Kind of a long post today, and maybe a bit meandering. It is my take on the Afghanistan situation, told from a person who, admittedly, didn't deploy there and is not an expert on the region in any way socio-political or anthropological. But after every action in the Army, there is an "After-Action Review", where we try to fig...

I was thinking about how --in the comic-- we've lost a few soldiers after coming back. Brian Patterson got out with pretty serious PTSD; Philip Albright was killed in Iraq. Cecelia Glass was badly wounded, and with a leg and an eye missing, was med-boarded out. Carlos Alvarez has stuck around but that's not much of a squad. 2021-10-28 16:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post

Whenever we go "downrange" (out to the field for exercises) there are porta-potties provided for us. In the old days, soldiers were just expected to go out and dig a hole, do their business, cover the hole, and then get back to training. But over time, and with maneuver areas being used over and over again, poop would accumul...

Here's an update and a look back on an earlier project I had --at the time-- started but not finished. Now it is finished and I have started posting images of the final product.
The character is Queen Marika Soong, and she is featured in a Star Wars fan-fiction project I have been a part of since 2004. The story i...

Got a bunch of things coming up! Above: the one you saw being done on video is technically finished, but because it is a one-panel comic I can't show too much without giving it away (I have probably already shown too much). The finished comic will be poste din a couple days!

More zaniness, much of which was doodled while I was downrange at Annual Training.
Kind of a blend of Cold War Russian tanks; a bit of this & that.
I had to think about tanks and such a lot while downrange.
I am doing some character art for a friend and supporter who liked my stuff from Way Back When; back when I was doing furry stuff. He really liked the old "Empires: The Ace of Spades" story and thought up a character set in that universe so I am working on "LT. Rhein", a commander on a T-89 mobile assault gun. The T-89 is a d...
