#Inktober can stress you out in a world where most artists have dayjobs. But sometimes it’s as simple as drawing during a work meeting. Just a mess of sharpie on coffee-stained workpad. #inktober2019

Left On Read @verbatim.books / @burn_all_books was awesome and surreal. This was @crushedpeanut — live zine performance sounds like it doesn’t make sense but it’s perfect dream logic.

Angry ink for #Inktober #inktober2019
Expression time for #inktober2019 — happy to see how people interpret #INKTOBER. The thing should be fun not a soul-crushing grind. If it’s a grind put the darn pen down, rent Booksmart, get a treat, and chill. Malala.
New Bot Monday! This is Gir from Invader Zim. Acquired at SDCC but robot posting has been less a priority what with comics making and beach time and work and all.
Cutest possible post office.
As a matter of fact I do support @burn_all_books . Why do you ask? #risograph #risoprinting #sandiego #indiepublishing
Latest comic for @burn_all_books Sundays Quarterly is in the pipeline. Available in October.
I will miss looking at the Southern skyline from Court. Always so beautiful.
My jury duty service has been completed. 3 weeks. 13 full days. An extraordinary experience. I drew every witness and took extensive notes but i left those all behind and no photography was allowed. I feel I served diligently as juror and foreperson. At some point I’ll write about it or maybe zine about it. Not today. Today I rest.

Always enjoy setting for a spell and lighting a candle in cool serenity.
Maybe I should add Nutella to my shopping list too. But I won’t drop my list at the trolley.
Summary image of checkins on Foursquare/Swarm for 9 years is kind of interesting.

Sketch Party San Diego turned four years old. It was a packed session. It’s a beautiful event with amazing people. It’s an explosion of non-commercial community. Tonight I talked (uh… ranted) with my seatmate about drawing: drawing is communication. Drawing is for everyone. You may be ashamed of what you draw. The real shame is that our culture divides us into groups, one group is creative and is allowed to draw, the other is uncreative. No. Don’t believe that lie. Draw. Draw together. It’s beautiful. I❤️U @sketchpartysd!!! #sketchpartysd
Retrospect.

Sunset Sunday was fire
Sunset/Last Week:Portland
Empaneled. No questions at this time, please.
Recognizing street shapes I loved and learned and lived in the past while overflying Los Angeles last night PDX-SAN: staggering.
Okay #xoxofest I gotta catch a flight out to the coast. Sorry to miss karaoke. Hope someone does “Brass In Pocket” in my absence. Thank you for sharing.
I met him downtown yesterday but he was too heavy to steal. #xoxofest
Bus, on the. Portland.
Devotional candles for Our Lady of Subtext (that’s queer bi subtext), Kitty Pryde. Seen at Books with Pictures #xoxofest
I loved everything about Books with Pictures in Portland. Friendly, approachable, great selection, inclusive. Terrific store with happy patrons! I’m in town for #xoxofest and wish the store was in my town!
One way to end Friday at #xoxofest is with a ridiculous maple bacon doughnut. 🍁 🥓 🍩 @voodoodoughnut
Walking back to the hotel. Great day of #xoxofest
From the #indieweb meet this morning: Annika Backstrom’s Pi Zero with eInk screen tied into a mastodon server. Amazing! Great conversation. #xoxofest
Medium sponsored a #writing #zines #comics social which was filled with great creators. Sponsored drinks and great conversation. Terrific! #xoxofest
Drinking and drawing at #xoxofest at Nucleus Portland and look, here’s Cube Cat! This the #visual-art social!
Portland Oregon OLD TOWN #xoxofest #biketown
At the Metafilter meetup. I got leftover swag from the 20th Anniversary. I just declared “English is PHP” which pleased me greatly. #xoxofest #mefi
XOXO is classy. #xoxofest I’m in Portland. It’s hotter than I expected. Powell’s was rad. Things kick off tonight. I’m exploring.
I walked a mile to bodysurf “Uppers” at Trestles. I still want to check out the other spots there: Church, Middles, Lowers, Cottons. For as hard as it was to get there? Tons of people. But serene. I dug it.
TRUMP DON’T SURF (part 2)
“T” is for Trestles.
Summer’s aren’t Endless but…
Repaired a fox’s back this morning #sewing
“You made me swallow my gum!” [Throwback to 2017 when I cosplayed as Gideon Graves] While it’s fun to cosplay things everyone knows, surprising people holds special delight.
The Office.
More art framing! This was a test print through Burn All Books’ Riso printer for Sundays Quarterly 2019.1. It’s an inadvertent exquisite corpse as it includes test runs of layers by me, @unradmotions & @casual_vaper. Follow @burn_all_books for more awesome art. #risoprint #sandiego #zines

