Kawafitober Day 5: Cat Collector
—
Yesterday was a nice rest day! Though I guess not technically a rest day since I was still working? Anyway, today’s drawing is a pretty good representation of what I want to happen whenever I come across street cats.

Here at Hello Comics for Local Comic Shop Day!

I always like a good snickerdoodle… or really anything with cinnamon, honestly.

Voting is open now until September 22nd. Just follow the link below to register and vote for your favorites!

https://vote.lynchburgliving.com/personalities/best-visual-artist

So, yeah… I’m nominated for the first time in Lynchburg Living’s Best Visual Artist!

I've been making stuff in the local community for awhile, so it's cool to be listed amongst so many other artists/friends and even be in the running. So I'll be super appreciative of anyone that votes!

Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Space Bunny #1 & #2 Space Bunny is back with an all-new story. In their second adventure they meet a wizard, battle a kaiju, and go fishing!

Space Bunny #1 & #2 is LIVE on Kickstarter!! Space Bunny is ready to meet the Dinosaur Time Wizard - are you?

Risograph printing workshops at Riverviews Artspace in Lynchburg, VA

Local-ish people, I’ll be doing a couple RISO workshops in the fall at Riverviews! The machine is back up and running, ready for some sweet prints. riverviews.net/store/risograph-basics-workshop

These are solid tips. 😆

Oh man, I wish. If you figured out the threshold to reach that, lemme know.

"A.i." doesn't empower anyone. It strips them of belief in themselves and the power of their own minds and hands and abilities and stories.

EVERY KID CAN DRAW. EVERY KID CAN TELL STORIES AND MAKE COMICS.

Fuck "A.i." for telling kids lies and making them less-than.

JUNK DRAWER #2: Summer is finally winding down The second issue of Junk Drawer is here!

New issue of Junk Drawer just dropped! (It's been a little while 😅)

Still here and making it through the summer.☀️

Have I mentioned I have a newsletter that you can sign up for? It’s super easy to sign up for at the link in my bio… and I promise not to bombard you with emails. (In fact, I haven’t even sent one since May!) New one dropping soon though!

Right? Maybe at some point we’ll get one, though I guess we’d need to find the space too. 😆

Of course! We’re just doing everything traditionally on paper! I wish we had access to more digital tools to offer something like that… maybe at some point.

Teen Comics Camp - Academy Center of the Arts - July 28th through August 1st (Drawing with ink on a table)

Not sure if anyone local follows along here, but I still have spots in this upcoming teen camp happening next week!
academycenter.org/event/teen-c...

I snagged a couple early on, but regret not grabbing the OTGW one when I had a chance. It is up on Archive.org though, so I can at least stare at it there. 😆

😯 Yesss… and I was just wondering about how this would translate to an anime while reading the recent volume.

… And a little animation for the sandworm’s entrance. 😁

Beetlejuice graveyard with fog and tombstones with Deetz house in background.

Deetz living room after remodel.

The attic of the Deetz home with boxes, an old tv, and model of the town.

Some of the projections that I worked on for Beetlejuice, Jr. last month with Academy Youth Theatre! 🪲 🧃 Such a fun show to have a tiny part in working on and these kids did AMAZING.

Hi #PortfolioDay, I'm Del. All my best stuff is under NDA or haven't been released yet.

Comic page of two teens chilling together on a bed with stuffed animals while one of them draws and it rains outside.

Book cover illustration featuring an icy landscape. A princess reaches out to her companion atop a gentle dragon. The title reads “taking flight”

Book cover illustration featuring a teen stepping out into a library of sorts with ghosts greeting her. Snakes enter the room ahead of her near the title reading “the archive”

Comic page where a pink fluffy bird and a baker bear greet each other. The bird invites the bear on an adventure!
