Ack. Watching how I can ramble. Misspeak. Forget names. Terminologies. 😵💫 Thanks to Nic for being a great host. 😊
I am north of 55 now. Grateful for the experiences and the opportunity to share the lived experience of that truly unique time.

Went in a road trip and was away from home for 30 days. Now my mailbox is…overflowing. If you sent me mail, very sorry, maybe I might see it next month. 😵💫

I made this on iMovie a while ago, rediscovered it this week and finally made a thumbnail to put it up on my YT. 😅 If you got 30 seconds…? Take a look? Thank you very much!

How’s this for #ThrowbackThursday …I did this ad illustration ca 1995 using Adobe88 on a MacCentris, back when making gradients meant layering shapes of varying shades of black. The page weighed in at roughly 900KB, or at most 1.2MB. The whole comicbook was done this way. 😄

Spring cleaning usually unearth some neat stuff. Today was no different. Anybody still remember this ARG?

At times, walking in virtual worlds is a calm escape. But doing it in a post-apocalyptic West Virginia…? I was bound to encounter allegorical moments. 😅

WWII tanks or futuristic walking tanks. All the same to my favorite spaceship guru. 😁 Will be sharing this with the kids. They love Hannaford’s work in Halo and Destiny, they’ll be chuffed to see him tackle WoT vehicles. 😊

From getting in line for store service or at the lemonade stand, or using photo mode … What’s a little RP among friends and family? 😅 Fun! That’s what.

I wish I had done this earlier than I did. It was to help out a friend’s racing program, and also to lift his spirits. He has since retired from racing, but I hope this serves as a fun memento of his career.

I dislike the sudden hesitation—an overwhelming fear, really—to keep going for “fear of messing up” (I am merely scribing the lines “already there” in the scene I’ve visualized!) Using my kids’ markers is supposed to invoke “sketching” but my lines are too deliberate?? Arrgh!

I suppose…social isn’t complete without food pics? The fanciest thing about this home cooked Chicken Tinola and Lumpia Shanghai are the two lumps of rice I scooped with an ice cream scooper to the delight of my family. 😆

Oh man! 😄 Moving this to where I can see it better is a nice unexpected bite of happy when I don’t expect it. I might have to move it every six months. So I don’t get used to it. 😆

What I discovered about me during this period of burnout was…drawing something to help someone I know was easier than drawing for myself.
In a fit of “I wanna cheer someone up” I did these analog sketches for my ESO guildies:

The Iron Giant movie was definitely one of a kind. I loved that character and the robots in Miyazaki’s Laputa: Castle in the Sky. I channeled those feelings and out came my “Robot and…” sketch series. Gotta do more of these!

I can’t find my Copic markers after we started moving stuff back in the house. Any moment spent doodling is good tho, even if it isn’t what I set out to do. No matter how goofy. 😄 Here are some robots.

In 1989, my younger brother and I didn’t have enough money between us to buy the poster of our favorite album from ‘87. So we used school supplies to make our own. I rescued it from my brother’s discard pile many years ago and had it professionally framed. Not bad for a couple o teenagers!
