Dolphins out always feels like an auspicious omen for the session. Plus June Gloom-style weather. August.

Left my place with @gwenthegoblin and spending a little time at the Jetty. Kelly gets back tonight by plane and we will be there. These folks hooting and hollering are very suspicious to THIS corgi.
Latest family scanning batch being readied to take flight.

This illustration by Shaun Kerri was reportedly published in CARtoons Magazine. When? Based on the Locals Only t-shirt, boom box, sunglasses and painter’s cap: early 1980s. That beach wall could only be Mission or Pacific Beach. Shaun Kerri was an incredible draughtsperson and cartoonist. Details on her retreat from art are spotty and mostly speculative. None of my business. This cartoon looks like the PB and MB of my teenage years. It’s unlike any drawing I would ever share: lascivious and debauched, yet brilliant. I’ve colored the image in Procreate as an exercise. I look forward to a day when I’ll be able to purchase a collection of reprints of Shaun Kerri’s work. What an artist!#ShaunKerri

Left the screaming busy early afternoon shore break. Walking the six blocks to my car. I’m on the left side of the road; I notice a red Mini on the right side, tracking me. “I’m stalking you” exclaims the driver, a woman. “Okay” I reply, pointing an arc representing much further up the street. Another block. Then another. “Next block, left side of the street” I motion. “Maybe I’ll go up there” she says. “White Pilot” I reply. The Mini drives to my car and makes a u-turn. I unlock the car by remote. “No rush” says the red Mini, two older ladies I see now. Summer hats on. Older than me and I’m not young anymore. I stow my gear in the back. “No hurry” says Mini. “Change your clothes if you want”—then—“don’t get naked” the ladies cackle/giggle. I double take back the car, my hoodie on now. “I might be getting ogled” I say—then more giggling from the Mini. I close the Pilot’s hatch. I get in my car and drive off, a little wave out my window. I can feel the summer ending. A last blast of enthusiastic summer energy out at the beaches. The giddy death throes of Summer vacation for everyone.

I took it easy this week. Back to it hard today. A new prescription pill added to my morning routine added this week. So far so good. Age!

@trixxieland is a whirling dervish of curation! This was her last week assembling the Anthropomorphic Art Show of which I’m a part this month (“Cube Cat’s Drink”, a Riso print printed by @burn_all_books. The show opened tonight at @mikehessbrewing in North Park. Super fun. Follow Trixie’s account @arthang1 for cool San Diego art doings!
Who did you see riding waves without a surfboard north of Scripps Pier? Me or a sea lion.

Not every day two dolphins sprint in front of me. I think they were taking advantage of a rip current/eddy that might’ve had some good eats drawn into it. This was tonight at La Jolla Shores.

One of my favorite things to do with downtime anywhere, let alone at San Diego Comic-Con, is an exquisite corpse. Each creator takes a turn making marks—as little or as much as they like—on the page. This one was done waiting for the SDCC Masquerade to start. Credit: me, @hellokellykuhl, @missewon & @cup_o_teag.

During tonight’s session I got to watch my nephew and brother-in-law get a bit of stoke
