Here's a new three page short Billowslandia comic that I did up for Summer's issue of Oly Comix Cult's zine with the main theme of "The Beach Episode" and one of the sub-themes being "Barnacle Disease".

Of course the page of my 3 page comic I spent the least amount of time in inking turns out to be the one I've so far taken the longest time in coloring. >_<;

Heading downtown for the Open Draw get together thing at Decay @ 2pm. Hopefully get coloring done on a comic submission I need to finish before the end of the month. Again and always with me and cutting deadlines super close. >_<;

Heading to downtown Oly for the Night Drawer for the first time in a long time. This time... going to try drawing something all digital like, since I've been able to somewhat mimic my hand-drawn style with my tablet properly... hopefully it will go well. For example, here's a new digital comic page.

Went downtown earlier today to go to the drawing thing at Decay but no one was there to let us in... so we moved over to Schwartz's (a little coffee shop on the corner of 4th ave). Getting used to using this "new" digital drawing tablet together with a free software called Krita.

Haven't been doing art as much the past few weeks, mostly writing... lots of wurds that I probs won't share but hopefully will make me better at it in the end. Found free software called FocusWriter I'm really loving. It is stripped down to minimal elements but also really customizable visually.

Just a random irritated thought... does anyone else get annoyed when someone calls you "talented"? I guess for me it feels similar to how religious minded people in my life often would say "God has gifted you with talent" as if my own personal work & effort put into developing a skill meant nothing.

For the first time in a long while... I had a panicky stress dream about DJing live on the air. Reminds me that, while I love the radio and it was what brought me to this town in the first place, it was a major source of stress in my life... one I set behind me for pretty solid reasons... sadly.

I've decided lately that... whenever I get something that sounds like a telemarketing call... I will respond by promptly switching over to making disturbed hissing noises into the phone until they hang up on me.

Having some fun re-coloring and shading some old artwork. Here is something from 2016 of an antlered owl.

For some reason I totally had it in my head that Olympia's Arts Walk was today? And then I was bummed when I woke up an was feeling a little too "bleh" to drag myself downtown... but apparently my sense of time is as terrible as ever... and there is no arts walking to be had today after all... >_<;

Here's something I need to ink up eventually here... but thought I'd share this little line-up test I did of this two part illustration's blue-line roughs. The design for Wibbly Lanterns & The Prumbrill Hen... a Fae Librarian of the Lantern Towers who discovers joy in becoming a Magical Mime Girl~!

A colorized version of the second submission for spring's "Amalgum" comics zine... there were several theme words for the zine listed and apparently the organizer mentioned that "Turtle Feet" & "Diary" hadn't been used yet... so I drew up a submission covering both of 'em...

A single page gag comic featuring my characters Parsni & Pelma. Rushed this out for a zine published by a local artist's meetup group. Tried to replicate my old "inkwash" style of shading in Photoshop. It was originally a 4 panel comic but stretched into 8 for the sake of added ambiance.

Star☆Twinkle PreCure fanart of the 13th Star Princess (aka the villainess of the season that aired in 2019-2020). Honestly one of my favorite seasons of PreCure... love all the colorful space/star stuff in this season... great designs... & the singing magical transformation sequence was neat~! ☆♥♫♪

"Zombie Royalty" : An illustration for Olympia's "Night Drawer" get-together drawing zine collaboration thing where they pick a theme and you draw something to fit with said theme. I've tried to make them kinda' look like tarot cards every time.

Sleep? What is sleep? Another night without sleep... shopping at 9am in the morning... pharmacy person says "good night~!" to me after handing over my prescriptions... and I'm like... is it that obvious? Oh dear... (-_-;)

First fan-art I've drawn in a long time... an obscure lil' villain devil wizardy character named Chowder from the Sanrio film "Cinnamon the Movie" released in 2007.

Another snap of my "workspace"... this one is an old dumpstered flatscreen tv in the living room, via a computer running Pshop CS6 on a Windows 7 computer... the tablet is my old Wacom Bamboo that I got in Japan around 2010... so all around old slightly shoddy tech... but it works... somewhat...

Thought I'd snap a little shot of my cramped lil' workspace in the corner of my room.... the desk itself is something I've had with me since middle school... pretty small and rickety but it works... even if sometimes I wish I had a bigger and more sturdy space to work on... (^_^;)... also, Moomin~!♥

I was thinking about dragons in fiction this morning and how I want to depict them in future stories I write. While the idea of dragons collecting hoards of treasures is the classic image... I do wonder... what if those dragons equally delighted in sharing items from their collections with others?
