Sumi likes me. So far.
“I’m dyeing my paws” may sound crazy, but it’s true. #cosplay
Because nothing communicates “California” and “vegetables” like an English idiom and an old white guy in a top hat with a monocle. Marketing has always been stupid. From the antique mall in Oceanside yesterday.
I just feel like I can trust a store with a toy robot in the window. #longbeach #vintagebooks
Surly Penguin from way back in 2016. Invented by my pal Chris back in 2016. Finally colored in @Procreate.
Offworlders sometimes wear fur spacesuits. Ask Durand Durand. Colored with @procreate
My grandfather worked out of this post office as a Letter Carrier. Today I use it to send a package to my nephews. Joe Crawford you are missed!
I live in a place that’s a great subject for postcards. Yesterday at Balboa Park.
Staying away from the brush pen for once. @sketchpartysd #sketchpartysd #sandiego #sketchpartysandiego
Flowers!
Kelly looked amazing as Maleficent.
Wondercon is Magic.
I am loving @procreate — mindblasting M.O.D.O.K. here at #Wondercon—any excuse to practice drawing is great. #marchmodokmadness
I’m enjoying Wondercon so far! Not surprising. Mellow and positive!
Tick-Pool! Hello #WonderCon! SPOON! #cosplay
Attended a machine learning primer put on by San Diego Code Kitchen and the bots in the lobby are charming. @robolinkinc
Happy Birthday To Me. Prints of Jackie Brown (@theresgill) and Rose Quartz (@nikinapalm). Two wonderful interpretations of two incredible characters.
The drawings will continue until until morale improves. Rework of a 2017 drawing. I’m getting faster @procreate.
March Mingle was massive and impressive. #marchmingle #mmxv #sandiego #sandiegotech
My nephew drew me a robot for my birthday and he gave me permission to color it. SO I DID!
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.

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.
