In between set load in shifts for Annie, I managed to get in a few more sketches of Wendy for War Bunny. I am still struggling to find a way to make bunnies look menacing. #warbunny #character_design #pencilsketch

For today's daily practice, I decided to break out the charcoal and just make up some figures out of my head. Here is one. #charcoaldrawing #figuredrawing #dailyartpractice

I have a daily art practice. During these sessions, I have no rules, no goals, no long term stuff gets worked on. It is a time for pure exploration. Today, two small works came out of this.

Funny thing happened when I took my son to audition for the musical, Annie. The director asked me to audition too. I was like, "Uh, what? I don't even have anything prepared" Now, I am in a musical, acting, singing and dancing and stuff. September 18th - October 4th thelandingsv.org/events/scott...

I'm working on a larger piece which features poison oak prominently. So, I am doing some pencil studies in order to grasp the finer details and structure of the plant.

Funny how life in the tech world repeats itself. Back in the day, you had to wait for computers to compile your high-level code to machine code. It was always a puzzle to figure out what to do while you waited.

Happy Father's Day to all the pops out there. My family took me out for brunch. On the way, I got to pick out the music, so I chose the GenX classic, the Heavy Metal Movie Soundtrack. I think everyone really enjoyed how I described in detail how each track was used in the movie.

One of the great difficulties in life is that reality and what makes you feel good are often very different things. Sometimes, they are diametrically opposed.

Jeff Bezos on Trump: "Trump has lots of good ideas, and he’s been right about a lot of things." and "I think he is a more disciplined version of himself than he was in his first term." Why is it so hard for Bezos to criticize Trump?

Threatening genocide and war crimes is itself a war crime - especially when the one doing the threatening has the well-known ability to carry them out. The ICC should at this time issue a warrant for the arrest of Donald Trump on these grounds.

Art made by AI is driven by the audience. Art made by humans is driven by the artist. This is why AI art can be both beautiful but also have an empty feeling. Art made by a human is deeply different in ways that are hard for algorithmic distillations to replicate.

I find it interesting that the 2A freaks have for so long contended that we simply have to put up with children being murdered in mass school shootings in order to preserve our access to weapons, so we can defend ourselves from a tyrannical government.

I am really impressed with the work stoppage and protests happening in Minneapolis today. This is the way to fight fascism - with peaceful, public resistance. Americans don't want violence, and meeting force and violence with overwhelming peaceful protests is the way to win.

Apparently Europe is coalescing around a strategy to negotiate with Trump on Greenland. I believe this will fail. To my friends in Europe, it appears that you still do not understand Trump's psychology. I will try to help.

I find it fascinating that there is all of this focus by MAGA on illegal immigration. As if this is causing some great harm to our society. To be fair, there are some harms. There are also some benefits. So why all the focus on immigration? Why not other problems, like speeding? Let's take a look.
