival. This old and young version of a wahine is not anyone in particular, she's an amalgam of features from multiple references and and my own whimsy. 31x replay: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmwH... YT Short: youtube.com/watch/wHOF8u...
I made a comic book about the damage of being groomed/SAd as a minor. The complex nature of trauma and how it can live in your body for the rest of your life. There is hope. Anything is survivable. You can find the book and my work at tessfowlerart.bigcartel.com
Part 1 of a diary comic about my ongoing existential dread. The diary comics are coming next month. The book is still available for pre order at tessfowlerart.bigcartel.com

An artist friend, PraiseJesus Artis, made a Short/Reel responding to why, as a Black artist, she doesn't do African-American art. Her response was "Honey I am African-American so therefore everything I do is African-American art" and I love that. I paraphrased her response a bit. #blueskyart
A Final Fantasy themed beach day. Somewhere along the line I got the characters mixed up and put in Cloud when I should have been Zell. Thankfully the commissioner was very cool about my gaff. I felt bad about the mixup so I sent along a Zell to "explain" his absence. #finalfantasy #MastoArt

Took a shot at Bandit Lady, Merr the Storm. From the Wandering Inn book series. Paper didn't want to cooperate with me, so the nasallabia fold on her left and the philtrum bleed. I tried to clean up the fold, just left the philtrum dark. #thewanderinginn #merrthestorm #Mastoart
The recent Wandering Inn chapters starting around 10.72 have been Horns focused and made me want to draw Pisces. It's almost a "How it start / How it's going" I scanned the line art in case I messed it up with the watercolor wash; it's not watercolor paper. #thewanderinginn #blueskyart
With Lanterns now out we had Lanterns themed drink & draw. I decided to draw Aaron Pierre's John Stewart but in a more tradition Green Lantern suit. I don't know why I insist on drawing portraits because all I see are the mistakes, it's almost a masochistic endeavor. 1/2
Love seeing all the Dolly images across my feed today. Just wish they weren't in memoriam.
We lost a light in the world. A message from the family of Dolly Parton #DollyParton
'm a bit late posting. Last week's drink and draw topic was ballpoint pen art. Out next topic is Lanterns, so I drew a Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) but in the more old school comic costume. Then, because I had time I did quick Moon Girl sketch. #ballpointpenart #haljordan #moongirl
an actual Forbes article title: "Cookies Made From Plastic Bottles Could Ease Food Shortages, Feed NASA Crews In Space" years of warning about microplastics in our foods.. Eff it, let's just make the plastic taste good.
Wanted to take a shot a drawing Redscar. The 2nd in command of the Redfangs and the Flooded Waters Tribe. #thewanderinginn #redscar #goblin #blueskyart
Jeffries having private meetings with Kushner isn't all that shocking. He was already feckless. So bending him the knee won't feel much different.
It's sad how much the military as declined under it's current leadership. They're more concerned with shit like this than things that improve morale, readiness, and efficiency. www.military.com/navy-may-ren...
Navy Reportedly Working to Rename Carrier Honoring Black Pearl Harbor Hero Doris Miller, Possibly With Trump's Name
Doris Miller manned a gun he was never trained on at Pearl Harbor, becoming the first Black American awarded the Navy Cross.

Soylent Green may have been dystopian fiction, but when you look at the current U.S. administration it seems way to plausible. This random thought sparked by trump's temporary lifting of tariffs on ground beef. When asked where the beef will be coming from he said he doesn't want to say.
It's been over year and still miss having Taylor Tomlinson on my screen weekly. And the eclectic mix of comics that After Midnight brought on. #taylortomlinson www.youtube.com/watch?v=vauK...

So he started a war with Iran for the oil, er I mean democracy for Iranian people, or was it to keep them from getting nukes, or whatever b.s. he's claiming on whatever day. THEN they blocked the strait of Hormuz and started tolls for passage. And he was like, wait, you can do that? 1/2
