I love walking, but the darker colder season combined with some muscle problems to make it harder for me to get out every day. I've been working on healing up the muscle damage, and I'm trying to get back to my regular walks. I picked up the most astonishingly acid-green shawl/scarf thing to throw over my coat when I go out a...

Edit: Here it is!

Not much to say tonight because I just want to get this posted and hurry back to the other work I'm handling tonight (and I haven't been doing much so there isn't much to say.) I hope the year is going well so far for all of you!
Thank you, and I'll be back soon with colors!
Well, here we are in the New Year, and I hope it's a good one for everyone! I'm very tired after all the holiday work, and when I've posted the page I'm going to take a much-needed nap. Or watch Reanimator. I haven't decided which.
Last night we played Wingspan with our friends, a board game about birds. As with everyth...

I had the pleasure of having my Mom over to watch the last Downton Abbey movie, which I believe came out not too long ago. She had watched the whole series and kind of knew that another thing was coming out, but didn't know when or how to watch it. It was fun to see the last hurrah of the show, and I got to make my Mom happy....

Oh my, all the rain we didn't get last Summer is coming down at once. It's spectacular.
I took a much-needed walk with one of the kids today, the rain was fairly mild when we left but part way through it picked up again and we got a bit of a soak.
We stopped at the local bakery and picked up some fatti...

Hey everybody! I'm not sure if we'll have colors on time because we are not going to insist Cheyenne pick up our slack when he should be relaxing with his wife and child. (Edit: he did it last night anyway, he says he doesn't want to have to catch up later. At least he didn't have to do it actually ON Christmas. ...

The snow was lovely, but now it has settled into an alarming ice sheet. Combined with our lovely hills and indifferent road preparation (why clear and sand/salt when those things are so bad for our water and the snow will be gone soon anyway?) we just aren't going anywhere.
I watched The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, ...

Christmas is almost here, and once again I need to muck out the back room so my Mom has somewhere to sleep when she comes over. Since the rest of the year it's the room where we shove everything that doesn't have a place, things get wild.
It's still snowing in Seattle, and ordinarily I love it but I'm a little worried a...

I love walking in the snow, and I had a fine opportunity to do it yesterday when the sky dropped huge flakes just long enough for me to take a walk down the street to get the mail. With everyones decorations out, it was a lovely walk.
I saw in the comments a request for a slightly larger image to make things easier to r...

I know we're horsing around with Hector here a lot, it's because we're having fun. I think he wound up looking like Agatha put herself through some kind of specialized lab equipment, and yet he's such a dope. This was not on purpose but I love it.

We decorated our tree! Every year when we open our boxes of ornaments we're faced with the fact that after over 30 years together, we have amassed a ridiculous number of tiny festive dinosaurs and airships.
There are also robots, adorable woodland animals, probably Sir Isaac Newton, and a saucy witch, but by far the lar...

Okay--
I agree about the punctuation on the previous page, so thank you!
In other adventures in the digital arts, I've been happily using the type 1 font Comicrazy from Comicraft for the last 20 odd years. I love the fonts from Comicraft. But now, Adobe Illustrator has stopped supporting type 1 fonts. SO! I ...

I'm getting ready to send some Christmas presents to the family in New York, so I've got paper all over the dining room. I've left it a bit late again.

Ha! I still need to come up with a name for this thing. To be honest I haven't given it a thought at all. I should do that. (No suggestions yet please, let us take a whack at it first.

Hey! I finished lettering Friday's page early! So here it is, and I'll get those colors up when they come in.
I probably should have explained in my last post that the reason I was only able to now create a purple dragon named Growf in World of Warcraft is that they've just released the new expansion and the dragon guys...

IT SNOWED TODAAAAAAY! Okay, just a little, and then the rain made it all go away, but it was still neat.
My Mom gave me a trailcam a while back, and I put it out facing a pumpkin we had sitting out in the front garden. I now have SO MUCH footage of squirrels going in and out of a hole they chewed in the pumpkin. I also ...

Well! Thanksgiving happened, and so did the traditional wind storm and power outage, although it was a day late and quickly solved. There's a biggish branch down on the sidewalk a couple of blocks away that I'm tempted to go steal for art reasons, but I don't know if I'll really get around to it.

So I guess Twitter is imploding, I hear jokes about it filtered through my kids via Tumblr. The truth is that I don't spend much time on the social media, except to let people know when a new page is up. I use Hootsuite for that a lot, which takes me yet another step away.
I think I might like it like that.

Things are heating up around here, I'm getting ready to start shipping things for the last Kickstarter campaign. I'm still waiting for an Envelope of Madness component but I have plenty of things I can ship before I need those. Fun!
We have a neighborhood nearby that is apparently known all over the city for handing out exceptional Halloween loot. I never took my kids there for reasons (see footnote), so this is the first year I went for a walk in what turned out to be a small but energetic festival crowd. It was people-watching gold, and I want to put t...

Heyo! Here in the US (and in several other places too) it's Halloween, and we have a special silly drawing to prove it! For you here on Patreon, we also have these wallpapers for you to download:
