Just Chillin'

As my boss would say, "there are irons in the fire"...  though I wish I was sitting near that fire, right about now. I'm back in Michigan for a few weeks, helping my friend as he recovers from...

The Next Day pg 7

It took over a year, but this part of Daisy's long weekend is FINALLY finished! The rest of her weekend, though... that's something for me to worry about later. There's more to tell, but my desire ...

Progress, at last!

Yesterday, I'd finally decided that I had no excuse to not work on the next comic page. Smoking a turkey all day kept me meant that I couldn't do much else, since every hour I'd need to check the s...

Plans & whatnot

Something I bring up from time to time, is my desire to work on a VR recreation of Disney's America Sings. Such a project WAS actually happening, for a time (during the pandemic shutdown), but unfo...

Franken-Daisy alts

Happy Halloween!

The variants might have to wait until tomorrow, but I at least wanted to get this version finished today!

Workspaces

Something a little different - I thought I'd show my current options for where I can draw (and how things tend to go sideways).

My first option was by the river, 1000 ft away from the house. ...

Franken-Daisy progress

While there's still two days left to get her costume drawn and then ink and/or color this, the question is will I be able to do so.  The brain-fog is still fairly thick.  After settling o...

Peace and quiet apparently IS too much to ask...

I don't think I can properly convey just how fragile my ability or desire to draw is, right now. It's been over a year since I've drawn anything beyond quick thumbnail sketches, so I'm rusty. But o...

'tis the season (to be spooky)

It's been a couple of weeks, so what have I been cooking up?

...not a whole lot. Unfortunately the art side of my brain isn't something I can just switch on whenever I want. The changing seas...

Flashing back and walking on egg shells

Lately I've been having some ideas that would flash back to when Daisy was younger, so we could see her, Mary, and Mimi as kids, and also may see how the animosity from Candice came about.  On...

FREE!

As of this evening, my contract is complete, and I am a free agent once again!

After taking some time to clear my head, the first thing I may work on should be the next comic page, so I can f...

Monique Intro

Recently I was asked for a short story, as a response to the 100th question on my CuriousCat page. I started thinking of what stories I could tell, that for one reason or another I either wouldn't ...

Pending Freedom

I've just been informed that my contract will not be extended past the end of September. While I will miss the income, it'll be nice to be able to work on my own ideas again. And as usual, I have a...

Gallery Building

The online landscape has changed quite a bit, over the past year, in ways that've made me glad that I haven't really needed to keep up with them. NTFs and AI? One already crashed & burned, so m...

Winds of Metamorphoses

Lately I've been coming up with new side-projects to obsess over, but the problem with all of them is having to wait until my contract is done before starting any of them. I've no desire to work in...

Checking In

Nothing new to report as far as Daisy is concerned, unfortunately.

The Friday before July 4th, I was looking forward to having a 4-day weekend, though I wasn't sure that that would be the cas...

Amazing

It's almost July, and I've been thinking about sweaters for at least a week...

Also the sweater will NOT be orange. Or pink. Haven't decided, beyond that.

Velma analysis & critique

Yup. THAT show that everyone dogpiled on, and said was the worst thing ever... I watched it each week (no subscription), at first to see if it was as bad as people were saying. They've been wrong a...

Waiting

Every time I think my seasonal brain-fog is lifting, a thought pops into my head that confirms that nope, it hasn't. One thing affecting my mood is that I'm not just waiting for this to pass, I'm w...

Scribblings from the road

Between driving from Florida to Arizona and dealing with crappy hotel wifi for a week, I've been getting some ideas.

Still Alive!

I may be busy, but the creative side of my brain is slowly waking up. That could be a problem, because for me there are few things worse than having ideas and no time to work on them...

On th...

Paused

Work has me feeling drained again, lately, so I think it's best that I hit the pause button and try to clear my head.

Update - work still has me busy/drained, so I've hit the...

Kicking Up Dust

This week I'm back to work, and stuck between not having much to actively work on, while also having to babysit some mostly-automated but CPU-intensive tasks.  So while I arguably have time to...

Breast Friends Pajama Party wip

This one took way too long to get started on. Being rusty, sitting down to draw is a challenge, and the slightest interruption can pull me out of it. And time off from work seems to signal to every...

More for the pile

Work is intruding on my time off...  All day today, any time I'd sit down to clear my head, I get a ping that I'd really rather not have to deal with until next week.

Getting the next co...

December catch-up

I think I'm officially on vacation for the rest of the month, so next week I'd like to do some catch-up...

These are probably the last sketches I'll ever do...

...on my Galaxy S3 tablet, because I upgraded to a S8 Ultra. I'd been thinking about its bigger screen for a while, so the Cyber Monday deal made it even more tempting. Once I have time to refine i...

Suddenly - IDEAS!

Earlier I was sitting in my chair, feeling somewhat recharged after the past two days, and wanting to draw. But what? Then some ideas started trickling in!  The Mimi one could be part of a ser...

It sounded better in my head

"Crop-top hoodie" didn't work quite as well as I'd hoped... I mean, part of the idea was that it wouldn't work, but to really have fun with that, I'd have to do at least a single-page comic, when I...
