Rough cut. Still working on a v.o. for this one. #talenspantone #royaltalensna #majortaylor #process #majortaylorgraphicnovel

The worst crash of #majortaylor ‘s career was during his second tour of #Australia, the result of an intentional foul. Having suffered some bad crashes personally, this was hard to draw #process #timelapse #timelapseinks #australia #velodrome #Melborne #traditionalmedia #traditionalmediacartoonist

This is why we dry run. Discovering the gap on the job would have been catastrophic. #thanksamazon

Today’s the day! The final films of Noir City are rolling through Grand Lake all afternoon and evening — get out the wet and into the dark.

I’ve been pretty heads down and mum on #MajorTaylor. I’m finally winding down production, 4 years and about 400 pages later. I won’t rhapsodize but man…what a long, strange trip it has been.

I was going to attempt to refill this tapped-out pen, but it’s manufactured in such a way it’s not easily disassembled. Clearly on the #PacificGarbagePatch ‘s payroll. #righttorepair #singleuseplastic

I have had a few out-of-the-blue discoveries while completing the #MajorTaylor graphic novel. This page, from an 1897 issue of #BearingsMagazine discovered on #InternetArchive hasn’t turned up in any of the voluminous research I’ve done. Quite a gem, seeing 18 year old pre-fame Taylor here.

That did NOT age well.

My son really dug #roberttrujillo #freshjuice. I’ll second that! I think the recipe in the back needs to happen.

Welp, it finally happened. My studio got too messy to work. A spotless studio is pointless. Just take care of fire hazards and make sure there aren’t vermin. I have bad peripheral vision too, so it’s prudent to minimize floor clutter. A door to desk path is 👍🏾.

Ready to rawk. Racked a new 15.

Once upon a time I had planned to devote more time to drinking #absinthe.

One more thing I never got around to 😭😭😭

Cynicism and Singing: #DavidCross Mildly Amuses - midbrow.org/cynicism-and...

An old dog with old bits - David Cross‘s brand of " #alternativecomedy" is now only reminiscent of his once-edgy standup from twenty years ago.

www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/2963... There’s been a huge uptick in sales of these on my shop. It’s on a lot of people’s hearts.

I didn’t design this. It’s from the sheet music to #ILoveYouCalifornia
