DrawManda

My buddy @cybermanj.bsky.social got me the cutest Togemon magnet as a get well gift! Thank you, John! ❤️

I’m having a hell of a time drawing currently, so I’m choosing to write. I may have the jankiest fucking setup possible in bed, but damn it, I’m making it work!

I do not wear boredom well, my friends.

I got through my surgery! They let me bring Surgeon Caine in with me, and gave him a sticker and a wrist band, too.

My shit’s so clean, yo! I don’t know if it’s anxious energy or some bizarre kind of reverse nesting before my hysterectomy, but I woke up early this morning and have been cleaning like a manic chipmunk ever since! Floors? Washed? Random stuff? (Mostly) organized. Living room? CLEAN AS FUCK!

m.youtube.com/watch?v=aKrq... What?! This song goes SO HARD! I can’t believe it’s about Minecraft, of all things!! I’ve never been played it, but the artistry in this video is absolutely amazing!

The Superman No Smoking Ad, but I lost the audio track and dubbed it from memory

Guys, Jailer 2 fucking ROCKED! The first half was so hilarious, it had me in tears! The second half had me in actual tears… and then Matthew played chicken with a goddamned AIRPLANE, which made me feel better. It was so much fun to watch!!

…And then, 6 months later, I end up with something like this! 6 months isn’t the norm, but this one did indeed take that long. Call it a labor of love, but I fell for Spellmonger by Terry Mancour and wanted to illustrate at least one scene in the greatest possible detail I could manage!

If anyone is curious how I mock out my drawings, here’s how I do it! I draw little rectangles on scratch paper, until I frame it the way I want in a very basic way. I like to add details as I go, so once I have a basic concept, I take it and run.

open.spotify.com/album/5kW2gu... I swear, I haven’t been this entertained by an album since I heard the Repo! The Genetic Opera soundtrack for the first time! Well. Done.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugzP... Wait just one damned minute— I’M GONNA BE ABLE TO SEE RAJNI IN IMAX?!?! I am SO freaking excited!! The full soundtrack for Jailer 2 just released. It is absolutely amazing— so, even if it sucks, I know I’ll be entertained!

Throwback to that time I designed a Ryuk pumpkin for a Halloween decorating contest I entered in Maryland, back when the outlet mall in Hagerstown used to be called The Prime Outlets! I won, too! ⭐️🖤

I’m having a fairly major surgery in just a few weeks… so, what did I do? I bought surgical scrubs for my Caine plushie, who will be accompanying me into the operating room.

@whamgram.bsky.social I totally didn’t realize this was you, Whamgram! Hiiii! (I’m still very new to Bluesky.)

Throwback to one of my FAVORITE drawings I’ve ever done! In The Radio Tower, done for a fanfiction called Under My Skin by WhamGram! Here’s the link: archiveofourown.org/works/536811...

So long, Coca Cola fridge! 😢 With a puff of smoke, your future went poof… but you did good, buddy.

I’m stoked to see The Paradise tonight! It looks like the perfect blend of Indian over-the-top action and Mad Max! Whether it’s good or bad, I think it will be entertaining! m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3xe...

I got my prints back yesterday and am processing them for the next show now! I’m stoked— the last convention I did, I totally sold out of that Jax print t the bottom left (a first for me, considering I got 25 copies of him!)

I promised a group of teens that I’d have a Pomni button at my next event and, by god, I’m determined to keep that promise! (Here I am, four days before the next convention— proving that I am an unrepentant procrastinator.)
