Charlie "Old Crow" Irons

I also have #Tumblr and #Pinterest accounts that'll probably get more active again, as well as - of course - No Genre Needed on @mixcloud.bsky.social.

Welp, it's that time of year again; where we see how long it takes for Wham! to tell us their tale of a broken Yule heart.

That's right, it's #Whamegeddon. Except this year I'm already in #Whahalla thanks to a SoCal friend at 0323 PST on day 1. 🤦‍♂️

Remember this is just for fun, so go have some.

Draw, Charlie, Draw! Comics and Illustrations for Life and Fantasy

You may be the only one, but I do try to be thoughtful, just in case. More than likely I'm going to resurrect my old webpage and now dedicate it to creating my book series and tracking the end of my days; along with sharing funnies and music, of course: drawcharliedraw.com

I'll be shutting down my #Bluesky account at the end of the year. After joining at the beginning of 2025, dimensioning returns on the amount of effort put in, as well as all the adult content I can't filter, and other issues here just aren't worth it.

December is my transition out; more to come.

14 casualties with - so far - 4 of them fatalities, and 2 of those children at a birthday party in Stockton, Ca. overnight.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I have maybe 16 months left to live and I am sick of reading about #MassShootings when I wake up. Sensible #gun control #laws NOW!

It's been a year full of amazing #music; especially as I build the dream soundtracks to my #book series. And right now I'm really enjoying the new release by @hauntedlikehuman.bsky.social; which I proudly backed. (HLH has a song on the A Bedtime Tale OST for book 7.)

Don't pass on this. Trust me.

Also; I rolled in Oakland a number of years, too.

I have a couple old neighborhoods up here, too.

I don't think I like waking up, after being ill the past few days, to find out there were shootings in my old neighborhoods during the holiday, let alone a drunk 90 year old plowing their car into a coffee shop at nearly 75 mph on a residential street.

I keep a picture log of BP/pulse readings in my camera roll for my docs. This is literally the 6th pic in the roll right now. It was an... interesting adventure that day.

And having the honor of being on both my list of closest, dearest friends AND the list of things that have almost killed me, that would qualify you as an expert.

Great story of friendship and honor, though; even if a little uncomfortable. (One of my personal favorites.)

You just died.
The 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you.

I... I don't like this game.

I've got enough pointless crap to go around as it is...

"Friends and family, we've gathered today to pay out final respects to Charlie Irons. But first, if you'll get out your death-pool copies..."

16 months.

My care team says I should make it to my next birthday in March, but there's most likely not another in me after that.

That may sound grim and morbid to you, but it's kind of a relief to finally have some kind of number to measure off.

Of course, I should've died years ago, so...

YouTube video by Nuclear Blast Records ROB ZOMBIE - Heathen Days (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

#Youtube has been pushing a lot of #RobZombie on me the last few days, and today I found out why; a new #album is on the way this February. The first single, Heathen Days, is not his usual word salad, either.

I had wondered what had gotten up with the man all these years on, now.

Post stroke, mainly. Dark places otherwise, I'm afraid. But new music has fallen into my lap that's got ABT rolling again; making OST for each episode, plus book 7 should be did next week. Soon I can start design work for book 1...

Got a couple of PMs and an email checking in since I've been radio silent this past week.

I live; just under the weather and dealing with stuff, but thanks to those who asked.

Here's a concept #sketch for the opening page for my #book series I'm #writing to show I'm still working...

And just think; there's like five more to meet somewhere in the game...

Post your favorite #StarTrek character. Wrong answers only.

Between the lack of engaging content on @bsky.app , my inability to get any engagement on this platform, and all the kink/adult stuff that still manages to get rammed into my eyes despite my attempts to the contrary, it's looking like it's time to go.

#Tumblr or bring back my old site? 🤔

So, still recovering from a mass of trauma when... SURPRISE... new #music by #Robyn!

What? Hey, I know I don't look the part, but I really dig her stuff. And if you've heard my @mixcloud.bsky.social station, No Genre Needed, you'd know I'm all about music. ALL MUSIC.

Try it; you may like it...

It's longish, but you aren't the only one asking that question...

I'm trying to get my head around psychic powers, but then I've aged out of the franchise (Used to self publish a comic called The Adventures of Justin Bailey) and can't afford these new systems, so I'm hoping you kids enjoy it.

Like everything I do with this #book series I've built a #soundtrack of #music for each installment. This scene, from Book 8: The Wilds, is no exception...

My last 2 dedicated readers have #book 6 in my #fantasy series and I'm nervous and emotionally drained.

A Bedtime Tale isn't just a series I'm #writing, it's my end of life therapy. In it I'm revealing and working out a lot about myself as I get ready to die.

Here's a pre stroke colorized #sketch.

My #art, post stroke, continues to improve. Except this isn't my style I've been using for nearly 15 years; it's like something I used back in early college?

Eh. I'll take it.

Looks like I'm almost strong enough to #illustrate my #book, again. Thanks for the encouragement, @bob-case.bsky.social
