A little cartoon beaver eating a log.

I felt I had to finish my Zoom doodle from earlier today. I'm going to delete the earlier one because ecch.

Good advice. I'll admit I haven't made that page a home to the extent that I ought to have.

Thanks again!

Thank you very much! I don't have a website yet, as such. Just a few blog pages of artwork to share to try to get representation and other work. Like this one:

Another book dummy image that I decided to drop.

They should roll out a red carpet and give you carte blanche creative access to do whatever you want to do. This is frustrating.

Thanks very much, Mo! That's really nice to hear!

I'm from Pittsburgh, and I remember that guy.

We need to think outside the box. What is Duran Duran doing now?

If he doesn't wake up tomorrow, this will be the best he's ever felt in his life.

This is amazing. This will be a great show!

Whoa, Alabama. 💥

Birmingham-area activists put up a Trump–Epstein billboard on a busy highway: “What’s the big secret, fellas?”

Thanks, Jon. I appreciate it. I'm at the point of imagining chest pains now. The stress is bottomless.

Fake jobs, ghosting, fake interviews, and applications that don't even result in auto-replies.
I don't know what to do at this point. I feel like everything is about to turn around, but it just hasn't yet. I don't know what to do.

I need some help here, folks. Give me a job or something. The job market is just broken right now. A couple of things that I think look very promising have yet to land, and I just can't survive this way. LinkedIn is choked with people with similar or identical stories.

This fluffy cat wears a snug costume that outlines the real shape of his body under his fur. He's also so full of static electricity that he can stick to the ceiling. #kidlitart #kidlit

An affirmation from Dagobah.

These checks will be sent out with the DOGE checks

They asked for the code number on the bottom and the name and location of the store, but I wasn't given an apology or any promise of quality in the future. I think they expected me to have saved the can or something.

FYI, if you're ever drinking an Arizona iced tea from a can and a phlegmy wad rises to your lips (as in the photo), take a picture of the bottom of the can whenever you write to tell them about it. If you don't, they'll pretty much ignore your complaint. #arizonatea

The second in those warmup drawings I mentioned. Good ol' Ben Grimm. This guy is fun to draw! #marvel #warmup

This level of blind worship borders on the homoerotic.

Options = opinions

You don't get anything for free when you're drawing comics. I had to try out three hair lengths for this kid and still couldn't decide on one. I made this comparison image and sent it to a couple of people for their options before I made up my mind. #kidlitart

Exclusive | RFK Jr. to Oust Advisory Panel on Cancer Screenings, HIV Prevention Drugs The task force determines which preventive services insurers must cover at no cost to patients.

⚠️DARK DARK DARK—Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is planning to remove all the members of an advisory panel that determines and mandates what preventive measures insurers must cover. Removal of USPSTF means we are about to enter a very dark era. ➡️Mega insurers like United Healthcare are gleeful right now.

I think I'm going to start warming up with some character portraits. Maybe bad guys exclusively. Anyway, here's this asshole, Green Goblin. #comicbooks #marvel
