I often work with knitted fingerless gloves. They're like a cozy pillow for my hands.
pale hand in a fingerless glove, that's blue and fluffy

Finally trying a Harmony Test with Hurricane Vendetta Animatic Art (why do you think I try to make the lines so clean??)

The background got faded in the software, but I'm not mad about it. #indie #animation #harmony #animate #animationsky

Remember that time I drew that Barbie Starlight Adventure graphic novel? This was a color test. No they didn't let me color the book, but if I had, that ish would've sang.
Screenshot of color test from Barbie Starlight Adventure graphic novel. We see the Clip Studio Paint user interface framing the artwork. The picture is of blue haired guy sitting at a spaceship console, with a purple haired dark-skinned girl standing next to him. He has impress pauldrons on his shoulders while she has a colorful, silver sparkly, rainbow gradient striped outfit. Trust me it's cute.

The only controller I know how to draw is a Playstation controller. Sorry, Xbox fans.
Storyboard panel of two hands holding a game controller loosely based on the Playstation controller. Bro, the last game system I remember is the PSOne. Yes, I am old.

I had to sign a piece of paper to ensure I wouldn't do any AI work for Mark Trail.

Guys, have you met me? I make this strip with natural, human stupidity.

Please enjoy this scribble watercolor design I made of a ship with a video game controller steering wheel.
Uh did you read the tweet? It says watercolor steering wheel game controller design. I hate it when you make me repeat myself.

Whaaaaaaat
Screen shot text from Ny post article “Chunks of concrete will fall off, and windows will start loosening up,” structural engineer Steve Bongiorno told the New York Times. “You can’t take the elevators, mechanical systems start to fail, pipe joints start to break and you get water leaks all over the place. The building just becomes uninhabitable.” The issues trace back to construction. “

Panel of Jules and Blackbird. BB: More surf tips nobody asked for. J: have you ever done a burpee but thought "what if this was more tailored for surfing?" J: Probably not but shut up. I invented the Aqua Burpee.

I love to see my friends winning.

Let’s celebrate with this cheesy watercolor I did of a rubber tree plant.
It’s a cheesy watercolor of a rubber tree plant. It’s more stylized than technical. It’s messy. Like your mom.

So I had a wardrobe malfunction at the beach, so here’s a rare photo of me with a board and a bikini.
Jules taking a calm selfie at the beach. She’s in a pink bikini top and dark sunglasses. Shes holding up her surfboard.

This was literally me yesterday.

I saw a DHS video with a caption “America after we deport the alien criminals” and a bunch of stock footage from the 80’s. Like that’s the America they wanna go back to.

That video had surfing as if you can’t surf today.

You can. The waves are even bigger than the 80’s because of Climate Change.
Jules chilling by Tourmaline throwing up a peace sign. The sun is behind her because it’s golden hour. You can see Jules’ surfboard on the ground behind her. It’s a funboard, not that you asked.

This isn’t whitewashing or homophobia we swear (it is)
Sad Beige Mom photo of a rainbow toy that has been repainted to be dull and boring. Other toys nearby are also dull and ugly. We get it. You don’t want your kids to be gay. But this is sad.
