Did a figure construction demo at @emeraldcitycon.bsky.social that turned into a finished ink sketch! This will go up on etsy in a few days, or if you want it right now, it’s yours for free if you make a $300+ donation to the trans law center. transgenderlawcenter.org/donate/ DM me to coordinate.

This week's episode: Robin meets the Shark Tank ...because Harley wants her to, that's why. Scored by Frank Zappa and Moon Unit will make you realize we haven't changed much in 50 years. youtu.be/lKB-c7uHmGw?...

It was going on one, two in the morning, and we were shooting what I felt was an important scene for me, when he makes an attempt to be quote-unquote straight, in a suit, and at the end of it he gets emotional and locks himself in the other room. And I felt like, I’m not getting what I want—I’m not happy with it. Mike was happy with it. He called me the next day and said, “I know you weren’t happy with the scene last night. Believe me, we wouldn’t have gone home if I had felt we weren’t getting it.” And then he sort of became my psychiatrist and said, “You find it difficult to be happy, don’t you? You find it difficult to enjoy things.” And I said, “Well, sometimes. Last night was about feeling too tired and not feeling I was reaching what I needed to reach for the scene.” He talked to me then about when he was making, I don’t know whether it was Virginia Woolf or The Graduate. He said, “I didn’t enjoy it for a second. I was worried about so many things.” And then he said, “You know, this is never going to happen again quite this way. You should try to allow yourself to enjoy this more. Take a minute a day, and then add a minute the next day, and another minute. Pretty soon, you’ll have hours of happiness.”

The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.

This week’s life drawing features a covered figure. However, that doesn’t mean it will escape the trigger label/warning that the term “figure study” seems to automatically elicit.)

It’s even more baffling when you consider Luca, which has definite LGBTQ themes. It’s one of my faves, but again Pixar flinched and denied that it’s about anything but friendship.

But it’s an undeniable tale of coming out.

2 things:

I dream job would be designing weird MOTU characters. I would have a ball

I think doing a zine where a bunch of artists contribute a MOTU new character would be the next best thing.

BIG CATCH-UP UPDATE! Hey folks! It’s been a little while! I got sick, I recuperated, I set up at my favorite comic show (NOICE in, Norfolk), I recuperated some more, and before...

A big ol' email newsletter with lots of art and a link to cheap commissions!

Stylised cityscape painting in shades of blue.

City. Ink on watercolour paper.

The Miracle Worker.

That’s combo is such a good vibe, it’s probably like slipping on a beloved hoodie on rainy day. I might do the same, tbh.

I convinced Carrie Brownstein,of sleater-Kinney, to listen to nothing but Phish for a week.
