Good mail day for a ✏️ nerd like me. @musgrave

Good mail day for a ✏️ nerd like me. @musgravepencil totally got me with their cute pencil case. I’ve been meaning to try em out and I’m glad I did. Couldn’t try the thicker pencils yet ‘cause I gave my good sharpener away, but I’m digging the Bugle 1816 no. 2 and the Unigraph 1200 F Drawing pencil a lot.
.
You might think, “hey a pencil is just a pencil, right? How can a few #2s be different? “ Boy oh boy, if you’re curious, there’s a lot to learn! And I’m pretty sure Musgrave would love to learn ya. Hit em up. ✏️🤘🏻

Day “off” today from ye old day job. Here you

Day “off” today from ye old day job. Here you can see @peachesizcat ready to attack me while I’m trying to draw some comics. Shoutout to the @sketchboardpro which allows me to comfortably make comics almost anywhere, including my couch, covered in animals. 😂

I’ve definitely failed at my self imposed goal to get this issue done. Mostly because I’ve been working super long hours at my day job. The struggle of work/life balance is real, but I’m working on it. We all should. It’s hard to practice what I preach about discipline sometimes. There are more days than not where I just feel like a failed Jedi. I need to do better.
-
Thing is… people will tell ya, hey, take it easy! It’s okay to do nothing! And you can fall into that thinking like a trap. No doubt I have enjoyed my time “off”- I haven’t had a computer on since Friday at 3pm or so.
But there’s this unsatisfied drive inside of me that whispers that I totally just wasted precious time doing much of nothing. I can lie to myself and say I’m refueling. Funny thing is, only one good way to quiet that voice… and that’s by doing the work.
… if the cat lets me.

That time I drew a shirt for AndyRok from the Flobots. He wore it on the Late Night show. Hands down @teamcoco was always my fav late night host. Wishing him well in his next journey! Happy to have been a tiny part of this big moment. 🤘🏻When Conan first went away, he left a message about getting rid of cynicism and staying positive and enjoying the good things in life. I think about that all these years later. 🙏 #conanobrien

Sometimes I think I do something like this just to punish myself. Okay, wiseguy, you want to make your own comics? Well here’s another bunch of buildings for this city shot establishing that our heroes fly around on a mother-truckin’ Astra UFO.
.
I’m way behind my own schedule of where I wanted to be… work/life, blah blah blah—but you know what? It doesn’t friggin matter. What matters is showing up, and picking up the damn pencil. 8 hours today. Maybe 12 tomorrow. Who knows. Not gonna rush it. But I am being hard on myself. This is what I get for not scheduling more time for ME. Another one of these here city panels.

Ok, but are your tiki mugs as rad as mine? Found this gem from the fine folks at @threeriversclayworks. I was on the fence, because I REALLY wanted that rad astronaut on their page. Then my inner dialogue went like this… “Well, what color dinosaur though, DJ? Should we go traditional Dino. Or blue… fuck, look, there’s a RED one. It would be like having a Devil Dinosaur mug from @jackkirbyart… SOLD!!!” —
.
who knows, I probably would have bought both. Why not? It brings me personal joy, and I’m supporting some other rad artists. I try to buy something from Three Rivers Clayworks at every Pittsburgh arts festival. Since their first time there. Their work has improved to the point of… well EPIC AWESOMENESS. My point is, try to treat yourself. Remember, you could leave life right now. Enjoy it! Responsibly.

The legend continues. 🤘🏻Rough penciling and writing all weekend. I’m a bit behind where I wanted to be, but the most important thing is to just keep going. When it’s done… it’s going to be quite something. And it will be forever.

Keep picking up that pencil. Keep carrying the 🔥.

🎉8 pages and counting of my new Secret Forces comic book done. A little slower progress since I’m doing all the work myself, but it will be worth it! BTW, linkinbio patrons can read along and even get a signed copy when it comes out later this summer. 🤘🏻
