The first comic strip I’ve drawn, colored and inked in decades. It’s multi-purpose drawing paper, using watercolor pencils and pen & ink.

Yeah, I’m still painting, but lately I feel as though I’m forcing myself. That is not an ideal state of mind to create anything. SIGH.
Annnywho, here’s pix of my east-facing living room wall, and my 90 percent completed coat-of-arms:
The only thing on the wall that I didn’t paint is the “Visitors Must Be Approved By The Cat”. And the floral piece that’s below the eye crying heart-tears was from the lid a greeting card box from the 1960s; I merely embellished it.
“Derelinquas Nos Be” is the motto; it means, “Leave Us Be”. I was born in a Wood Dragon year (and 2024 happens to be one of those years so yippee?), so I painted an odd-looking dragon to appear as it was made of wood. My spirit animal is the North American river otter, so that’s why that’s there…and why am I telling this like anyone cares?

I’m working on a model of a barbecue restaurant typical of the kitschy type that might have been found on Route 66 in the 1940s. Here is a real example (that’s pretty darn awful):
So I downloaded an STL file of a smiling pig. I modified it, e.g. to hold the restaurant itself, and had it printed at Shapeways. Here is the result:
I’ve yet to place the signs:
It also needs a gravel parking lot, dirt, weeds, and some of my large collection of old time cars and people. And a fenced-in pigsty for a couple of real pigs (models thereof, that is). Or is that too creepy?

There is a type of creepy that’s also cute, and I think we might be in that sliver of the venn diagram, because of the context. Real life would be too much, but for a model, I find it cute and fun.

I got 3 vaccines on Tuesday – COVID, flu, and RSV. So naturally on Wednesday I felt awful. So I tried to forget about it by playing with the Blender modeling program.
