This is Creamsicle. We rescued him from the middle of a busy street where he had already been hit by a car. Unfortunately, he didn't make it, but he was a sweet orange kitty that had us with him at the end.

I have been busy working on stuff I can't share yet. But here is a couple versions of an Indy Car that's going into the next Barrel of Grease Monkeys comic. Hope you like.

Based on an old Archie ad, Buckle Up And Stay Safe. I might swap this into the book or use it for advertising if I buy some space.

What do you all think?

Built this for a new book & just added it to Redbubble.
NO A.I., Monkey Control, What Monkey See!
A statement that can be used by any artist who knows A.I. is wrong when it comes to creating.

white text over a still from *Jurassic Park* showing the famous shot of Jeff Goldblum with his shirt open โ€“ the text is a reworking Dr. Ian Malcolmโ€™s quote from the movie and reads: โ€œYeah, gen A. I. Your techbros were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.โ€

An Onion front page with the headline: Congress, Now More Than Ever, Our Nation Needs Your Cowardice

Who will stand up for our democracy? This
question, fraught in even the most peaceful
times, has only grown more pressing as our
country approaches its 250th anniversary.
Each passing day brings growing assaults on
essential liberties like freedom of speech and due process.
Meanwhile, our delicately assembled legal system faces
a constant barrage of threats. Even as this issue reaches
publication, the U.S. military has been deployed against
peaceful protesters. We teeter on the brink of collapse into
an authoritarian state. That is why, today, The Onion calls
upon our lawmakers to sit back and do absolutely nothing.
Members of Congress, now more than ever, our nation
desperately needs your cowardice.
Our republic is a birthright, an exceedingly rare treasure
passed down from generation to generation of Americans. It
was gained through hard years of bloody resistance and can
too easily be lost. Our Founding Fathers, in their abundant
wisdom, understood that all it would take was men and
women of little courage sitting in the corridors of power
and taking zero action as this precious inheritance was
stripped awayโ€”and that is where we have finally arrived.
Now is not the time for bravery or valor! This is the time
for protecting your own hide and lining your pocket. Now is
not the time for listening to your idiotic constituents drone
on about whatโ€™s happening to their precious democracy.
This is the time for getting down on all fours and grov-
eling. Now is not the time to say, โ€œEnough is enough,โ€ and
have the tough conversations about resisting the ongoing
assaults on American liberty. This is the time to let the wave
of apathy and indifference roll over you as you think about
getting a really nice renovation to your house in Kalorama.
But what can I, one coward, do alone? you might ask.

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state.

That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress:

Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

It's been a really rough few weeks but I am hammering away the next barrel of grease monkey story.
You know that one with no monkeys in it.
Here's a sneak peak at some inks.

My mom passed away yesterday. I was with her till the end. Here Comes The Sun and In My Life by The Beatles was playing.
It is devastating and surreal. She was a truly a kind and giving, hosted most of our family get togethers. She helped raise her siblings.
As it inches toward 4 am. I had to share.
