Black and white ink on brown paper. A round plants guy snoozes in a plant pot. They are similar to the plant fellow from the previous panel, but have much bigger feet. They also differ in another way, the plant growing out of their head, instead is a sprout it’s grown like of two vines.

I made up my own #bugtober list because I felt like it, before I knew there were others out there, and also because I want to draw these. Feel free to use/gain inspiration from! #sciart #drawtober #drawingprompts

#InverteFest announcement: The December art book will be our 8th and last edition. We've been doing this since 2024 but my real life responsibilities have changed. We might revive the idea in the future in one form or another, but no promises. If you want in, this is your last chance.

Black and white ink on brown paper. A little plant fellow runs. They have a round head and two little legs, as well as a big sprout coming out of their head. The little one is running away from a light source to the left. Ahead of them is shadowed.

Coming to a zine fest near you (if you are near Raleigh, NC) this weekend. Coming to other folks in October. Zine fest site: www.zinefolknc.com
The cover of a comic:
ANECDON'TS: 2026 Diary Comics
by Andrew Neal
A drawing of my big head on the cover.The back cover of ANECDON'TS: 2026 Diary Comics by Andrew Neal.
It's mostly text.

Andrew Neal makes the bold move into autobiography in this
collection of diary comics from 2026. Get your publishing
contracts and awards ready, because he's getting divorced,
trying to get in shape, going to the doctor, and spending a
whole lot of time with his cats. 

This is your chance to learn all about the enigmatic genius
behind Meeting Comics and The Val Cannon Mysteries... or
maybe it's just your chance to learn that he apparently 
lives inside a gag comic.

The comics collected in this publication were created with
whatever tools he had at any given time. Various pens, 
brush pen, marker, crayon, colored pencil, and whiteout.A page from ANECDON'TS: 2026 Diary Comics by Andrew Neal.
Ink and colored pencil.

Caption: I joined a "fitness program" (app) for a trial period.
A drawing of my hands using a phone. On the phone is says "Which one are you" and there are four images of progressively blobbier dudes.A page from ANECDON'TS: 2026 Diary Comics by Andrew Neal.
Ink marker with a bit of blue colored pencil underdrawing showing.

3PM: I am standing in front of a door that says "TIRE." I say, "Here I am at a place which has a website which states they do car inspections.

I am at the counter of the tire place. The guy at the counter is saying, "We don't do inspections."

4PM: I am talking to two of my cats, Tip and Babydoll.
ME: Do ya'll want to go on a box with me?
BABYDOLL: Nope.
TIP: It's too cold.

ME: Babydoll, you haven't figured out the litterbox yet... do you want to at least go out and use it?
BABYDOLL: No.

BABYDOLL: I will just insist you let me out at a later more inconvenient time.

Doink! Doink! #comic
A four panel sketchbook comic. Black and white ink on yellow paper, with blue panel boarders. A little plant guy named Pip sits in the sun. In the next panel Pip is enjoying the rain. The plant sprout on top of Pip’s head suddenly grows two sizes! “Doink! Doink!” The sound of new growth. Pip is shocked at how tall their sprout has grown.

I was trying to draw a Snallygaster but I couldn't remember what that looked like, so this is what I ended up with #horror #darkart
A monstrous creature with wing arms, digitigrade legs ending in long talons, and a head with one eye, five tentacles coming out the bottom where the rest of its face would be, and a large fin on its head. There are also several small bat-like creatures (also with one large eye each) fluttering around it.

One of my much earlier drawings.
An extreme closeup showing a series of blue-green lines on a black backgroundA slightly zoomed out view showing this is part of a black wing with an iridescent shine.More zoomed out - we now see some spiky black legs and a spotted cream and black body. It's a beetle.The full drawing - its a goliath beetle with large spread wings.

Painting the same butterfly at age 20 and 30. Never give up on your art!
Two digital paintings of the same large yellow-and-black tiger swallowtail butterfly. The one in the upper left is labeled "2016." It has a more painterly style with some questionable proportions and anatomy. The one on the bottom right is labeled "2026" and is far more realistic, to the point it looks as though it might come to life and flit off the page at any moment. It's hard to believe I've only been a scientific illustrator for ten years, though that really was a whole lifetime ago. Thank you HRT for letting me live this long. :)

To be clear, I have no issue with fanart. I have no issue with people who do work for hire on corporate comics, which is a lot like fanart to me, especially at current page rates. My issues are about impinging on your neighbor's ability to sell.
