I’m overdue in mentioning that I have a Threadless store and that t-shirts are currently $12! No obligation to buy, of course. We’re all just tryin’ to get by and whatnot. Thanks!

DrawMob at The Forks – November 14th, 2025.

Twelve of us! I love my crew.
I got a little further down the line with a low stakes project and sketched a few ideas while we did the usual eating, drinking, and shit-talkin’.

Good times as always.

My personally relatable take from this news story:
A quote from a CBC Manitoba news story: "It's really scary because for me, as a minority, I feel like I can be arrested anytime and disappear."

If you're telling anyone that reference is cheating, I don't believe you've actually created anything in your fucking life.
A drawing of Allan Lorde pointing angrily with his mouth open on a pink background. Underneath him, it says: “Anyone who tells you that using reference to create art is cheating is not your fucking friend.” The initial sketch of Allan Lorde shouting angrily. Allan Lorde’s own photo reference. A hand sketch based on the photo reference.

Hello, friendos! I’ve been spending all of my fuckin’ money on the necessities of life and ending up with nothing left for equally necessary retail therapy.

If you’re in need of a Christmas/Krampus/Kwanza/Festivus illustration, please consider your ol’ buddy Al.

A thousand thank yous!

Gettin’ Arlo Guthrie vibes.
The cover of Arlo Guthrie’s Alice’s Restaurant album. Arlo is seated at a table and he’s shirtless, with a napkin on his chest. There are two candles on the table. His name and the title are above the photo.

So far, no one here is talking about this thing Affinity’s supposed to be dropping on the 30th of this month. All I’m saying is that GenAI had better not be involved.
A newsletter graphic from Affinity announcing a new, um…thing coming October 30th. “Creative freedom is coming. See it first. October 30”

This is probably my all-time favorite Nuit Blanche thing (next to the illuminated seesaws in Old Market Square that one year): CLOUD.
A sculpture made of hundreds of lightbulbs with chains to pull, so you could turn some of them on and off.
The Riel Gentlemen’s Choir, singing under the sculpture called CLOUD, temporarily located on the Riel Esplanade. October 2nd, 2016.

Adding volumes 7 and 8 of How To Think When You Draw to my collection was the highlight of my week! The @etheringtonbros.bsky.social rule!

*BLOCKED*
A screencap of a Bluesky post by James Ball. “Bluesky is shrinking rather than growing. It has no source of revenue. If it doesn't grow, *it will die* Constantly making it unwelcoming, saying who you don't want here, setting rules for what other sites people should and shouldn't use, and the like, will kill it quicker.”

Highlight of my day: getting my @offregisterhq.bsky.social Geezer stuff in the mail! Issue 3 is the best yet!
Allan is holding the contents of his Geezer comic Kickstarter fulfillment. Pictured is a Geezer Swag Bag, issue 3 of Geezer in a yellow Argent Studios bag, and the added-on Rich and Strange comic. A video from harpist Emily Hopkins is playing in the background.

Some lettering to introduce my car.
A picture of a red 2006 Honda Civic against a purple-tinted background. Behind the car is lettering that says “Introducing Red Bastien, a 2006 Honda Civic.” “A 2006 Honda Civic” is in a purple circle. “Red Bastien” is in red and black bubble-ish lettering.

Okay, I'll bite.
It's been ages since I've posted anything art-wise, so if you need to re-familiarize yourself: allanlorde.com
The "what's my art trademark??1" meme. The words: what's my art trademark??1 as in what makes you go "oh hey, this is - art!11!!" or what's the most remarkable thing about my artstyle in general? In the bottom right corner, a jagged-toothed person is holding up a piece of paper that says "art." There's a arrow pointing to the person indicating that they are "full of soup."
