I was big into the movies/cartoons, and had superman-adjacent things like coloring books, but this was the first one I got that started the whole thing.

Here’s an old chestnut I drew almost a quarter of a century ago when @rhettmc.mythical.com of Rhett and Link was working at #NCState ‘s “Technician.” He would send me an occasional idea for a toon to draw with his weekly column. Totally forgot about it til a couple years back. 🐺⚡️🐏

testing stuff #ncstate #wolfpack 🐺♥️ #raleigh #nc #baseball #graphicdesign #vintage #stars #texture
Test image for a possible T-shirt design depicts a stone wolf head with two baseball bats crossed pirate-bones style under it. A baseball sits in the center under the crossed handles. It says WOLFPACK in a curved arc in the center area above the wolf. Stars anchor the logo type, with one proceeding the W and the last one following the K under the baseball, in similar typeface, it says NC STATE UNIVERSITY, under that RALEIGH, NC. There is a circular logo that is centered below that. The whole design is in a vintage distressed style and is dark printing on a red shirt.

Ooh! A pirate′s life is a wonderful life
A-rovin' over the sea
Give me a career as a buccaneer
As the life of a pirate for me
Ooh! The life of a pirate for me

#WaffleHouse 2025 - Feels like a combo tired of dealing with late night drunken fights and, of course, the modern notion of not wanting to pay waitstaff a livable wage in the name of higher profits due to rising food costs (also artificially inflated at times.)

The Three Graces; General Gestalt, St. Chalkhydri, Nike Maxine 🌞🪽🔧 #art #comics #illustration #procreate #applepencil #ipaddrawing #superheroes
Three women with the appearance of haloed angels stand, floating in the sky. On the left is General Gestalt. She has a dark complexion and dark brown hair tied in a thick pigtail with a red handband. She has a red and white shirt on with a gold sun in the center. She wears green work pants with boots and carries a large wrench. St. Chalkhydri stands in the back, dressed in a form-fitting all-black uniform. She looks slightly uneasy. Nike Maxine stands proudly in the right with an arm full of plans tucked under her arm. She has a thick head of blonde hair, also tied in a pigtail. She wears denim coveralls with brown boots. On her coveralls are two buttons. One is of a Victorian Sun, the other, a blue button with white star with an ‘A’ in the middle of it. Her hand is on her hip as she surveys the earth below.

A stylized midcentury designed fox, with the shape of an “M” making up his ears, winks mischievously at an offscreen audience. His whiskers are exact, and vibrate out like rays from his slender nose.
