Oh one more tease… “Based on an ancient Breton folk tale.” Recommended by Moonbound author Robin Sloan, whose newsletter you should absolutely subscribe to. You should…

Trek Heads
I think I posted about this about a year or so ago. But it’s so silly it’s worth dipping into again. A friend of mine sent me a bunch of memoji designed to look like Star Trek Next Generation characters. And since I can’t help but follow silly ideas through to the end, I drew…

Alasdair Gray
Haven’t seen Poor Things. It’s on the list. Had no idea it was based on a book by Alasdair Gray, whom I’d never heard of before I watched this video him about a few years ago. Inspiring stuff, especially for me, who always feels at war with the drawing and writing parts of my brain.

inktober 2020 day 3
Bulk Prompt: bulk. That leads me to bulkhead. I looked at a lot of pictures of bulkheads on memory alpha. I looked at a lot of pictures of bulkheads for boats on the internet. I’m still not sure what a bulkhead is. But Kirk ran into it. Inktobers Past You can visit (or revisit) my Zelda…

gearing up for inktober 2020
Jake Parker released his prompt list for Inktober 2020 a couple of weeks ago. My first impulse was to not participate this year. I felt I didn’t have any ideas. Then your brain starts working on it in the background. “You could do this for Inktober,” your brain says. “Or you could do this.” Then…

I’ve talked about this before, but at the start of every month I start a new sketchbook. This month’s sketchbook happened to be one of those mead composition books that comix artist Lynda Barry loves. So in honor of that, I’ve been filling it up with comix. I divide the page up in to 4…

collages and sketches
the last couple of nights when drawing with wendy mac before bed, little guy has been cutting up his drawings and pasting them in his sketchbook and mine, collage style. based on the pile of leftover paper triangles, i think he enjoys the physicality of cutting the paper more than the act of drawing. the…

Little Guy likes to grab a few bowls or pots and pans and some ingredients and ‘cook’ at the kitchen table. (Last time he did this, he said, ‘I need to cook this now, and slid the pan underneath the table, just like putting it in the oven.) Saturday he made oatmeal soup. in the…
