Well, I can't say that October went well for me. I retreated to familiar ground and regrouped a bit, but also I have to admit it shook me loose a bit, there was catharsis as well. I'm going to draw more. I'm going to write more. I'm going to hang out with friends more. Life is for the living, and I need to live it while I still have a liver.
Did you remember? Did you remember the 21st night of September? Did you remember to wake up when September ended? September is a month for remembering many things.
One year ago, Cohost shut down. In the wake of this highly unsurprising development I was compelled to bring back The Encyclopedia of Pointless. This year, I was yeeted off Tumblr merely for posting hundreds of lewd anime images. Well, joke's on them, now I have my own website for posting lewd anime images. I shan't share it here, but ask and you shall receive.
Speaking of asking and receiving, I asked myself if I was up to drawing anything in the month of September and I received the following images from myself. It's not much, but any art is better than no art in these dark days.
August happened recently, or so I am led to believe. Weird how time seems to progress in a linear fashion even when all this other stuff is also happening.
Art also happens despite everything else going on, and that art, such as it is, has been collected here. You may notice Lyn among the artworks on display within, she is a character owned by the lovely Alex who can be found Here, Here, and presumably, Colorado. Check them out, they're really nice!
July is traditionally the month when one deals with an overwhelming feeling of self-loathing, right? It is hot an miserable and everything about having a human body and existing in the material world is a terrible curse? Well anyway over on Bluesky and Mastodon (the only two social networks worth a damn) I have been engaging in a Summer of Art where I try to make people look at various drawings I've made over the last few years. I've made a lot of art. Even the archive on this site only goes back to January 2022.
Speaking of archiving my art on this site, I've done so for the last month as well. It was pretty light, art-wise! I did finish two more comic pages which as of this writing have not been uploaded. I should probably do that as well. They deserve to be posted.
You may have noticed, though statistically speaking you have not, that the comic is rather behind the update-every-friday schedule. Now I know it's traditional for webcomics to have a post that says "I'm working to catch up!" with no further updates at that point but I actually am trying to catch up and since the actual workload involved in drawing these comics isn't insurmountable it's fully conceivable that I can catch up and continue posting them on schedule.
This has been a bit of a better month for me, art-wise, I feel like I'm climbing out of the inexplicable spring doldrums and ready to produce more of the art I crave.
Well friends, we've reached the end of another month, which in turn heralds the start of another. I dunno about you, but I have been feeling the psychic pressure of all this to a greater extent than usual. My pep has popped, my verve has swerved, I couldn't even really enjoy this year's Mad Ape Den. There may be some delays as my capacity falls behind my commitment.
In the meantime, please enjoy the attached atworks that I have helpfully drawn over the course of this month.
