I make good things.
Yes kids*, you can and should drop an orange popsicle into a mug of beer.

Who wants to see what I got up to this Free Comic Book Day?

Sketches upon sketches, my friends.

What should I draw in this little sketchbook with this cool random colour pencil?

We have a long tradition of ice-cream for breakfast in the Bharadwaj household.

Once again @allvishal.bsky.social has outdone himself. We’re doing 2 Supplementals this time (Q&A this week, and Section 31 next week), so he made a double cover that splits in two.

As a working visual artist, I have less of a hardline view either way on all this AI image gen discourse* than you'd think, but it really makes me want to make more handmade art.

*(- it has uses
- it still looks soulless
- 99% of users would never have hired a human artist anyway)

We're back on track now (show should post next week), so I can finally show off this @allvishal.bsky.social cover art, which incorporates this year's selections: A Wish for Wings that Work (the Bloom County Christmas special) + a holiday-themed episode of Spielberg's 80s anthology, Amazing Stories.

Progress is rarely linear, but progress is progress. Project 1 for 2025 now has 3 bricks in its eventual wall. 6 is an arbitrary number that people aim for. 10x that would be amazing. Public in April.

Project 2 is more ambitious. August for that is laughable, and yet, doable.

Finished this page of loose architecture doodling today. Fineliner. 0.4 I think.

More auto-architecture.

Had some scrap coloured paper, so I'm just going to keep making these.

Correction fluid pens are underrated as art & writing instruments.

Should I be worried that this super cheap (~$3) dip pen set (for manga! With ink!) is made by the totally real sounding "Worison"?

We'll find out.

A bit of steampunky automatic drawing with two waterbrushes loaded with sumi ink, to complete this dirty sketchtbook.

A screen ratio template for the book of thumbnails.

Working out those cobwebs with some automatic drawing (dammit, I forgot to draw any actual cobwebs in this).

I don't think I'll ever give context or explanations for the drawings in this book (I almost never do with finished work either)

When I lived in Dubai you'd see a bunch of famous people at the malls, all either just shopping or hanging out at cafes, usually during the workday, when it was quieter. (I was also there because I was freelance & it was quieter.)
Emergency Questions

20. What is your most mundane celebrity encounter?

I once saw Eve Myles browsing the CD racks in HMV. There is literally no more to that story.
