inktober 2020 day 6
Day 6 Rodent Data, Geordi, and Spot (Data’s cat) make their first appearance in this year’s Star Trek themed Inktober. Though I tried to research all of the prompts for this year’s inktober in advance so I didn’t have to try and come up with an idea last minute, this was a last minute idea.…

inktober 2020 day 5
day 5 ‘blade’ Worf and Jadzia sparring. I gave Worf and Jadzia the weapons and outfits they wore when sparring in the opening teaser of the 14th episode of season 4, ‘Sons of Mogh.’ If you’re deep into the details of Star Trek, (I’m usually not, but when working on this sort of project, I…

inktober 2020 day 4
Day 4: Radio Inking this strip last night was my most confident inking this month. I think it’s because I spent more time on drawing the characters, though I did get lazy on Uhura’s control panel. I’m also getting more comfortable with my tools, which also helps. I should also note that I leave the…

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…

inktober 2020 – day 2
Day 2 Prompt: Wisp A quick search of ‘wisp’ in Memory Alpha turned up…not much. Apparently in an episode of Star Trek: Enterprise, the Enterprise and its crew get swallowed by a giant ship of non-corporeal beings, aka The Wisp, and have to escape. Full disclosure: I’ve never seen an episode of Enterprise. I loved…

Inktober 2020 Begins
Day 1 Fish The first prompt from Jake Parker is ‘fish’, so that’s where we’ll start in my Star Trek themed Inktober. A quick search of memory-alpha, the online trove of Star Trek knowledge, turns up a game of go fish in the final episode of Deep Space Nine between Quark and the self-aware holosuite…

Inktober Hasn’t Even Started Yet and I’m Already Behind
I’ve selected a theme for Jake Parker’s Official Prompt list for Inktober 2020. Star Trek. Why Star Trek? I’ve been watching a lot of Star Trek on the H&I network since the pandemic started. Comfort food. To put that television watching to good use, it’s become… inspiration. Sometimes I have an idea for a Star…

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…

september sketchbook
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…

caribou sketch
drew this while watching ‘one planet’ on netflix. trying to get faster (and looser, obviously) with watercolor so i’m going to keep doing more of these tv sketches and keep dropping my standards (tv sketch definition: sketch done while the tv is on)

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…

drawing with wendy mac: peacock
For the last week or so, Little Guy and I have been drawing with Wendy Mac before bedtime. This was my peacock drawing from yesterday, made with crayon and ink.

star trek next generation is bad at social distancing
Last night I watched a rerun of Star Trek The Next Generation and couldn’t help but notice how bad the entire crew was at social distancing. And I guess that’s how this works, right? Our brains adapt and now movies and television, and maybe comics that were made before the coronavirus just looks, wrong, somehow.…

oatmeal soup
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…

my first moc, part 2
If you’re like a lot of people, you’re stuck at home, and maybe feeling a little anxious about the world around us. Many, (most?) of us haven’t been in a situation like this before and we’re all just trying to get through it best we can. So if you’ve got some free time, dig out…

collaborating with kieron gillen
Honestly, that’s a woefully misleading title. Grabby, though, ain’t it? In January, comics writer Kieron Gillen teamed up with Project Art Cred to write a script, release it to any artist that wanted it, and bask in the wide variation in storytelling that resulted. You can check out the results that resulted here. Amongst all…

building my first moc part 1
Little Guy is in to Lego, so now I’m in to Lego. And I’m probably more in to Lego than he is. All of this began with me watching his sets that he had gotten for Christmas or for birthdays, and we had so carefully built together, slowly disintegrate back into the box of all…
