video of a pheonix haboob. a haboob describes a weather event in which a collapsing thunderstorm exhales a burst of wind. this burst of wind, or outflow, collects dust in the surrounding arid environment, which can grow into a towering dark cloud that sweeps across the landscape. 

haboobs are common in the desert southwest and the middle east, where the term originated. (habb is arabic of wind) they are very localized phenomena, as opposed to dust and sand storms, which tend to cover more territory. of note, the plural of haboob is haboobies. (video)

Inspired by something I saw today

Added some contrast to my speed painting.  Really liking how the succulent came out, but still not 100% sold.  I may tweak it some more before finally calling it done.

Day 6 - Costume. We’ve hit the sore throat period, it’s an annual tradition for me to get ill at least once through Drawlloween.
