Good news for the folks who helped out my friend Amy B. by donating to her GoFundMe: your special (unlimited) edition Night Cats trading card is on its way to you. (I told you the final version would be better than my original draft.) Would you like your very own Night Cats trading card? It's... Continue Reading →
Family Portrait with Repaired Automobile: #The100DayProject2019
A simple blog entry, for once: We were in trouble. We needed help. Many friends helped us out. We are more grateful than we can express. We can't thank them enough, but this is the design for the thank you cards our friends will be receiving. We are the luckiest people in the world to... Continue Reading →
Lab Cats: #The100DayProject 2019
After going to night school (get it?) for some specialized training, the Night Cats have returned to offer their aid and assistance. And giant tools. Yes, they should be wearing safety goggles and hearing protection. The Night Cats and I would like to use this omission as an opportunity to remind everyone that they should... Continue Reading →
The Manx!: #The100DayProject2019
Free Comic Book Day was on Saturday, May 4th this year; it's always fun when one nerd holiday coincides with Star Wars Day ("May the Fourth Be With You"), another popular nerd holiday. FCBD is hands-down one of my favorite days of the year, and I have no doubt that this is largely due to... Continue Reading →
Happy Birthday, Mr. B!: #The100DayProject2019
In September, 2019, Mr. B and I will have been married for 30 years. (If you're so inclined, pearls are the traditional gift for 30th anniversaries; diamonds are the modern gift. I'm kidding of course. We'd prefer kazoos.) In that time, he's come to learn that gifts from me for important occasions such as birthdays... Continue Reading →
Glow In The Dark Things Are the Best Things: Day 22, #The100DayProject2019
Confession: I kind of have a ... thing ... about objects which glow in the dark. This fascination might have its roots in my childhood fear of the dark, but at heart, I just think GITD items are super-cool. I would paint my house in glow-in-the-dark paint if it were possible. Recently, the folks... Continue Reading →
The Sick Kit: Days 20 & 21, #The100DayProject2019
Some sort of stomach bug precluded me from doing a drawing yesterday, but it did afford me the chance to reflect on illnesses past. I was sick a lot as a child. (I am ill a lot as an adult, too, but that's a different story for a different day.) The common cold, ear infections,... Continue Reading →
Millions of Emus: Day 16, #The100DayProject2019
My eyesight has been terrible for most of my life; trying to read headlines on the internet has done nothing to improve it. I realized within a split-second, of course, that the actual headline I saw was "French billionaires, companies pledge millions of euros to rebuild Notre-Dame," but the mental image conjured by my initial... Continue Reading →
Night Cats: Day 14 #The100DayProject
There is not much drawing on this page of Night Cats, except for the faux-scroll. But on a day of unimaginable loss, maybe the words are enough. Materials: Canson Mi-Teintes paper (black); Posca paint markers, Bazzill Stars kraft paper with foil. Save
Night Cats, Day 13: #The100DayProject2019
In yesterday's post, I mentioned that the Chief Night Cat -- appearing as the merest sliver of a waxing moon-- was inspired by my own late cat Henry. Henry appears again today, as DayCat. Because Henry was orange, like the morning sun, and because, as in the line from the "For I will consider my... Continue Reading →
