My nephew drew me a robot for my birthday and he gave me permission to color it. SO I DID!
Birthday Cake Head! #marchofrobots
Waiting room time to get my migraine assessed means I have time to work on old drawings. @procreate is magic. #startrek #startrektos #drawing
Dog beach then.
Workplace post haircut self.
PACKED LIKE A HOUSE PARTY
Digitized my @ux_speakeasy AI future skills worksheet using @Procreate. I can see blue areas where I can grow in UX skill, the yellow where I may be overqualified, and the green I’m prepared for. Great little seminar. #ux #SanDiego
Coloring practice with @procreate. Collaboration with myself. 32 years ago me. #drawing #superhero
Ada & Nikola & Carl & Abe
Onward. #marchofrobots
So I filed for divorce. #divorceSelfie #awkwardFamilyPhotos
Drawing and writing and ideating with @missewon
Morning @procreate doodle.
An inspiring morning at the downtown @sdpubliclibrary with @creativemornings_sd — speaker Jay Buys of @thisisvisceral talking about balancing profit and purpose. #cmsandiego #CreativeMornings #SanDiego #sketchnotes
Detail of my piece in the @burn_all_books Sundays Quarterly zine I participated in this weekend. #risograph #risoprinting — I had a blast! I put a making of video on YouTube too.
More mature folks do Valentine’s on their own time. @hellokellykuhl planned a wonderful evening that was a pure delight. From the Gaslamp to a very special Bar, it was great.
Car in the shop, but also rainbow!
For Valentine’s here’s my Crawford grandparents at my sister’s wedding. There’s the love. May we all find happiness under the sky. Joe & Jean you are missed.
A throwback of my Auntie Bebe. Early 1990s. 💚💚💚
Chris @chrisgreazel and I sat drawing on our iPads and are both posting our #wip work. Mine is in @procreate #spacegirl #drawing
We found robots! (Working and industrial) #ubm
Dogs of Kelly @hellokellykuhl
Odd teen & drawing. 1980s.
A mess of drawing by @ARTLUNG #sketchpartysd “Quack” & “BEEP”
Doofus on the train. Last century. Headed to Fullerton to see @chrisgreazel
The day was pretty and I am lucky.
This is not me stoned or high. This is me tired and sunburnt. A long time ago.
Me and Erin from way back when!
My first passport photo. My mom’s and sister’s too.
Artie & Phyllis Silva. My Nanie & Tata. Very much missed by me and many others.
Sunset in Fullerton yesterday with @chrisgreazel
To the gentleman boiling water for tea at the rest stop? Well played.
Ramen Ryoma Robot Samurai, yesterday!
Doublas M2 is an enemy to Mazinger Z and originates in the early 1970s! Picked up this little guy at @super7sandiego the other day! Hooray new bot day!
Costume creation from a long time ago! #cosplay #startrek
Week before last: Cross Street has turned a nothing space into something special. Their chicken is amazing.
Maybe someone hates dealing with printers as much as me.
Beach shadows in winter night with @hellokellykuhl
@hellokellykuhl has good hats.
I am here because Dumbledore asked me. End of story. Goodbye! The end!
New Bot Day! SP//dr is a robot/mecha piloted by Peni Parker which HAVE YOU SEEN SPIDER-MAN: Into The Spider-verse yet because you SHOULD.
Decoration.
Archer in the pool last week. Cool goggles!
When New Orleans was the Capital of the Spanish Province of Luisiana 1762-1803 This street bore the name “Calle de Borbon.” (New Orleans being simultaneously Spanish, French, Caribbean, American also makes it feel like home).
Super Optimus Prime! A gift from @hellokellykuhl on her trip to the Night Market in Indio. Yes, I am lucky!
Fletcher, last week. In sound removing earmuffs.
I remember crossing the Mississippi on one of these bridges — when it was two-way. They built a second span in the late 80s. It feels strange to be a driver on the bridge. I was only ever a passenger in a giant ~’73 Chevy Caprice. Pretty sure my parents bought that car from my Great Uncle Ray. Long time has passed but, partly, New Orleans still feels a little like home.
