The midweek weirdness is back. For whatever reason I was wanting to draw Lawrence from Office Space. But I also wanted to make it topical. How to do that?

Another week, another picture being thrown into the middle of a story? Who's story? Yours, of course.

Update: everything is good! They got all of the basal cell carcinoma in the first pass and then stitched me up and I was good to go. AND I now have a doctor's

Fear. We all have it. A LOT of it what with the quality of existence lately. But there are universal fears in the human experience.

So Saturday was a big day. Started out with a 5K at 9. My friend Stacey picked me up and we headed over. The race itself was okay. A few more hills than I'm

Wasn't sure if I'd have it in me to do this or not, but I pulled the prompts and the idea was so funny that I just popped it right out. The prompts were

I'm writing this on Friday, so no update on Saturday. I'm assuming it went well. But there's no true sketches this week.

*INCOHERENT SCREECHING AND CRASHING NOISES*

(One of) the big stories recently is the metric tonnage of "mystery meat" coming into the country to save us from grocery costs. The same administration who

Time for a swashbuckling (maybe?) One Panel VSS challenge. My prompts this week were "visitor" and "vessel". I really like watching tourists get smacked

Crazy week of race and zoo prep and I still managed to doodle a little. (Zoo paintings will be shown soon!)

25 years. You see the anniversaries every year but suddenly they've all added up. There will be a million think pieces about the historical significance of

Crazy busy week with the most important thing being our little old lady dog, Evie, had a checkup scan yesterday and hooray! Cancer free, still! That's the

Come watch the Paintmonkey live paint at Zoo Atlanta on September 19th for Sippin' Safari! Wine, music, animals, and artists!

Yet again, I'm not super happy with the result but I feel it's important to keep up with the practice! This week's prompts were "pencil" and "alive". A simple

I have a few behind the scenes doodles for you this week, including one that is a bit of process.

How much more can we take?

I should really think about making this a Toon Tuesday, but I had a crown put on Monday and I just didn't feel like finishing the drawing. So here we are.

My goal for the One Panel VSS's is to practice making imagery that tells a story so that if you just opened up a book and saw it...you'd possibly have an idea

I spent about half the day yesterday on the road visiting family and delivering art and birthday gifts. Also, I was lax on doodling because I was working on

I thought that week in January 2016 was bad. David Bowie on the 10th and Alan Rickman on the 14th. The rest of that year was AS awful (Prince, Carrie Fisher,

Every other news story lately is yet another food recall. Bacon, lettuce, bread, blueberries, eggs, and on and on and on. If the cost of groceries doesn't

Another week, another One Panel VSS challenge! My prompts were "book" and "smell". Why am I always making things grim?

More sketchy behind the scenes. A lot of odd stuff that shows just how many different directions my brain is jumping these days.

Looking around at this world is enough to drive anyone into the mental equivalent of Death Valley. Everything is terrible. The job market and the economy in

I am genuinely living up to the post title today! Over the weekend I was watching a Youtube video by Heather Cox Richardson (specifically THIS ONE) and she

Someone in the house has been listening to a lot of murder mystery podcasts and it MAY have seeped into my brain for this week's One Panel VSS. My prompts

Got a few doodles done this week. Big newsprint week.

It's Friday again and there's been so many awful things that I just...don't want to hear any more. At least for the day? I guess? You feel terrible for not

This one really IS random. I saw Skottie Young using one word prompts for a daily sketch and thought it looked like a nice way to do an art cleanse of the

Just a couple of sketches today, but it has been a VERY busy week for projects. I have a couple of big announcements coming but I have to pick up one of the

Every week and every single day WITHIN those weeks is some new awful thing. Capital One canceled Dumpty's accounts not because of his "politics" but because

This week's offering is a little different. I mentioned I was having a "creatively manic" summer and I still am. I have actually added to that and am

Start the week off with a grim little tale to be told. What did he do to deserve this fate? Was it as a man or a mascot? Was it related at all to his uniform?

Another Sunday is upon us as well as another...August? When the hell did THAT happen? Anyways here's a peek at a few pages of sketch oddities.

I am SO close to being able to share so much stuff going on! I am very excited about all of it but that's not exactly what today's musing is about.

I've had this concept in my head for awhile, but just now got around to it with more and more Flock privacy invasion stories coming to light and "Project

A weird little rural One Panel this week. My prompts were "fang" and "hen". What do you think is happening?

Another week of sneaky sketchbook peeks for you!

I have explained this week to a few people as "I am having an "artistically manic summer". I am working on a few projects and prepping for another and got a

A bit of a cheat as I did this one a few weeks ago, but I've been crazy busy. I got some new supplies and I am getting some practice in for a surprise yet to

This week's One Panel VSS was inspired by current world nonsense. My prompts were "beast" and "flock". I'll let you (as always) decide what's going on.

Another week has just flown by. A mixed bag. The ostensible leader of the free world gave a speech that was so dumb even Fox News ignored it the next day. Ice

Been thinking about astrology this week. I am not one to put stock into the woo-woo. I read horoscopes for funsies, but that's about it. (ARE those

(But not SO randomly...)

Another week and another writing prompt for you. (This week DOES feel a bit different now though, don't it?) On to business!
