love you,
toshi

it's toshi #9: shed


I have noticed lately that everything in jenn's room is becoming much closer to my own color (bluish-grayish). I think it is because my fur is on it.

love, toshi.

it's toshi #8: vegetables


hello everyone!

i love vegetables. a guy i met before named jonathan gave me lots of really big carrots a while ago, so i drew this picture of myself with those carrots to thank him, and so he knows i got the carrots.
i hope you all eat carrots too, they are good for you. go and get some now and eat them.
love, toshi.

it's toshi #7: cardboard


hello everyone. it has been a while since i have posted a comic, because jenn is lazy and does not scan things for me, no matter how much i nibble her laptop wire.
it is getting cold at night, and i really like that. jenn put a box on the floor with a towel in it, i am not sure if it was for me or not. maybe it was to keep me warm? i like the cold, so i ate it.

have a good day today.

it's toshi #6: baths


hello everyone.
i thought i would draw a comic about my baths today. my neck is not that long, because i am a rabbit. but i can get a couple spots very clean.

i also have bad spiders in my house that look like this -
they are called brown recluses and are very poisonous to rabbits and humans and dogs too. does anyone know how to make them go outside? i would love it if you could tell me on my blog comments page. or if you like jenn you can tell her maybe.

thank you for reading, bye!

it's toshi #4: noses


good morning everyone! it is a hot day, and i don't like it.
i made this animation for you. it is not very good, but this is how my nose moves. please click on it to make it work. i don't know how to make it work on the blog, because i am a rabbit and i do not know very much about computers.

how is everyone? are you eating enough pellets and vegetables? they are good for you.

have a good day, toshi

Toshi will update on weekdays if he feels like it (Mon-Thurs), and i'll probably just update on weekends. Ciao!

it's toshi #3: nanas


hello everyone.
jenn seemed a little sad today. i hope it was not because i got excited about eating a nana chip (they are my favorite) and missed. what i tried to eat was not a nana, i think it was her finger.
i am eating dinner now so i will go. i love you all, thank you for reading.

it's toshi #2: dogs




hello everyone.

today i have been sleeping in my cage and eating pellets - it has been a good day. i drew this comic about charlie the dog in my house. i don't really understand it. it follows the people around and always sleeps by them. people are hot to sit next to, i like the cold tile.

thank you for reading my comic.

it's toshi #1: hello

hello everyone. jenn is busy today and tomorrow, so i will update the blog for the next couple of days.
if you don't know, my name is toshi, and i am a rabbit. i live in a cage in jenn's room that i decorated myself. i live with two other humans and a dog called charlie
.
i drew a picture of it so you can see.



i have read some of a blog called 'heypais' (you can google it) and i thought it would be okay to draw some comics about my life as a rabbit. maybe you'll like them.



this is a picture of me and of jenn too. thank you for reading!

noh - hannya no usagi

"Noh (?), or Nōgaku (能楽?) is a major form of classic Japanese musical drama that has been performed since the 14th century. Many characters are masked, with men playing both the male and female roles. The repertoire is normally limited to a specific set of historical plays. A Noh performance often lasts all day and consists of five Noh plays interspersed with shorter, humorous kyōgen pieces."

japanese theater is truly amazing! if you've never seen how they dress and perform, you should really check it out - you're in for some really inspirational stuff.

In other news, jenn's fierce battle against the spider population in her house has taken a bloody (hemolymph-y?) turn - i killed one in the yard today. i regret it, and fear retaliation.

commission info







I've always felt really (really) weird about asking for money for my stupid crappy doodles. But, since I have come upon hard times, and my rabbit is eating me out of house and home (he actually eats my money if i leave it out), i figure it wouldn't hurt to put myself out there and see if anyone would be crazy enough to buy a sketch or two.

So, here's the deal. I have the prices listed (i can be flexible), and examples of most of them above - either that I have done as commissions for other people, for contests, for fun. The examples are pretty old, I haven't done anything recently - so expect better quality work. If you have questions/are interested in helping me out, email, comment, call, text, send telepathic messages, whatever.



