Hi patrons!
Here are some things I've been up to in between jury duty, drawing political cartoons for Barry, and being on hold with Unemployment. The watercolor is from a photo I took of Walnut St in Pittsburgh. I hate that natural light makes everything SO BEAUTIFUL several hours before I want to be up and about. (I'm being dramatic. It was 8:30am.)
One perk of jury duty in Multnomah County is that the building overlooks the Willamette River and has huge windows.

I'm still doing Abbott Elementary drawings when it's too late to think and too early to go to bed.

Naomi requested this scene from "Class Pet" redrawn as a film noir:
Did I have to look up the scene in Blade Runner where Harrison Ford is in what's-his-name's office and dig into my SuperButch reference folder for 1940s outfits [thank you omgthatdress on Tumblr] and pause Hulu in a couple of places to find the right facial expressions for everyone? No, but yes.
I've been listening to Connie Willis' latest book, The Road to Roswell, while I draw. It's a delightful sci-fi road trip western comedy. Is anyone else a Connie Willis fan? Someone recommended To Say Nothing of the Dog in a Tumblr post since lost to time, and I'm eternally grateful. Spoiler for The Road to Roswell in panel 2, if you want to skip that postcard.
Thanks, as always, for supporting me on Patreon!
