You may have heard of "Le Chat Noir" but what about "Le Chat Dumb"?

My cat Puck was inspiration for this. Based on the famous french painting by Rodolphe Solis.

i just keep getting bad news, and i haven't felt up to drawing anything with much effort for awhile now. I'm really sorry if you follow me to see art, and I've just been talking about video games and financial struggles. I will try my best to get a grip lol

A realization that I had a few years ago is that most current day creatives you admire are probably working multiple jobs, and if they're lucky all of those jobs are creative, but many aren't.

Give yourself slack as you make ends meet, but also we all need to fight for better pay together.

Very, very few comic book creators can survive on just the money they make from comics. It is an inherently unstable job and it is only getting worse as time goes on. Don't ever be embarrassed or ashamed of needing another job so that you can keep making comics.
Not being able to make a living just from your art doesn't make you a failure as an artist, it just means you're a totally normal working artist.

#Comics folks, I need you to pull up to this one.

The world sucks right now, and we have the opportunity to do a little bit of good for a displaced and marginalized member of our community. Please join me in supporting this KS campaign!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/den...
If you're somebody who values supporting marginalized voices in comics, here's your chance to put your money where your values are! The writer of this RINGO NOM’D INDIE COMIC (and a very dear friend of mine) is a Syrian Refugee who has been through more continuous hardships than I have space to list here; constantly navigating visa applications, unstable living conditions, predatory landlords (limited options as a refugee). Anas just wants to make comics and live a normal life like what so many of us take for granted. Backing this campaign will help Anas to take the next step toward freedom and autonomy, helping to fund a move to another country with more stable employment options. This is truly one of the most important comics purchases you will ever make. Middle Eastern and North African comics creators are some of the most underrepresented in the comics industry of the western world. Anas isn’t running a GoFundMe to support this move, and is not asking for charity. Simply, Anas is using their talent for storytelling, along with Dennis’ gorgeous art, to offer you a beautiful experience in the comics medium, that also goes toward funding a better life for Anas. I’m so proud of Anas, and humbled by their experiences and perseverance. I would like to see Anas’ Dream realized, and I’d love to see this community help to make that happen. Please join me in pledging to the Etheres Kickstarter campaign! (link below). Etheres cover B

It’s taken me two whole days to finally recall the name of the song that I’m reminded of whenever I hear the mandolin riff at the beginning of this one. R.E.M.’s Losing My Religon

I can finally get some sleep now ✌️

Bonfires are more fun when your soul is on the line. #artjamolantern
Rhys, dressed as a werewolf+vampire holds open his cape over the finished and lit jack-o-lantern and taunts, “the hwch ddu gwta always catches the slowest person!” And a young Luka dressed as a skelington peers in the opposite direction begging, “Mrs. Sayer, do we have to go outside?”

I heard we were drawing our characters carving pumpkins. So here’s Luka (Lwca) Llewellyn experiencing his first Calan Gaeaf with the Sayers. 🧵
Rhys Sayer about to sink a blade into a pumpkin with one foot on the table yells, “Let’s open you up!” While a terrified younger Luka Llewellyn screeches for “Mrs. Sayerrrrr!!!” An off screen voice (Mrs. Sayer) yells out “Mwn diwal, Rhys Sawyl Sayer! Cyllell I lawr! Nawr!”. Busted, Rhys is frustrated with knife still held high above his head. Luka hides behind his lion stuffie. Mrs. Elain Sayer is cutting the pumpkin open. Luka is holding his stuffie close while he watches. Rhys pulls at his face and complains, “But maaaaaaaaa-“ “Rhys” “I wanted to do tha carvin’ this yur!” Elain sternly replies, “Not with tha wey you’re terrorizin’ Luka, you won’t. You boys can gut and draw; but I’ll be managin’ the knife, understood?” Rhys reluctantly sighs. “Rhys-!” His mother warns. He replies, “fffffffine.”

The house smells of butter and cheese and I’m here three weeks out from labs. I’ve been riding the apathy to stay on track, but the temptation to say ‘fuqqit’ is putting up a fight.

Just three more weeks to go. We’ll see if it was worth it.
