I apologize for the shitty resolution, my printer is broken and it nearly crashed my laptop, somehow. I hope my drawings aren't too cringy...Follow me on:

Your drawings are FAR FROM CRINGEY. I love this. Perhaps "love" is the wrong word. But this is truly eloquent. Well done.

That birthday present you made me last year, despite it's simplicity, is one of my all-time favorite pieces of art anyone has done for me. Infact, if it didn't say "Happy Birthday" on it, I would use it EVERY DAY as a comment graphic. I love it so much! I have even though many times of commissioning you for some more art. Maybe I will. Let me just state unequivocally, Sam, you are a talented artist, a brilliant comic wit, and sweet person, who I consider a privilege to know. Don't be so hard on yourself.

That is indeed the very one I mean. It is a simple drawing but it captures my ESSENCE so well, and i just love it so much that that was how you see me in your minds eye. So if I was to commission you for one, very similar just holding a big sign that says "Thank You!" that I could use as a comment graphic, what would you charge. I have points i never use anyway. If it turns out nice I will probably ask for more "Barosus emotes" from you. I would would even make a favorites folder just for them and use it all the time. I seriously like it that much. I have always wished i could use it in comments, but it says happy birthday to me, and I didn't want to alter it myself, since it is your art.

Okay. I definitely want to. I will note you the details for the first one and we can go from there.
On a side note, since you like bears, I will tell you a true story of when I met a bear. We surprised a wild black bear one time. it was long ago, before cell phones, but I wish we could have captured the moment on video, because we were all laughing so hard at how bad it got scared.
I was working for the National Forest Service at the time, just as a summer job when I was seventeen. A small work crew of us all were heading out to do some trail maintenance in the Cherokee National forest, so far back in the mountains that it was almost an hour drive from the Telico ranger station out to the trail head. Because of the steep walls and winding curves of the mountain road, you really couldn't see or hear vehicles coming around the curve right before the pull off lot right at the trail.
We were all still half asleep at just before 7 AM when we rounded the final corner. We all woke up really quickly when we saw a big male black bear was taking a look in the chained up trash barrel right ahead of us. The poor bear was so startled upon seeing an enormous 5 ton forest-service-green super cab Chevy Silverado work truck suddenly charging at it that it practically leapt like a jump-scared cat.
I imagine, to a bear, the glowing head lights (it was still pretty shadowy down in the forest valleys) must have looked like the blazing eyes of some giant angry predator charging to either defend its trash can prey, or eat the bear himself. It took off for the nearest woods. The problem was the nearest woods started at the top of an overhung hillside, scooped away by natural erosion about ten feet high of bare earth before the extending tree roots stabilized the soil above. The trail itself had a small set of stairs to traverse that obstacle of sheer slick mud of nice red Tennessee clay (it had just rained the night before).
It never occurred to the bear to use the stairs because it was so scared. It tried to furiously claw its way up the hill, got almost to the top before gravity said, "Ummm, not today, sucker!". The bear's moment slowed to a stop. For a few seconds its fore paws tried scratching for purchase midair as it slowly began to topple BACKWARDS. We were so close by then that we could see its eyes. They were wide as saucers, bulging in panic. It was flailing its legs at turbo speed to no avail as it began to roll almost in slow motion head over heels back downhill. You could see its ursine brain having that perfect "Oh____" moment as it realized it was going to fall.
Bears are kind of round and roly poly looking anyway, so to see a full grown black bear rolling head over heels downhill with mud flying everywhere as it was spastically flailing about, was just like watching a living cartoon scene unfold in front of us. The bear landed flat on its belly at the bottom of the hill. When it got back up, it had a perfect mud stripe down its back as it it had been run over by a muddy tire. It jumped back up and clawed up the hill even faster since, by then, we were just parking nearby , laughing our heads off (it was that very trail we were coming to work on).
That second time it made it to the roots at the top of the incline, dug its claws in and scrambled off into the woods at break-neck speed. It was probably a helpful lesson to the bear actually. It is a good thing that they not get habituated to finding food in human trash. That is what leads to problem bears. It was so funny that if we could have caught it on film it would have gone viral for sure. I wish I could just show you. However, you, are highly creative so i am sure you can imagine it. ^_^

If this isn't the ultimate mood, I don't know what is.
