Just an ordinary Tumblr, really. Typically the reposts and likes are interesting though.
These goofy drawings seem to come out of fooling about with some new tool in some new app. Test the tool, see what kind of marks it makes, scribble something else on the page and just follow along. I don’t direct them at all. After a while I just trace over what hasn’t been drawn on the page yet.

The newest book arrived today, and it needs to go through numbering and signing of the 20 book limited edition run and mailing a copy to Libraries Canada. I want to save the release for TingFest, approaching fast fromĀ from April 17 to May 5, 2018!
So many of the images I’ve seen about the death of Stephen Hawking are basically about the wheelchair, and how now his body is free.

I was reminded of this image, an older cartoon of mine from 2013.

I tried a more careful drawing system, knocking in grey tones, and going in both directions. Results look about the same as a more direct approach.