Pencil sketch (single character, no background) - $10
Pencil sketch (with background) - $20
Inked drawing (no bkgrd) - $25 (w/background, it depends ~ $35)
Digital coloured/inked drawing (photoshop) - $35
Acrylic painting (depending on size, subject, and canvas quality) - $20-$150
Felt stuffed animals (whatever you want!) - $10-$30 depending on size

Everything depends on size, subject, and time spent. I don't like drawing portraits of people - that would be a more expensive commission than something i enjoy doing. If i'm really into the idea, I have fun, and will get it done quicker (therefore cheaper! yay!). That said, I'm not sure anyone will go for this, but I WOULD REALLY LOVE YOU IF YOU DID!

^ cell/molec lecture notes, 9/8 (lol touchpad skills)
that class is just WONDERFUL!
(internet sarcasm)



HEY! long time, no update. Here's what's up!

Classes are manageable so far - life is good! Well, except for the fact that I'm BROKE! it really sucks, and I'm working on getting a second job (as well as a veterinary volunteer-ing thing). So we'll see if that works out. I don't have a whole lot to upload in the way of sketches, but what i do have i'll get to scanning tomorrow.

Is anyone still even watching this blog anymore? shout out if you are, just out of curiosity...

And finally, the shameless plug! As I said before, I am hopelessly broke, so I will be posting commission info after this update. I have no inspiration, AND no money, so your ideas will help me AND you (right? of course i am!)!

hey everybuddy

i have a poster-size sheet of paper that has a work in progress on it. of a squid and some other epic stuff.

mondays - vet
tuesdays - off, sometimes
wednesdays - vet
thurs - sundays - work at the Hut

my summer doesn't entirely exist, but at least i'm getting an outback (hopefully).
maybe i'll finish the squid drawing soon, but i'm guessing i won't.

my bun's name is toshi. sydney was trying to eat my cats and my mom, so the breeder took him back and gave me a baby that pees on my bed, but is otherwise the sweetest lagomorph around.

that is all.

Hi everyone!

If you've been following for a while, you may recognize this one from last year. I just lazy-colored it while watching a documentary on ancient marsupials tonight, so I figured I may as well show it to you!

Today went well, although I'm sure tomorrow won't be even close.

gyrodactylus, dactylogyrus?

inspired by a discussion on frog parasites. i know it doesn't make any sense.

F. terranycteridae





It's been almost a month... school has been destroying me. I've been getting worse grades than I have ever earned, and it's frustrating!

This ^ is a mammal i just made up over the last month. It is of the family 'terranycteridae' - terra meaning, 'of the earth' and nycteris, 'bat forme'. it uses echolocation to find prey. it quite literally screams its head off while running after you. :) I'm not sure why i gave it bicusped canines or procumbent lower incisors, but we'll just go with it for now.

I've only gone through half a sketchbook since early february (as opposed to one every week and a half) if that gives anyone any scope of how much time i have had to myself. Don't give up on me, if i haven't kept in touch - jenn is in survival mode :<

I hope you all are well, if you are reading this!

dA

semi-colored versions of drawings up on my dA gallery (linked at top of page).

anyone think obama can fix an apathetic america (along with a bad health care system, schooling system, and economy)? i guess we'll see - i wish him the best of luck.

pretty sure parasites are really disgusting. but also interesting.
on about the same note, i bought the rise and fall of the third reich today.

on a lighter note, listen to iron & wine. it's good for you.

if anyone is interested in buying art from me, let me know... i have a few pieces i'm willing to part with, and i'd love a new ipod, please~! :)

back in flag! feels like home...

i have no life this semester, with two jobs and a million credits and two clubs. :)
it's okay though, i should have some time for a little doodle-ing. and this is what i'm posting today - unfinished, quick, homework! for mammalogy. i need to learn 14 orders of mammalia by tomorrow at 8am! not too bad...

expect more, whether you like it or not... i know i do! :<
