Pen and watercolor 

Cowboys again. This time one of our boys has lost his boots. Standing in a field of long grass the cowboy points towards the ground and shouts back to his colleague, “Lil bone people got muh boots.” This makes no sense to the other cowboy who sits atop his horse away from the action. He responds, “Lil wut?” Sure enough in the foreground we see a squad of little bone people scampering through the grass with the stolen cowboy boots. They’re thrilled. How the bone people got the boots off the cowboy is unclear.

Artist’s note: I tend to draw drawings from the same perspective (straight on) most of the time. This idea came about when I was goofin around trying to draw a character from a lower angle. I like that the story unfolds with the foreground, mid-ground, and background all working together. There’s a draft of this one included in the Spooky Pants book. Coming out next week!

I would be much more likely to visit the Lucas museum if there was a secret room, decked out to look like a slightly messy apartment, that was just a gallery full of pictures of Carrie Fisher having a nice time.
Carrie fisher and Meryl Streep  in 1991 at a party. They booth have blonde bobs and Carrie is urgently feeding Meryl chocolate cakeCarrie Fisher with short dark/res hair and. Black dress at a party in 1990 she is holding a cigarette and is doing a silly duck face with her hands to her ears. Tom hanks stands behind her Carrie fisher and Harrison ford at a party in someone’s apartment - I’m guessing around 2003?

She holds him close with her face in his chest and they both stare with faux, scandalous intensity into the camera Carrie fisher (black dress) and Margot Kidder (white blouse -
Holding a drink) at a party around 1980 if I had to guess they’re both smiling like crazy - it looks like Margot just told a funny story

It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better

VAKTRAK SIGHTING
photo of a train on the subway tracks but it’s not a passenger train, it looks freighty and says VAKTRAK on the side Photo of the connection between two of the vaktrak’s cars. It’s a sealed chute of some kind, I assume for blowing trash from one car to the next the rear car of the VAKTRAK which appears to consist only of a shitload of batteries

me reading your posts
a painting of a lady in a black ruffly dress with matching hat. she is sitting in a wicker chair before an abstract garden scape. she is probably embroidering something but the object in her hand sorta looks like a smartphone viewed from the side. she is looking up at the viewer with a blasé expression

A member of ACT UP said that during the peak years of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s: “We went to funerals and buried our friends in the morning, protested in the afternoon and then fucked danced and partied all night.” Because the world is on fire, it’s on us to live out loud. We need to do it all.

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.
A screenshot of WhatsApp:

Ash: Sebastián, I have one very pressing question.
Sebastián Di Martino: Let me know
Ash: Are jaguar soft?
Sebastián Di Martino: They are very soft (two hearts on the answer)

Do not give up your brain
It's tempting to just let tools think for you, but you still need to be able to think for yourself and stay sharp.
