Felt like sharing the shibboleth.

I’m at an undisclosed location having a ranch water, listening to the Cramps and putting the finishing touches on “la persistència del temps perdut.”
Once I get a clear coat on it, it’ll be for sale, $20 (plus shipping) with all $20 going to local mutual aid groups.

It’s been another sloooow morning at the shop (*sigh*), but it does mean I’ve had time to work on one of the tiny paintings I’ll be selling to raise money for local mutual aid groups and food pantries.
Progress shot of “la persistència del temps perdut” with a quarter for scale.

Planning out paintings for some scrapwood I’ve got.
These will be about 2.5x3” or so.
Once they’re done, I’ll put them up for sale here and on instagram, with all the money (minus postage) going to local mutual aid orgs and food pantries.

Coming to the @carefulkittybooks.com table at OKC Zinefest (and maybe @slicexpo.bsky.social if I can get it done in time):
A MURDER, a little one page booklet horror comic I storyboarded this morning.

The response to our first ever art show call has been awesome!
We’re gonna close the call Monday, Sept 29 at noon, so we can notify those selected & make sure they can pick up their race kits with plenty of time before 9th Street Derby Day on November 22.

This is why, if you're wanting to do comics, it's far more important to practice drawing comics than it is to practice drawing. The drawing comes with time and you get the time by getting opportunities to make comics, you get those opportunities by demonstrating storytelling.
A lot of people draw well. Who cares? Storytelling is the hook for old pros. Drawing gets better the more you do it, an understanding of storytelling (pacing, compositional choices, directional reading, etc) is frequently more intuitive and suggests potential in a way that a drawing can't.

I’m calling my tree for the Canopy Art Center show done and varnishing it!
Come see it, and trees from dozens and dozens of other amazing artists at Canopy in OKC’s District for the opening Thursday night, Live on the Plaza Friday night, or the Plaza District Festival on Sept 27 from noon to 11.

Yesterday:

I’d love to say that I attended to pressing matters, but mostly I just zoned out and drew.

Today in the first of a potential new series I am tentatively calling, “Amazingly these were not bongs”

Nine (9!) years ago I did a run of 15 of these Devil Dino screen printed posters in honor of Jack Kirby.
They’re long gone, but I still like the image.

Happy birthday, Jack.

It’s been a slow day & I had some tedious work to do, so I’ve been listening to Fishmans all morning.
I kept zoning out & imagining I was in a club watching an amazing band made up of robots fronted by a muppet that was sorta Georgia Hubley by way of Justine Frischmann.
I want to live in that club.

So much death and suffering and cruelty going on, and all I do is sit here in my book hovel and paint this little tree.
