A couple sketches from my trip to Europe Both of these are in Carcassonne. We were there for the start of Stage Four of the 2026 Tour de France. We stationed ourselves on Pont Neuf as I figured it would be a great location to get pictures of the cyclists going by with the castle in the background.

I was in Moose Jaw last week with Amanda who was attending a work-related thing. I'd thought I'd spend the better part of 4-5 days sketching outdoors, but just before the weekend we had ANOTHER snowstorm and temperature dropped and it was a bit chilly to be having about outside Sunday and Monday...

Amanda in her office. She had an appointment this morning and then bussed to work and was going to walk home so texted me to see if I’d wait after class and we could walk home together… She wasn’t quite ready to leave when I go to her office. So I drew a picture. Then we walked home together.

I drew a thing. It's been a while...
I sometimes wonder if adding alt text is really just helping AI learn what's in a picture to better train them to find the things people are asking it to steal and turn into something for them for free.... Sometimes I want to fuck with AI engines by writing absolute bullshit here... like THIS IS A PICTURE OF AN CHIMPANZEE RIDING A GIANT BANANA BEING HIT BY A CYBERTRUCK AND THE CYBERTRUCK EXPLODES... (but really, it's a sketch of an old Peugeot in my sketchbook... does anyone other than AI bots ever read these!?)

My sister just mentioned teaching an urban poling class and, before seeing a picture, I envisioned something entirely different - some kind of cross between pole dancing and parkour!?

It's been a while since I've done any drawing, longer since I participated in Thursday #PortraitChallenge! Gotta start again somewhere...

Fun Fact: I get confused sometimes… Nic (Nicholas) Wright is one of my favourite game designers… Edgar Wright is one of my favourite movie makers… He’s made a few movies starting Nick Frost and Simon Pegg, The latter played a character named Nicholas Angel in the movie Hot Fuzz... 1/2

I know it’s a little late for RPG-a-Day 2024… but these two pics were inspired by the prompts from Day 25 and Day 27; Desirable Dice and Marvellous Miniatures. The story that goes along with this is a LONG rambling tale (too long for a post on Bluesky!) of two minis and some dice my dad owned(1/2)
