I feel I should post here more often, but I also don’t get any engagement. Vicious cycle really. Have some animals with Korean-English puns: The money shrew (pronounced like ‘don’t touch me’), the guy who was turned into a newt/infinity sign, and a sunfish who doesn’t know its own name (Mola Mola).

January first was a special Drink and Draw event featuring comic book legend and DC comics current Chief Creative Officer Jim Lee. One of my friends really loved his cover of X-Men issue 5 featuring Wolverine and Omega Red, so I redrew it with a wolverine and a can of (Omega) Code Red Mountain Dew.

Most Thursdays I join a drink and draw group at a local comics and board game shop. It was started by this comic artist, Bob Layton. Anyway, each week he has a theme and I’m told that this week it’s ‘monster heros’. Now in my defense, no one wrote that down.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Dear Bluesky…. Why is your algorithm all of a sudden spitting crappy A* images to my feed?!? You are supposed to know better. I only like and comment on real art by real artists, I block a* art. Why is it becoming more frequent?!?

Explaining how you plagiarized (turning in/ claiming someone/something else’s work as your own) does not prevent it from being plagiarism. I’m not saying all AI is plagiarism, but simply slapping your name on the output of the machine is.

So my home state of South Dakota has a flag that says the name of the state twice. I’m here thinking that’s obviously not enough. Someone might still mistake us for another state. So I decided to do a little update. Make it very clear. #flags

My wife was unfamiliar with TikTok so I pulled it up to show her. I don’t use it because ick (whatever algorithms are supposed to find me what I like did not work quickly enough for me to care) and what does it serve me first? Some Trump meme. Yeah, not convincing me to hang around.

So I go to a drink and draw most Thursdays. I did not finish my piece but here’s a WIP for it anyway. The theme was ‘snake’ in honor of the new year, so of course I went with Snake, Snake, Serverus Snake. Hopefully I’ll finish it next week.

The weight of responsibilities versus the desire to just make art. Great way to feel guilt no matter what. Unfortunately that means procrastination leads to just as much guilt. Gaaaah. Anyway, went to an exhibit about Austrian artists 100 years ago. Need to get back to arting.
