That tech? Worth it.

Life is so weird. I started Thanksgiving off early with my very first trip to the ER, and the next day I'm back working. I'm fine now (apparently I passed the stone at some point), but the world truly stops for no one or nothing.

It feels really weird to have had two good workouts in a row. I think it's literally been five years since I had even one good one. Definitely a feeling I've missed.

It's tough to remember what I've posted at each place. But here's one I drew of Bill Walton earlier this year after his passing. I got to meet him a couple of times when I was a kid, and he was delightfully exactly who he was on TV at all times.

Welcome, twitter friends 👋

And get rest going in. It took me forever to learn that. Do not stay up the night before trying to finish one more thing. Tired you isn't the best you, and cons are exhausting anyways.

Don't worry if you don't start selling stuff right away. I assume I'll sell nothing before noon - people frequently want to take a trip around the con floor before they start spending. Also, if the show seems slow, that means it's time to network. If you can't make money, make contacts.

Oh shoot, guess I should reintroduce myself. I'm a figurative artist from the PNW. I've made my own small press comics for 30+ yrs. I dig dogs, rasslin, Blazers, Braves, loud rock music. I do tax returns during the day.

Who knows how this stuff works? Ha ha!!!

Understand why media coverage of politics is the way it is, and why.

A drawing I did earlier this month for the Draw or Die Club Promptober - the prompt was

Hey there. Still trying to rewire social media habits - which means trying to give sun & water to the places that aren't actively crushing artists beneath their boot heel. One such place is Substack, but I'm also lurking around Cara & here from time to time. Trying to move on from the Zuckerverse.

Finally drawing consistently again. Lately, I've been drawing vintage baseball players, and blogging a bit at the stack. I'm gonna give this another try, though

Also: there is a very high chance that you will not be able to survive on comics income alone. I am begging creators to have sustainable other income streams that provide regular pay and health benefits, even if it means you can only make half as many comics. It also makes you less desperate

A pin-up I drew as extra material for my (and Nick Reddoch's) Zenjeff collection.

New Substack!

The least excellent part of social media is when you start from scratch and don't know anybody.

just got my hands on the Epstein list and I’m shook

Happy new year's. I'm trying to be optimistic, but it's an election year, and I expect madness. Maybe this will be the year that yelling incoherent, half-baked thoughts at strangers will finally work.

Without downloading anything new what's your energy going into 2024?

A digital drawing of some dude who declared bankruptcy. I'm not sure what else he's famous for.

The banana pudding is in the fridge, performing the alchemy that only an overnight rest can provide. Since I don't have any family around, the Christmas burrito tradition will have a skip year. I won't be alone tomorrow though.

I hope everyone has a merry Christmas, we've earned it.

Got my Xmas present to myself today. I don't hate drawing on my Surface, but it's a little crowded for my taste. Gonna fire up the Kamvas tonight and see how it works.

First post. Sometimes I draw things, like this. #bobross
