Roughs for Nuts, do I want to lock this in an era with this BG set at Dundas St West & Beverley St, looking west? The streetcars have changed since I started all this. Time to sharpen pencils, clarify gestures, start making decisions about that. #comics #process #art #drawing #toronto #sketch #NoAI

Out front of Reso Au Petit Extra in the rain on rue Ontario, 13 Oct 17:20 GMT-04:00. The rush hour line for the bridge as usual backed up the block here, usually two or three more at least. Taken with the new camera, croped and edited after. Then Glazed #photography #street #montreal

A bit more progress on #comic roughs after a lazy morning, and then junk shop adventurers and lunch with Ange on the bikes #NoAI #process

#Workblog Update: 10-12-26 Some new bobles came for my camera. Desk shot working on Nuts | Dream Life #comics pencils, between fits of doing some tidying, planning the week. Workshop area is coming along too nicely.

Fucking around with the new #camera. They need to make a manual focus lense for these with more range, focus peaking for the one they do make is pretty much useless. But it's pretty fun. #Insta360AcePro with a black mist filter on the lense. And then some post messing with levels and sharpening.

You should read the replies and threads under this for the full story.

Still reorganizing to do but new table and storage racks making a much more workable shop half of the studio for some future projects. Want to do more sculpture and mess with making puppets and stuff. What to do with 7yr of demos & studies from teaching at syn studio. Oscar had no suggestions.

Need to reboot my Comics making compulsions-have a stretch of part-time hrs coming up, want to try to make a dailyish habit of getting out to a cafe to do some page roughs and writing. This is a page for Nuts, to run in the next Mind Engine. #comics #process #drawing #art #café

I've posed some of my #memoir #comics to read for free over on Cara, you should check those out and share them with your friends!* 2 there and a 3rd in the digital edition of #MindEngine. [*he suggests in a blatant attempt to help motivate himself to work on the next one] cara.app/search?q=ABa...

If you don't give cookie #monster his tidings things can go very badly... LoL. Was a #fantasy #creature #doodle I started a while back, finished in it up after finding it partly done today. #Concept #art #drawing

Don't think there's conspiracies to make this happen in advance - this regime simply isn't that smart - but establishment liberals & fascists are quick to optimize the situation into their police state loving hands. Expect not be able to bring liquids to hotels & take your shoes off to check in.

'Word from the captured press is journalists & those in power may've felt a bit like school children on active shooter lockdown for the first time in their lives. And maybe, Americans are asking themselves what are they willing to accept to feel secure...' Cue Gestapo boot march Foley track...

The lengths of denial and self delusion Zionist - the so called 'Liberal Zionists' most of all - will go to in order to maintain their delulu about being on the right side of things would be dumbfounding, if I hadn't grown up around them and seen it in Evangelicals and New Age Essentialists too.
