Bro what’s wrong? You barely touched your six egg and treat
can I come over and dodge roll into all your breakable furniture
I finished reading Project Hail Mary, and this idea got mangled in my brain
Realistically is Rocky’s xenonite ball warm? Probably not no not at all.
Also the gouache painting at the bottom is like three inches and it was impossible to paint Rocky’s tools

My wife and I are fans of Drawfee, as well as Jacob Andrews and Julia Lepetit's other show, Secret Sleepover Society. One of our cats, however, is a fan of their cats specifically, Joy and Olive. Whenever we watch one of their gaming videos, he comes up to the television in the hopes of seeing them. I like to imagine that it is The Joy and Olive Show for him, which is what inspired me to paint this piece.
We had the opportunity to see Drawfee live earlier this month, and had a blast! I even got to give Jacob and Julia a copy of this as a print, and I hope that they enjoyed it at least a little bit.
This is one of the first drawings I made for Inktober, because I wanted to draw Guinevere and Oscar so badly :))
"Readers have SHORT attention spans! The average reader takes just TWO sentences to decide whether to put a book down! You have to HOOK them in the FIRST sentence! GRAB them by throat and don't let them BREATHE—"
... have... have we considered that perhaps the average reader just, like, knows what they like in a book? I mean... first sentences are famous for establishing things like *checks notes*... genre, tone, POV, pacing, character, voice, uhhh... writing style...
The average reader is putting your book down because they discovered it's in first person (or not in first person). The average reader put your book down because they wanted a cozy read, or they're sick of cozy reads, or romance, or grimdark, or assassin princesses, or vampires, or or or. The average reader put your book down because they just didn't like your writing style—no, not because it was boring... they just, get this, didn't like it.
The average critical reader put your book down because it had six grammatical mistakes in the first two sentences.
The average reader will read quite a ways if the premise intrigues them, they like the genre, the writing style doesn't get on their nerves, and the characters pop off the page. In fact, they'll probably read the whole book, so long as it delivers on its plot promises and doesn't drag in the middle section.
The average reader will, however, stop reading after just two sentences if it's clear by the second sentence that the only thing they'll like about this book is the opening line.
Idk, I just think like, painting a demographic of people who, you know, pick up full length books to read for fun, as having short attention spans doesn't make too much sense. At least not as much sense as the alternative: words tell people things; namely, the contents of this book.
In general, though, I think we jump to blame short attention spans too often when there is a far more logical explanation. "It takes 0.06 seconds for viewers to scroll past a post." Yes, that is typically how long it takes me to discern whether this post is about something I'm interested in. There's a trillion posts out there, probably a billion books, of course we've gotten fast at sorting through content. That's not an attention span issue. That's just efficiency.
writers and artists everywhere all the time
U can watch Star Wars so many times and it doesn’t prepare u for how dumb Star Wars is. For one thing I think we gloss over how kenobi (who has definitely been at the club. Please.) describes the mos eisley cantina as the worst most villainous place ever and then u get inside and it’s a pack of muppets vaping
the man who has witnessed a thousand bloody battles saying the airport bar is the worst place he’s been is based, actually
in 2026 i am wishing for all of us the energy of bilbo baggins, who was headhunted for an extremely well paid role he had no qualifications or experience for, blagged the interview, and within his first week found a magic ring that does the job for him
