I have literally been counting the days as though spooky season is my salvation month.

Inktoberish!!! I don’t really DO inktober. I try to draw something in ink each day. So that’s it. Wasn’t much feeling it today. Mood crashed so I cobbled the drawing up in ten minutes. Blarg. But I DID IT! That’s what counts. #drawing #penandink #journalling #journal #bulletjournal #art

That’s how I feel about it. It’s the same with Nanowrimo. The discipline and challenge is the important part, not the organization itself.

Announcement for any poor weirdo who might be following my nonsense: I will be attempting the challenge of Inktober - but not the organized thingy as I understand that’s a wee bit toxic. I might not get far as wifey and I (the Artsyhouse Collective) are up to our eyeballs in second wedding planning

@meganleebees.bsky.social OOOH!!!! Cozy horrors???? Please tell me more. My wife is basically obsessed with creature romances and I would absolutely love cozy horrors!

Indeed. Glad I did the work.

Yeah… some days you can’t even be bothered to turn on the other light to take a better picture. Some days are just making scribbles on a page and just barely being alive.

Laudna!!!!

Same

Not much for today. There was meant to be more. Then Mom called. When Mom is 4000 miles away you answer and you do your best to cheer. Unfortunately, I suck at cheering. #drawing #opus #journaling #penandink #art #bulletjournal

once in a while the odd thing happens,
Once in a while the dream comes true,
And the whole pattern of life is altered,
Once in a while the moon turns blue

I feel this. Art helps. Journaling helps. Books help. Escaping from the soul sucking doom scrolling also helps.

Art comic doodle of Skeleton Mage and Shark! 3 panels! 1. TV: But Sir, doing this without due process is a crime.. TV voice 2: I don't care what you call it, we're doing it ANYWAY! 2. Shark: Are you okay? Skeleton: No, not really... 3. -Skeleton and shark with a lollipop each-

I don't know what to tell you. Things are just really dark and gloomy in the world right now. Every day seems to be a new misery unfolding.
Be kind to each other. 🍭🦈💀

You can do the thing!!!!

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Wow!!! Congratulations!

Well… for reasons mostly political… I have chosen today as Hulk day because reasons. I’m quite tired of a certain someone being lionized and celebrated. So there’s that. But also don’t feel like throwing oxygen on that fire cuz it’s a waste of time/energy #Drawing #journaling #bulletjournal

I decided that today will be another Panda day. I’m trying to arrange my themes in advance rather than cobbling stuff together at the last minute. #drawing #pandas #pencil #penandink #journaling #bulletjournal #art

So… today was not a grand day for artistic stuffythings. But I did it. And that counts for SOMETHING right??? RIGHT??? Anyway. Todays page is Witches. #art #drawing #pencil #penandink #ihatemyart #journaling #bulletjournal #isuck

I decided that today was spider day in the journal. And let’s be brutally honest… I kind of phoned it in. But I do like the spider Cowboy… #drawing #penandink #journaling #spiders #bulletjournal #art

I want pizza…

New Journal First Entry!!!! The Artsyhouse Collective challenge, as I mentioned previously, is Tribal Housecat. And then I drew some other stuff. One critter courtesy of Berkeley Breathed and then a goblin dude. #drawing #journaling #art #penandink #bulletjournal

New month. New Journal. Maybe I’ll be a little more consistent with it this time… don’t hold your breath… #journaling #artsyadventures #bulletjournal

Right? And the only fuel they require is your enemies!

Good lord! Your cat looks like it could be the cousin of my cat Spoon

Decided today was Dragon Day. We do have a new challenge for the Artsyhouse Collective: Tribal House Cats. I’ll get to that tomorrow… #drawing #dragons #journaling #bulletjournal #art

Definitely way better. Particularly the dragon.

Welp… The Artsyhouse Collective is between assignments at present so I’m up to my own creative devices. Probably a terrible idea… #masseffectart #journaling #bulletjournal #drawing #art #mixedmedia

No Artsyhouse Challenge today. Just a great big bad mood of brain mumbliness and a stinging gout of bleh. I should get that checked out… #art #drawing #bulletjournal #journaling #penandink #anxiety #screamingintothevoidwithcatsinsunglasses #screamingintothevoid

The new Artsyhouse Collective Challenge is… *drumroll*… Penguin Cowboy! Okay and I threw in a bit of Berkeley Breathed Homage in there too. Because I fricking LOVE BLOOM COUNTY!!!! #drawing #journaling #bulletjournal #mixedmedia #dontknowwhatimdoing #art #penguincowboy