The carrots descending in the windy void were the most fun last night. I made 6 panels and put 1, then 2, then 4… last 32 marks in each panel. The orange marks turned into carrots. #spillsantaana #carrots

I love that @verbatim.books has a toy robot corner.

My father told me when I was in my teens: “you take in a lot of media, son, you should try to put some out there” and I think about that every day. Contributing to the latest @burn_all_books Sundays Quarterly was been an honor. This is my proud of my work face. More is coming.
Pop.
Kelly & me.
My nephews have arrived in California and are suitably goofy.
Post County Courthouse divorce paperwork trolley ride.
Got a favorite poster framed: Mage: The Hero Discovered.
This is my mom, Phyllis, symbolically fighting cancer. She’s gone 9 years in October. She fought so hard. I’m cultivating this energy for myself—sure life is unfair—but be of good cheer, surround yourself with love, and fight for what’s right!
My pal for three decades @missewon being professional filling in at the downtown library last week. I feel proud of her and am proud to have earned her trust and friendship.
My aunts Jeannine and Joan today. I come by ocean-love from family.
Having a space to incrementally work on arts and crafts is a wonderful privilege.
More miscellany from San Diego Comic Con 2019!

We missed the trolley.
Final shot in the exhibit hall from San Diego Comic-Con 2019. Yes, a robot selfie. What a swell time.
This Mazinger Z was for sale at Comic-Con this past weekend and be proud of me I didn’t even ask the price.
New pens. New drawing. #sdcc #sdcc2019 #byebye
#Cosplay is magic. Vasquez!; fun-loving Galactus, Devourer of Worlds; Jennifer Walters: She-Hulk; Parker from Alien; Queen of the Iron Throne; Rainbow Batman; DC Bombshells’ Wonder Woman; Steranko! (dapper men cosplay themselves) #sdcc #sdcc2019
Drawing Batman in the Batman panel is my jam. #sdcc #drawing #batman
Michael Uslan is passionate about comics here on the 30th Anniversary on the first good Batman movie. #sdcc #batman
I was struck dumb by the fit, form, artistry and crafting precision of @jmebressler’s Spider-Ham puppet. Brilliant inspiring work. #sdcc
Cosplay and cats go together at @thecatcafesandiego #sdcc!
That feel when your friend keeps not being in the same place at the same time and she comes to the presentation your’re in! #sdcc #cosplay #trelawney #madeyemoody #friends
Amazing morning of Harry Potter group cosplay through the Gaslamp all the way to Con! So much talent! So tired I wouldn’t mind being put in a trunk! #sdcc #harrypotter #madeyemoody #cosplay #sdcc2019

Ministry Malcontent. End of story. Friday’s cosplay. #madeyemoody #madeyecosplay #cosplay #harrypotter #alastormoody
I’m pretty sure this is my second medical robot, the first was Baymax. 2-1B first appeared in the Star Wars universe in The Empire Strikes Back in 1980, caring for Luke post-wampa attack and then post-Darth Vader duel. Welcome! #NewBotDay
I was given this keychain made of heavy brass in 1987 for painting backdrops with @chrisgreazel for a Uní High fashion show. I remember Madrid and Barcelona I think? Chris would remember better. This weekend I’m crafting or trying to craft cosplay pieces and as usual making things comes with a lot of feelings of success and failure simultaneously. But it’s also fun to see the odd resources I have and memories to draw on that I have had success.
