I'll be leaning into a weekly newsletter as social media is less effective delivering info to the the people who want it.
I just sent out one today. I won't be abusing anyone's inbox - just one email a week. If you want to know about projects, art sales, and cool stuff

I just apologize and delete when it happens. It's the intentionally sharing that moves me to block people
rpace.bsky.social
Just don't share A.I. slop of any sort. I've seen a wave of Sora shit on various social media platforms.
A.I. is destructive on too many levels to ever encourage anyone to use it, and sharing or liking is encouragement.
Complicity in the destruction of our planet and humanity.

I just had to do another broomstick ride after yesterday's piece. The three Ravens are just along for the pure joy of it.

It's weird how glimmers of hope are coming from the mortality of evil men. Kirk was assassinated by another white supremacist, dictator Trump has reportedly got 6-9 months left, and benzo-addicted sham male guru Jordan Peterson is in an ICU.
Just have to outlive the current batch of wannabe Nazis

For all the witches I've drawn, far too few of them have been flying on their broomsticks. I'll start addressing that this month, though all of the familiars may not be happy about that. 😄

Aiming for that lazy Monday morning feel in the drawing while juggling way too much work in my day.

It's early October, so the leaves are turning and falling, pumpkins are ready to harvest, and crows are spreading the good gossip.

Every fall, a few pine beetles find their way into my apartment. Sometimes I find out when they buzz me at my drawing table, sometimes when I accidentally squash em and the room suddenly smells like floor cleaner

The stronger surfaces mean less bleed- which would also apply to smoother surfaces. The rough surfaces allow me some of my favourite applications of media. Laying broken lines with my pens, or various drybrush effects. The rough surface is hard on brushes, so I opt for cheaper synthetics

I can compare if you like. I've used Canson smooth and vellum. Surface dry times are the biggest difference between those two for me, the latter being faster.
Strath 400 (as well as 500)and Fab are toothier and harder surfaces. Cheaper vellum bristol is soft. At a guess, that's the sizing

Still trying out the Fabriano bristol. It's good, but my favourite Strathmore 400 vellum is back on deck for tomorrow.

This is one of the sad, but good things about social media in finding out who is terrible and to avoid.

Comparing two wildly different TV shows

Simon and Marcilene are essentially the Adventure Time version of Keol and Ellie from The Last of Us

The reason the US grows so much soy is re-enriches the soil after it's depleted by corn and cotton crops and prevents another dust bowl event. Synthetic fertilizers aren't enough
Trump killing the entire soy export has done permanent damage to the US agri-economy.
These are the dumbest fascists.

I've been using Fabriano 1264 vellum bristol. An interesting surface and a little outside my usual Strathmore 400 vellum bristol, but preferable to the smooth bristol I have in studio right now.

I'm 100% in support of the dedication to your topic.

A whole Parker movie played for laughs wasn't what I was hoping for.

One of the few good bits

About 40 minutes into PLAY DIRTY.
It's got some good Shane Black bits, but Wahlberg doesn't read as Parker. Smart and menacing is too far outside his wheelhouse, and grumpy doesn't cut it.
There's some bad CGI early in, too.
If it were better I wouldn't be typing a mid-story review
