Found an old sketch of Dr. Escher in my work things while getting prepped for my last week in the office, and decided to ink it! Anybody have tips for making line art not look so ragged after scanning? The art on the page always looks better to me...

Nice Notebook, Kid.

I get a lot of notebooks for gifts-- and being honest, I love them. My brother especially likes to get me the neatest ones. He got me the Hobbit one you see in the picture, and this last Christmas he got me a neat Stormtrooper one. One year, he found a lego branded notebook that even came with these little stickers. He knows I like the Moleskine brand the best, and it’s true they generally have the best craftsmanship. My friends all know how much I write and sketch, so they know this is a good go-to gift on holidays and birthdays. That said, as much as I love these little notebooks, they also terrify me.

I’ve written before about the fear of negative space that makes it so hard to write or draw anything new. You have a huge blank canvas, and that emptiness can be scary if you stare too long without putting anything on the page. There’s a bigger fear that I’ve started to overcome about nice notebooks. They’re blank space, sure, but they’re blank space enclosed in a really beautiful casing that someone cared enough to buy for you. I don’t know about you, but that makes me worry about the importance of what I’m putting down. The quality. Is it good enough to be in this embossed, foil stamped notebook that looks really important?  I use the hobbit one as an idea book, so it’s easy to fill up the pages without getting too worried. Sketchbooks, though, I always have trouble getting started in those ones. Every artist has a fear that their work is crappy when they’re putting it down, that’s natural. But I think the proliferation of really nice notebooks amplifies that fear in a way I haven’t quite learned how to bypass yet. Even so, I still love getting them. Anybody else have that problem?

I like my whisky like I like my men.

Twice my age and from Scotland.

[gap-var-ginnunga]

smoky, full-bodied and leaves you gasping a little.

[varyingdegreesofawesome]

left in an oak barrel for at least 3 years, with very little oxygen

[dannygoy]

This went very murdery very quickly

[heyallenj]

I respect whisky and think it looks handsome but honestly I’m just not attracted to it. Wait what were we talking about?

This is a comic I drew after seeing Jurassic World. Maybe it’ll be something real someday? 3. I dinosaur puppet speaking into a microphone. I love dinosaurs, and I love performance (singing, improv, making videos/podcasts). 4. Horseshoe crabs from the aquarium where findsthethings​ and I had our first date! :) 5. Mangagement ring. Also, it is the ring of Barahir, gifted by Elven lord Finrod Felagund, passed down to Aragorn, son of Arathorn, rightful king of Gondor. I’m a giant nerd, it’s okay. 6. Piccolo!
