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.

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
Designer Con has been fun. Inspiring! #designerCon
Swami’s is always on point. Here with Kelly @hellokellykuhl on the way to Designer Con.
We did not win at Space Trivia tonight.
My fridge magnets are pretty great.
This should be fun. Big fun crowd for @jscalzi & Cixin Liu
It’s a good feeling when a friend gives you 3 robots in one day. Look at these little ones! Thanks Chris!
The other night I got to see @proopdog laying it down for the Greg Proops Film Club.
Even a non-painter, when faced with a canvas to recycle, two acrylic paints and a little time—must paint.
Miniaturized Mom’s ofrenda. She’d’ve liked it.
Classic film viewing in a classic venue: The Third Man at @sidgrauman The Egyptian in Hollywood with @proopdog Greg Proops. I can smell the popcorn already.
TRUMP DON’T SURF • DON’T LITTER
Kelly in the pool in autumn.
I met this Garibaldi in Baltimore in January. I felt like I understood them because I’ve been an expatriate, too.
We get extraordinary sunsets sometimes. The left and right were taken just a minute or so apart Thursday night.
I didn’t stay long but I was very happy to be at Red Wing for Joelle’s birthday. She’s always full of fierce truth and I found out Friday she has a heckuva set of pipes. Happy Birthday @tenthmuse!
From January. I could watch my Dad with his grandsons all day long.
First ofrenda ever is for mom. It is the Day of the Dead. We remember those who have moved on and take joy that death is just another part of life.
My teammates for Harry Potter Trivia are amazing. #kyloron
Walter & Scarecrow! Happy Halloween!!!
Hello friend. “I’M SHOMER SHABBOS!” #happyhalloween #waltersobchak
Parts.
Yesterday was full of art and friends. A whirlwind. A most excellent day.
Day of the Dead
I found the “ARTLUNG” stamp which I was sure had been lost forever! Who is up for a postcard or pen pal?
Emptied out Storage last weekend. It was an accomplishment! Much help from @leahblooms in the weeks prior.
“Joseph Arther (sic) Crawford”: Batman Shrinky Dinks® from about 1975 before I could spell my middle name.
Brutal Fall day.
Me & Kel
Scenes from 1994: spirometry at Los Alamitos Medical Center, The Tick, Quiz Show, Shawshank Redemption, Universal CityWalk, Comic Gallery on Balboa Ave.
Chinchillas at closing time, yesterday.
SAT JUN 19, 1993: I remember the glee with which Sharon & Chris revealed the event they were taking me to was a Barry Manilow concert. I was a music snob and she forced me to admit he was a helluva performer. We miss you Sharon!
I’m kind of a sticker collector now but I have more stickers than surfaces to put them on.
