A black and white, pen and ink drawing of a headshot of Spike the gryphon, tilting their head, with a rectangular speech bubble that shows a buffering icon followed by the text, "...Friend?"

A piece I created for the AWU 2026 charity auction, depicting the moment when Spike, the newest mascot for Anthro Weekend Utah, first processed the concept of friendship and uploaded it to his memory.

I sketched this piece digitally, and then lightboxed it in pen and ink onto 9" x 12" paper and framed it.

The same drawing of Spike the gryphon in a black frame.

It sold at auction for $160, all of which will go to help animals in need!

Checkout the timelapse video below to see how it came together!
