Today we’re drawing a white-faced capuchin monkey. These new world monkeys live in South America and have a long and storied history stretching back millions of years.

Horned toads, or as we called them growing up, horny toads, are some of the strangest little creatures I’ve ever known. These things shoot blood out of their eyes at predators. What kind of evolutionary pressure makes that a defense?

Today’s object was a delivery van. Vans come from the word “caravan,” shortened down over time. It started with the old wagon trains pulled by horses.

Native American ink and wash sketch This morning we have a little figurine, a Native American chief with his eagle staff and his peace pipe. The toy itself is labeled an Indian chief, but the accepted term today is Native American.

Today’s Random object is the Moai statues from Easter Island. These things are 82 to 80 some odd tons, 30 some odd feet tall some of them are, and they are whole beings.
