Hi #portfolioday! I'm a freelance cartoonist in the SF Bay Area and I make comics about my life, as well as #kidlitart. I would love to draw FOR YOU! Looking for covers, early reader GNs, middle grade illos, and an agent. My work is cartoony and fun. dhoover.art for contact info and more! 🖖
A six panel comic about how much pole hurts. Text reads: Mundane Thoughts: On Pole. There are parts of your body that you don't think about until they star hurting. Like your knee pits. These get such a workout when you do poses like a jasmine, or a genie over and over again. And then you have to sit with you legs straight for the next two days because the backs of your knees are too raw and bruised to handle touching anything. The images show red, raw skin on the back of the knees. A woman hanging on a vertical pole with her top knee bent and gripping the pole while the bottom leg is out straight towards camera. She is supported by an arm gripping the pole on either side of her. The same woman in a genie pose, both knees wide and wrapped around the pole, toes touching, as her torso is perpendicular to the pole. The last image is of the same woman at her desk drawing, but her feet are resting on the wall because bending them would hurt. A black and white ink drawing of a woman with long hair, looking very flustered and carrying two animal carriers, each filled by a yowling cat. Text reads :I had to take the cats to the vet A five panel comic showing an anthropometric onion, dressed in blue robes and blue wizard hat out for a walk when he hears a crack in the bushes and startles to a stop. He looks around, worried. He is being watched by a hooded figure in the bushes. They jump out, surprising him. It's a girl with long, curly red hair, a red dress, and a red cloak. She screams his name "GILLY!" and then grabs him and shakes him while shouting "Can you help me?" She's fine, she's just melodramatic. A four panel comic about returning to PT. The first image shows a brown haired woman sitting and waiting while her knew throbs red. The second shows the same woman trying to bend down to fold laundry and having her knee scream with pain. The third shows the PT person explaining why her pain isn't bad enough for more PT. The fourth has a more detailed internal drawing of the knee, showing the location of the pain and a man very smugly saying a 4 out of 0 pain wise is FINE.

Ok, time to finish the last 20 minutes of Night of the Comet. So far, I'm kinda underwhelmed, but I could spend a lot of time discussing why, so, I guess it's successful in creating discussion. That's something.

The feature to make movie review comics is increasing, despite my having committed myself to many projects on here, most of which remain incomplete.

The Calaveras Fault system will continue the shaking until morale improves. Or until we get our act together up here. The Earth is telling us it's tired of our nonsense.

Re: can't start a comic, I figured it out. It's not even needing to record ideas, which I USUALLY (but not consistently) do. It's fear. Fear it'll suck, fear no one will read it, or find it funny, or maybe it isn't funny at all but it's also not relatable...it's just that little fear guy.

Boy, this movie keeps going. The transition commercial breaks don't help.

Robert Beltan's acting apparently didn't improve much between 1984 and Voyager.
He also took his gloves off twice in one scene.

The female lead being totally ok with a bunch of random clothes on the ground, extremely empty streets, and a very red sky filter is peak 80s.

Ok, about to watch this. Any movie that has 80s teens played by 30 year olds is going to be good.

Justin T. Lee, the animator, quickly followed it up with an equally brilliant Voyager animation. He captured the Filmation TAS style perfectly! /2

I've never posted this delightful Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Animated Series video before because I kind of assume everybody has already seen it. But that's probably not true and it's my duty to make sure that everyone has! /1

Timeline refresh: I made fresh guacamole. I don't have peppers on hand, so it's lacking that nice spice kick, but it's pretty good otherwise. 🥑🍋‍🟩🌶️

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.
Captain Janeway, a woman with fair skin and red hair wearing a red and black Starfleet uniform, sits behind a desk looking at a small PADD with an expression so serious, it could start an intergalactic incident. Her left hand is resting on her face, a finger or two at her temple while the rest sit on her cheek, lightly supporting her head as she contemplates a world without coffee. Terrifying.

DanDaDan is a wild, wild ride.
I'm trying to decide if I like Seiko or Turbo Granny more, and I don't think I can choose.
Season 3 is going to be weird.

I have so many boring adult comic ideas and when I sit down to make them my brain turns to mush. Halp

Snuck in two miles before sunset. 50s is slightly cooler than I prefer to start run, but it's nice once you get going.

After a bird flu outbreak tore through Midwestern barns, killing millions of chickens and spiking egg prices, the federal government didn’t investigate if the virus was airborne.

So ProPublica did.

Absolutely terrifying reporting from @natlash.bsky.social:

What the U.S. Government Is Dismissing That Could Seed a Bird Flu Pandemic
Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed. Vacci...
