I tried to fill the car with petrol/gas but it only went to $40, shrugged and went inside. Used the bathroom and went to pay. The cashier says it’s already paid … she didn’t know how and neither did I. We paid for an additional $40. Out that in and drove out.

As we’re pulling away I see the waitress from inside knocking off her shift like it was over when we left. I kept driving down the road and tried not to look back in the mirror.

This was a weird dream logic type road stop. It had a tiny diner with worn wooden floors, closing for the day. The corridor to the bathrooms was literally half size and the bathroom was painted in my favourite purple.

I used to make my art and share it online for free. These days I’m making art and not sharing it online as I realise there’s a mental cost to sharing it online that I can’t pay anymore.

Handy Canadian postal rates chart! (I had to photograph this at the post office - the info isn’t easy to find on their website.)

I’ve drawn over 20 pages of diary comics in the past 6 months that I haven’t shared publicly. Honestly it’s been kind of refreshing to just make them for myself and not have to worry how many likes they’ll get.

Keep forgettgin to mention that I added this new story boarding template called 'Who has four thumbs', based on an exisiting design.

I hadn't realised Ko-Fi had added a variant feature. I have added the bonus guides as a paid option to the basic free guide. ko-fi.com/s/e039f21932

While I was trying, and failing, to fall asleep last night I started thinking about panels variations for a classic comic page. E.g., three tiers. Each tier can either have a wide panel, two panels, or three panels. This would give you a total of 27 panel combinations for a page …

You could also add three more variations, 1-join tiers 1&2. 2- Join tiers 2&3 3- full ‘splash page’. This gives a total of 30 panel page combinations. (You could definitely add in even more combinations but I’ll keep it simple.)

This is just how my mind goes into overdrive when I can’t shut it off. It did make me think that it would be a cool challenge to make a 30 page comic that contains each page variation.

This post is relevant again 🇨🇦

It’s hard to know exactly what to say about everything going on. I think I’m going to need to make a few comics to try and make some inroads. This is my first comic about Canada now bordering a hostile nation.

Can anyone give me a ball park estimate for live visual transcription/facilitation rates? Also do you charge per minute, 15 min, hour etc

Welcome to all my new art resources followers! This is a comic template that I made for Procreate. It’s set up with a guided and labelled and grouped layers to make a comic page.

I forgot I made this comic using my Spinach Procreate comic page template to promote my Spinach Procreate comic page template! Get it here for free 😊 ko-fi.com/s/e039f21932

I Love Boosters was so good! It was everything and more I hoped it might be. So good to see original cinema that feels relevant and refreshing. Great sets, acting, directing, cinematography, costumes, everything.

I’ve been seeing lots of spider man tshirts with art from McFarlane and others. The little signature box is wiped clean but kept in place.

I think I’ve finally got the overlap bug out of my ‘Zipatone’ pattern brush for Procreate. It was fine unless you zoomed out. This means I’ll be able to offer through my Kofi soon as part of a pack I’m developing.

I want to make a comic that explains how art is more than technical skill and is more about what story it tells. I think it’s the main thing that AI lovers don’t get. It’s not all about technical skill necessarily, it’s about heart and intention.

I hate to ask this question as I get it as an artist all the time. But I genuinely believe I have a solid idea that could be really cool and pretty straight forward to make.

I need to find someone with some programming / coding experience that is also interested in writing comics. I have a fully developed concept for a small app for writing comics.

I’m still chipping away at some personal comics. I’m torn between keeping that to myself and saying hey I’m still ticking over here.

This should be the official description when you click on the Widow’s Bay thumbnail 😂

apple tv! it's about a mayor on a small island in new england who is trying to turn the little town into a big tourist location while trying to ignore that the island is cursed as fuck

We went to an awesome fireworks display last night with a collection of songs to go with it. A couple next to us was visibly concerned after they played an Indian sounding bop, “are they going to play a Canadian artist … “ they were very relieved when Bryan Adams came on 😂

We’re on vacation in the place we’re staying has pre-ground coffee and a coffee maker. The coffee actually tastes pretty good but we’re all convinced it’s decaf 😂

Just over a month ago I changed my job. Still with the library but a new location with different responsibilities. I’m glad to say I no longer dread going to work. A combination of a better situation and an attitude change.

Last week the despair got a little too much. I had to make a comic about the feeling even though I’m being a little bit repetitive here. I’ve been having a better week since this and I have some cool things I’m working on right now to distract me.
