#sketchbook November 2025. saw Cellarmaker has a new beer called "Hop Making Sense" which of course led me to rewatch one of my favorite concert films of all time, the #TalkingHeads 'Stop Making Sense' which in turn led me to trying to #draw frontman David Byrne repeatedly #art #drawing #artshare

Every once in a while I find a scrap of paper or cardboard and just #doodle random stuff on it as a casual exercise, and every once in a while something remotely amusing will surface. Such as "spooky dooky"
I've left it taped up somewhere in Japantown for people to either steal or trash. #art

This time some years ago, I was blissfully meandering through #Copenhagen. A really exceptional metrópole. #zeruchontour

New #art, "libris saturnalia" involves some unearthed experiments I did painting acrylics (and cutting into) all over some textured book covers from the 1950s, scanning, then atomic pixel-smashing with other mixed media I did on cold press board/ masonite. #artshare #abstractpainting

#art #timelapse ...just a quicky figure study. Kind of debating whether I should radically mess with this or just leave it as practice work. I do that often, and end up putting it all into flat files that I dig through an arbitrary intervals to "practice on top of practice"

RIP to Anthony Jackson, an electric bassist who helped revolutionize the instrument, and an astonishingly broad session history: Hiromi, Chaka Khan, Been Gees, Madonna, Pat Metheny, and the O'Jays among them.
I sketched this #drawing of AJ back in August of 2023.

I periodically enjoy making a post meal digestif; This uses a really flavorful corn whiskey, Michelberger (A fantastic substitute for green chartreuse that's also good on its own), olalliberry shrub, huckleberry infused honey, and lavender/lemon soda. I haven't given it a name. #cocktails #mixology

Yeah, so this is why data brokers should be regulated into oblivion, and why firms that sell their customer data to them, should have contractual obligations to liquidate ALL C-level bonuses when their negligence results in a data breach...or jail time (I'm not picky on that part)

I've recently been on a bender of experiments with both new kaleidoscopy scripts merged with texture building using acrylics (inks and paint) with brayers and palette knives.
Lots of unfinished, but promising ideas. #art #workinprigress #artshare

RIP #DAngelo. "Black Messiah" is probably his least famous, but I consider most realized, work. The drawing was done very quickly in parallel pen.
