Godspeed

Hope everybody had a great weekend. I took a drive today and just aimlessly wandered--I know, a luxury in today's economy what with gas prices still hovering around $4. I' ve been trying to shake off this malaise that's been on me. It struck me that everything I do is sedate, carefully measured, predictable, uninspiring. I have no problem with prudence, but lately I've been needing an adventure, something spontaneous. I need to jump into an open canyon, spread eagle and divebomb the world. I need to brace my feet, then launch into the air and hit the ground the running. It's who I've always been, and it's what I've been missing for quite a while. It's why I feel like progress has eluded me. I'm not fit to stay in one situation for too long. I've got to ride the wind.

I've been meaning to comment on the fact that Youtube flipped the format of user video history and likes. It used to be that you could only see your most recently viewed 100 vids, but you could see an endless list of liked videos. Now my viewing history goes back indefinitely, while videos I liked (aka have archived without having added them permanently to my list of favorites) are limited to the last 100. Ugh. This kind of stuff drives an obsessive archivist crazy.

Phil McAndrew tells it like it is.

Thanks to Luc LaTulippe of Drawn! for this one!

Nick Edwards is always is always in good form.

Thanks to Ryan Pequin for having talented friends.

And this one I owe to David Apatoff of Illustration Art, for the heads up on Kent Williams.

Sakimi-chan does some awesome deviations. Her blog is similarly awesome.

Squidface and the Meddler covered TCAF. Overall great website.

There are a lot of great arts here.

It was Steve Wolfhard's Birthday at TCAF. Cat Rackham Loses It debuted there, and then this week Nedroid inspired this International Draw Cat Rackham Day.

Ida Eva aka Jellyvampire is great.

I've been drawing He-Man a lot inexplicably. So then I drew a comic.



Earlier in the week I started this portrait of Kippery. She's great. I have some great ideas for comics I want to do now, including resurrecting a bunch of old ideas. I'm really excited to find some time to actually work this month. Wish me luck!

I Need A Doctor

I seriously do. I've been itching all over and I still feel all woozy inside like I'm still sick. Also fatigue. Fatigue, dude.

I bought this album recently:



You can buy it two if you want to be nice and support some people putting in on honest work to make new music. Summertime Magic is my favorite track so far.

Valerie Lapomme is cute in that nerdy way. Or the reverse.

I watched and read Coraline in their individual entireties this weekend. Both were ridiculously good. And then I listened to this Make Believers podcast. I am continuing to read the Supreme Power miniseries and will soon be jumping into the original Squadron Supreme story. I also started Heavy Liquid and finished the first Little Nothing book. I am a few chapters into Moral Disorder and The Penelopiad. I am extremely itchy and uncomfortable.

I had two Marie Callender's pot pies this weekend. They were delicious. I think I am going to go have some ice cream. I want to scan something I started drawing in my sketchbook but it looks fugly right now.