My Virginia Crew. Gotta make sure I see them in 2019.
Me and my nephews. Fletcher smiling is a rarity as he’s camera shy. Had a great week even though I caught a cold.
Me and Dad
Recording and photography is not allowed inside Preservation Hall. No rules against drawing though. Sublime and intense and wonderful musical experience.
Line for Preservation Hall is a perfect representation of the Sunk Cost fallacy. I was hoping for the 5pm show. Then the 6. Now waiting for the 8. But jazz, and famous. And beautiful.
Holidays in the Quarter. Hundreds of years of tipsy partying in a row. It’s something else.
The door on the left was a 7-11 forty years ago. I played Centipede, Asteroids, Galaxian & Battlezone for the first time in that room.
ECCE PANIS ANGELORUM
Life on the Mississippi
I could draw with kids all day.
⚜️ @justchillinsweettreats
I was very happy to see Gigantor yesterday when I went to Baton Rouge and my bag went to New Orleans!
Archer and me. Travel mishaps entirely worth it.
My rides here. Layover in Houston 18 hours 49 minutes. Baton Rouge next.
When life gives you unwanted 5 additional hours at Houston airport, make a SuperGato! #procreateapp
Koi from Karl Strauss, brunch last weekend.
Rufus @ Christmas with Family
Ho Ho Ho! Look out it’s Robot Santa—who hails from the tv show Futurama and first appeared in 1999. He weighs four tons, and his standards for who is naughty or nice are too harsh. Robot Santa mostly decides you’re naughty and need to be blasted by his terrifying arsenal.
Secret Santa at work got me @posca_usa markers and I could not be more delighted!
My top 9 is quirky. I’m happy to see @hellokellykuhl featured so prominently ❤️ #topnine #topnine2018
The art on my walls is amazing and gives me joy.
Leah @leahblooms ‘s artwork on these blank cards is beautiful. Considering putting these on Etsy! But really I should offer them to her first (Yes, a storage find)
Be nice! …please #sketchpartysd
Christmas is hard on everyone. #sketchpartysd
I wish I’d met you. You died on New Year’s Eve in 1968. You were born in 1882! What things you saw! What change! Ellis Island! An immigrant who gave your daughter and her children better lives. Without you I would not exist.
Bulb! Party day 2. 🎄
Bye. (I think an American Goldfinch).
Wish you were here (yesterday, elsewhere)
Christmas party.
What kind of trap is this? It was washed up at Mission Beach. The red things are actual bricks. And in the middle were two bleached out pieces meat. It was washed up and had rope attached. So—what kind of trap is this?
Less flat-toppy.
It rained last week. So weird. Scripps Northridge Technology Plaza.
Sunset out the work window the other day was amazing.
So proud this was selected to be among the hundreds of wonderful pieces at Sketch Party San Diego. I like it and #sketchpartysd
I also worked on a small F-15 yesterday. Whoosh! (And hooray lost storage items)
So honored to have two pieces among such amazing artists’ works! Thank you @labodegagallery @sketchpartysd 3rd Annual Art Show is amazing! Lots of art cheep! #sketchpartysd
First thing made by me on my cheap new drafting table. Early Merry Christmas, y’all.
I acquired a drawing table from Craigslist for cheap and it makes me very happy!
Kelly and Gwen in action, FlyBall!
Materials for custom leads, collars, tugs, etc. San Diego FlyBall.
I did not purchase this and that’s for the best but it’s got personality.
Used my umbrella. Rare here in San Diego.
I am not a Gundam or Transformer… I AM VOLTES V! #sketchpartysd #voltesv #sandiego
X marks the Thanksgiving prep (from last week)
Christmas tree building. Last night.
San Diego is great because a simple movie date can turn magical!
Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary. (It’s restorative, I hear).
Budget conscious haul from Designer Con: sticker by @jesssdraws and book by @davepressler and @mondonews Iron Giant limited edition Machinder version. And a bonus lil’ robot! #designercon
“SHUT UP AND DRAW!” —a message from @davepressler I can get behind. #designercon #robotselfie
