Oh.... Oh no

I desperately hope the option of shrimp didn't make it out of the grocery store with you.

My webcomic, Nothing Special, is back today after a multi-year hiatus.
There's years of backlog (160+ chapters!) and now more to come on Webtoon every Tuesday.
If you like fantasy, adventure, dead vegetables... please read it.

The reason why older generations burnt the shit out of their meat and boiled the shit out of their vegetables, was your kid died if you didn't.

Medium rare steaks and roasted Brussels sprouts are a side effect of an intact food safety infrastructure

Heat exhaustion and medication side effects/ withdrawal didn't help me keep up with this but I'll do some sketches based off photos later

Some attempts at vacation sketching (and a bit of attempting repainting)

My my my, how the turns have tables. These days it's my mom falling asleep with the iPad screen on, the lights on, and not putting on sunscreen anywhere but her face and getting a mild sunburn

This is mildly satisfying, and actually generally uncomfortable to cope with parental aging

My nephew has been horrifically congested all day. I thought my eyes were irritated because I got sunscreen on them this morning, but it turns out it's both because of the sunscreen and the allergies

I got up close with a Portuguese man-o-war and my god these animals are shockingly beautiful.

I've taken a cool shower and dried off. If possible, I might be condensing more again. I forgot how pervasive the damp is even with air conditioning

The process is not apeeling but he'll be happy afterwards!

A watercolor painting of Tiamat from D&D, a five-headed dragon with each head (and neck) a different color. The heads are raised in a roar looking left with the black, red, white heads in the front, while the green and blue heads are offset behind them. Wisps of cotton fiber lay across most of the body, looking like smoke and obscuring most of the lower body.

It is possible I should have been using gouache or acrylic paint instead of watercolor because I decided to be *entirely too detailed* and thus don't mind the cotton fog

The painting is definitely complete and the cotton is a part of it

A watercolor painting of the front door of Bag End in Hobbiton: a round green door set into a wall built into the side of a grassy hill with a tree growing at the top of the hill. A watercolor palette is placed above the painting.

I wish I were a hobbit living in a fancy hole away from the ongoing wars.

Right up until the war reaches my doorstep, I suppose. I'd just like to be unaware for a while.

My work has a RTO order to be in effect in 2 months. I'm very angry about it. My union is angry about it.
UGH

Ok this convinced me I need to go check out some dye colors

I'm going to need to add "Triage" to the "Soup" shirt

If you enter a stranger's home, always remove your shoes. Then remove their shoes. Hold them down. Take their shoes. Get their shoes off.

I just met murderbot 12 hours ago and I am distressed I have to wait now

On the way to get some eyebrows

Controversial pi day opinion:
A tarte has a better crust to filling ratio than a pie.

Alternatively, do away with the crust design and make a crumble or something.

... Felting needles were ok as carry-on with a domestic flight, but I probably can't bring them to jury duty, right?

Perhaps at least you got bonus soup?

I tried to make coffee with whole beans which was the correct thing but missing a crucial step

Chicken Moogle Soup

It will also hopefully prevent me from getting sick which is an extra bonus in the grand scheme of things

I'm beauty, I'm grace, I've spilled coffee all over my face... and neck, inside my shirt and hoodie.

I have to be in the office a few days this month and I will be wearing a mask which will prevent me from haphazardly sipping beverages and thus spilling them all over my person
