I should still have a set of furry tarot T-shirts featuring Deal's art that I got at... what must have been CF2? Wonderful stuff; his work gives me Ken x Terrie Smith vibes in the best of ways.

Time for another #OldArtMonday

Here is "Topher, the world's cutest otter" -- but giant.

The pencils are from 1988 by @kencougr.bsky.social

The inked image is from 1989 by Topher's creator Deal Whitley.

Ken would have fun drawing people's characters giant with the byline "slightly altered."

If you ever think today's meme's and pop-culture are unhinged...

Remember that Michael Jackson's first number one single as a solo artist was a ballad that he sang about a murderous rat in 1972.

We've always been a little screwy.

The code is not complicated. Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.

As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles
Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

A full hour before the Elvis/Christmas set we already had audience members seated. Wow.

I think we’ve tapped a demographic that is not the usual orchestra crowd.

Also, there’s a cute kid in full Elvis outfit in the front row.

Oh hey. Speaking of music stuff, how many of you have had a chance to play an Elvis-Christmas orchestra concert?

I've played two. Which isn't a lot. But I am surprised I've played two of them.

So. at the tail end of 3 weeks of 12 rehearsals and 4 concerts... the final item is Alumni Band. Apparently the college social media team is having fun using pictures of some of us old-farts to stir up interest.

29 years later. Still have proper horn angles without thinking about it.

Missed this earlier ... let's do an #OldArtMonday

"Hey! Can I get a copy of that?"

Scanners were rare/expensive in the early days. It was more common to have access to a photocopier.

These @kencougr.bsky.social pencils from a 1993 blackbook-entry arrive here via a photocopy. Burn-line and all.

I almost feel bad for the music accounts that just auto-followed me for using words like "audiophile" and "genre-bending."

Hey @firr.bsky.social ...

Do you happen to own this genre-bending finger-licking-good audiophile suppository?

We've been renovating the kitchen. After half-a-year of using only a toaster oven, we have a full-sized oven again

Did some test baking tonight: Banana breb and coconut pie.

Boy... nothing shatters a mental workflow than the knowledge of "you have a 15 minute one-on-one with the CEO in a hour and a half."

Welp. I /was/ getting stuff done.
