Mad-Eye giving blood last weekend. @sandiegobloodbank #sdcc2019 #madeyemoody
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
Madeye caught a dark witch—that’s what aurors do. #sdcc #maleficent #cosplay #madeye #potterverse

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.
Floating world of the Japanese Friendship Garden
Beach selfie resurgence. Saw a camera-shy seal and divebombing pelicans.
On the carousel, from the weekend.
“The Fastest Way To Get An Incredible Bikini Body”
Laura & Kelly at the Botanical Garden!

The early bird gets the BLT Bloody Mary.
Respect the ocean and its inhabitants
Always a delight to walk through the Hotel Del.
When Sundays Quarterly: Gemini comes out from @burn_all_books you oughta get one. Everyone’s pieces I’ve seen pieces of on Instagram have made me happy.
As You Like It.
Spalding Gray taught me so much. Glad to have a copy of this on DVD. The bootleg I had on VHS taped from A&E in 89 lasted a long time. Then the copy I torrented in 2005 worked for a long time. Now I’m legit. Spalding you are very missed.
Sorry about the gum. The Pantages is amazing and Phantom of the Opera was epic and we had a great time!
“LOWES ANGLE-EASE”
Initial test prints for my latest page for @burn_all_books’ Sundays Quarterly. Nick took good care of me and it turned out well. And the new @verbatim.books space—I got a preview—it’s awesome.
Silva weddings always. (These feet are Jim’s and Mary Lou’s)
What a lovely and happy occasion—Angelina & Bro we love you!
Mr & Mrs Silva!!!

For #sketchpartysd tonight I wanted to honor San Diego’s Bean Bandits, my late, great Uncle Joaquin was in ‘em! #beanbandits #hotrod #drawing #penandink
I don’t understand what the deal with the tiny sombrero is in this photo of me and my Mom.

Very happy with my evolving art wall. Art by @nikinapalm @whitaker.becca @poachedmegg @theresgill @mattqspangler @crushedpeanut @dizzylittledotty @genevieveft @nicterhorst — and that’s just one wall. The latest one arrived today from @radixrisingcreative
Inspiring talk this morning by @rizzhel.javier this morning at @creativemornings_sd — my #sketchnotes on her passionate exhortation to “tell your story” and how she inspires others as an educator and an artist in #sandiego—her projects include @bridge_org @peopleandplacesproject @theajaproject @littlesaigonstories @reelvoices — so much excellent stuff I vibe with—multiple identities, being a military brat, having your dad be gone a lot, feeling connected to artifacts and photos and letters. I’m so glad I attended this morning. #representation #pinoy #tellyourstory
CAUTION head walking. Thank you for your cooperation.
Fort Rosecrans looks down upon North Island, Coronado, and San Diego’s downtown.
Sunset Cliffs with Kelly today.
Experimenting with coloring my Machinder Gato Gigantica! Hooray @Procreate
Verbatim Books I love.
Good job, AmVets team 🇺🇸
If I can drive 80 miles and then draw I will do it. #spillsantaana (from Thursday)

Jacaranda time. Downtown.
Tired but happy last week. After drawing.
My pal Chris drawing. At the ink and drink last week.
Non filter Windansea. Near the end of Playa Del Sur Street. Dusk.
I printed my own Captain Padres shield for my cosplay the other day. Self serve large format printing! Sorcery! Vector graphic in a PDF set to 36 inches wide, so easy. Thanks @fedex Office. #cosplay #crafts #crafting
Midnight Wednesday in Long Beach
So this happened! Padres Avengers Assemble! #friarfaithful #cosplay #sandiego #sandiegopadres
Chris and me, at the end of the amazing Ink and Drink Long Beach @ink_and_drink_lb
#cubecat goes to #longbeach — #inkanddrinklb
Whoa so much fun at @ink_and_drink_lb with first timer @chrisgreazel — and free stickers from @fiiidgt and @unjadedsunflower — and #cubecat makes a surly appearance. #inkanddrink #longbeach #inkanddrinklb #drawing
Sometimes I walk out of Sketch Party happy. @sketchpartysd #sketchpartysd #sandiego #drinkanddraw

Remembering my mother on her birthday. That’s her right there! Spirited and positive and a bit of a ham.
On the way to a fire…
I like that I can see the @Amtrak Pacific Surfliner heading south from my new job’s parking lot.
Observed moment near the Vietnam Memorial. Capped and sketched en route home. A volunteer helps some gentlemen look up a friend by name. A scene that happens all day long there. Finished on my flight home to San Diego. #vietnammemorial #washingtondc #procreate
I’m in here now. I suppose my style is eclectic. #FaceYourArt
Fletcher & PopPop & Space Shuttle Discovery OV-103.
Uncle/Nephew silliness outside the Metro station.
PULSE exhibit is really cool. Sensors read the pulse of visitors and then visualize them in different ways. My sister’s pulse triggers an actuator in the water triggering waves lit and projected onto the wall.
“On your left!” —Cap
I guard the window. -Neko
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.
