I anticipated that it would be good, but this graphic novel is stunning!
Maybe the best thing I've read this year.

Still chipping away at this backlog. I've enjoyed taking different approaches to drawing faces. I find that the more I draw, the more I simplify. The Studio is one of the best shows I've watched so far this year.
Sketches of Seth Rogen in The Studio, Paddington Bear with a sandwich, Brett and Jermaine from Flight of the Conchords, and Superman from the 2025 film.

Working on the show/film doodle sketch backlog.
The Bear is one of my favourite shows currently airing, and I can't believe it took me so long to start watching Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Doodles of four people from TV shows. Vanessa Bayer from I Love that for You, Nathan Fielder from The Rehearsal, Jeremy Allen White from The Bear, and Larry David from Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Very behind on my tv/film doodle log, so I did a few during tonight's game ⚾
Tonight I tackled The Naked Gun, and Side Quest, a 4 episode spin off of Mythic Quest. Drawn on a Boox eInk tablet.
A cartoonish drawing of Frank Dreblin Jr from the 2025 The Naked Gun movie poster, beside the name of the movie. Three hands are touching his chest and forehead. A drawing of the protagonist of each episode of the show side quest, surrounding the Mythic Quest character Ian.

w/o downloading anything new - where are you mentally?
In the first frame a man is reading a blue book titled "how to stop stressing about tasks". In the second frame we can see the inside page of the book. He is pointing to text that says "complete the task". In the third frame the man begins to cry.

A few drinks, a glue stick, and some old LCBO and NatGeo magazines resulted in an 8 page zine about a creepy picnic.
Collage is an underrated form of creativity.
A small folded zine lays on the grass. The cover features a large ladybug climbing on two small hamburgers in a green landscape under a blue sky. The zine is titled Picknic and is by Elyxandra.

This pizza and cool ranch Doritos Collisions piqued my interest, but now I can't unsee the red/blue background bisected by a white lightning bolt as anything other than a Grateful Dead homage.
A bag of Doritos Collisions corn chips featuring both pizza and cool ranch flavours. The fet side of the bag is red, and the right side is blue, divided by a white lightning bolt shape. The logo for the band The Grateful Dead which features a stylized skull illustration. The skull sits on a blue and red circle, and on the top of a skull there is another circle which is half red, half blue, and divided by a white lightning bolt.

I made myself a new tote bag to show off some of my pins and patches. I haven't decided which ones will live here, and which will adorn my future battle vest.
A black tote bag featuring a design of 4 rectangular spaces separated by dashed lines. One of the spaced features the text "I collect things". The spaces are filled with an assortment of patches and pins. A black tote bag with a design of shapes outlined in dashed lines. There are 3 lines of shapes, each featuring two circles, and one unique shape including a triangle, a star, and a Pentagon. Two of the circles have patches centered in them.

Made a little show-log sketch page as a test of my new eInk notebook. Yes, I'm very behind and just finished Ashoka.
Shading process was a bit rough, so maybe I need to find a better drawing app for it.
A page featuring sketches from the show Ahsoka including Asoka, a Loth-Cat and and Howler.

Passing by the waste station at Starbucks I perceived the teabag icon as a dongle. I assume it has to do with its proximity to the icon of an apple with a bite, and my indoctrination into the Mac ecosystem in university.
Forgetting your dongle was almost worse than forgetting your wallet!
A series of icons depicting items that should be disposed of in the garbage. Items include drink bones, food waste, napkins, tea bags, paper bowls, plastic film and wrapping.

I'm starting the month of my 40th birthday with a new painting in a brand new sketchbook, with a brand new ceramic palette, to set an intention of creativity for the coming decade.
A sketchbook lays open on a desk beside a ceramic paint palette. The book has a drawing of a large leafed plant in a pot, with a red wash over the page. The background has been painted in a neutral mauve colour.

Last year I started collecting Grommets, with the intention of binging them once all 7 were out. It was a challenge not to flip through each stunning new issue, but well worth the wait! The trade paperback is coming out next month, so if you missed the singles, I encourage you to check it out!
Seven issues of the comic book series Grommets.

Relaxing with a LEGO build on a Sunday night

Gifted myself a few hours at a cafe to write and sketch today. Really helped to clear my head.

Reviewing my results for this fruit ranking trend, I realize I really really like fruit, and I don't know why I don't eat it more often.

I've had a cold for a week now, so I finally caved and bought some cough syrup. I'm still learning to appreciate the taste...

Just began reading my first Brandon Sanderson novel for a book club. He's an author that I've seen a lot of praise for, so I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of worlds he builds.
Would love to hear any thoughts or suggestions for his other works!

Dinner at a 96 year-old's house the other night was a good reminder to use the good dishes, and enjoy life.
