I’m just being honest… 😈

Dear Authors,
When writing lawyer characters: lawyers have specialties like doctors. You don’t want a corporate lawyer handling your child custody case any more than a OB/GYN doing your spinal surgery.
Thank You.

However you can get your kitty snuggles is valid. When my cat was too shy to snuggle, I would walk around my neighborhood and pet my neighbors’ outdoor cats. 😸

I found a new character! I don’t know yet what his story is, though… 🤔

Things we don’t talk about:

1. Bruno
2. What happens in Vegas
3. Fight Club

My current favorite YouTube genre is Europeans attempting to make (and reacting to) PB&J sandwiches.

A stray clip today reminded me I need to watch A Hard Day’s Night again soon. I’ve seen it countless times (literally - I stopped counting after 11 or so), but it’s time for a rewatch. #inspirationsunday #beatles #classicfilm

Because it’s #caturday. #drawing #pencilsketch

Anybody remember ScriptFrenzy? NaNoWriMo’s page count little brother? I participated in the first one - I still have the t-shirt.

Two page spread of the manga “Clover” by CLAMP. Page 1 contains 1 small image and three dialogue balloons. Dialogue in order: thanks for the offer. Do you like to sleep, I can forget when I’m asleep… page 2 contains one image of a winged victory style statue as seen through a window, and one dialogue balloon. Balloon contents: … forget I’m alone.

The page layouts in “Clover” are *so* spare. You don’t have jam your pages with drawing if you don’t want to. Like silence in music, the white space on a page can contain more emotional information than the images sometimes.

Cover of Clover by CLAMP. It shows a white haired waifish girl with tiny mechanical wings in a black lace dress kneeling against a mottled dark green field. Opposing corners are decorated by bronze art nouveau clover vines.

Inspiration Sunday: When I started my comic making journey “Clover” by CLAMP was hugely inspirational. #booksky #manga #inspiration

Happy #caturday!

I’ve gone back to a script I wrote ten years ago. I believe in mining abandoned projects - and this one seems more promising than most, especially since I actually finished the story. #writing #scriptwriting #stories #fictionwriting

I love tiny gardens like this. So beautiful! Molds (slime and otherwise), moss, fungi…

Since this account is new, I had to draw a new self portrait. Do you know how hard self-portraits are for someone who rarely does them?! #drawing #art #selfportrait #blackandwhite #pencil
