So I just said in my previous post I was going to try to post more, so let me start that out by belatedly posting the comic I did for the @sequentialartistsworkshop Friday Night Comics workshop this past Friday.

The workshop was hosted this time by @mikedawwwson, and the assignment was simple: Just draw a four-panel comic about something that happened in your life. Although honestly in retrospect I'm not sure I totally followed the intended instructions, because when he showed examples he made a big point of pointing out the importance of the facial expressions, and the way I framed this comic my face is never fully shown. Oops. Oh well.

Astrologer and Tarot reader Aliza Einhorn talks with cartoonist Tom Hart about her class in Tarot Exploration, Deck Creation, and Image Interpretation, "Every Picture Tells A Story". In it, they discuss some generalities of Tarot, but also many specifics, as well as a lengthy review of the Omegaland Tarot, a surprisingly faithful deck full of survivalist imagery by one of Tom Hart's previous students.

Unfortunately, I am not going to be able to attend the @sequentialartistsworkshop Friday Night Comics workshop this week, because I'm working this afternoon. (Well... there's a slight possibility I may be able to make it if it turns out to be a very short workday. But it's unlikely.) But I did attend the workshop last week, and, uh, didn't get around to posting my comic until now.

Last week's workshop was hosted by Anand Shenoy (@anandpagalkutta on Instagram), and the theme was "aimless comics", basically just start with a grid of 2x4 panels and... draw a kind of an aimless story, without worrying about where it's going. The only further restriction was that there should be at least two panels with dialogue.

Anyway, when not given specific direction I guess my default tends toward drawing monsters, so here's what I ended up with.

Participated again today in the @sequentialartistsworkshop Friday Night Comics workshop. This week the workshop was hosted by Lillie J. Harris and the prompt was to draw a comic about death...

Participated again today in the Sequential Artists Workshop Friday Night Comics workshop, hosted this week by Cole Pauls. The theme this week was pretty broad, "Truth", and so here's what I ended up with...

So unfortunately I was unable to attend the @sequentialartistsworkshop Friday Night Comics workshop today due to a work conflict, but here's another old comic from a previous week that I hadn't gotten around to uploading before. This one's from June 6, 2025; the host was Miriam Rae-Silver, and the "assignment" was to draw a four-panel comic showing a natural place changing over time... so I drew tidepools at different times of day.

I was still kind of trying to get used to Inkscape when I drew this, so it's particularly low in detail and... kind of not good.

Today's @sequentialartistsworkshop Friday Night Comics workshop was hosted by Nidhi Chanani; the activity was to draw an autobiographical comic with vulnerability, and, well, I guess you can see above what I drew.

Aargh I have been busy with work and haven't been able to attend the @sequentialartistsworkshop Friday Night Comics workshops for a while, but I still have some comics from old workshops I haven't posted yet, so… I'll post one of them now. (I also have other art I haven't posted yet, but I want to get caught up with the Friday Night Comics comics first.)

These pages are from the June 28 workshop, which was hosted by Robert James Russell (@robhollywood on Instagram). The first part of the assignment was to draw yourself as three birds that in some way reflect your personality. So I chose first a woodpecker, because I have a tendency to (figuratively) beat my head against things (and also this species of woodpecker was named after someone with my surname, though that's not really a personality thing), and a kakapo because they're awkward flightless birds and I often feel like I'm awkward and have trouble doing anything, and a weaver bird because they're known for creating elaborate nests so it reflects my desire to create things.

Then we were asked to draw a comic featuring one of the three bird characters from the previous page interacting with its surroundings or other characters in a way that reflects its traits and personality.

Okay, just two more old Friday Night Comics left to post, and then I'll be caught up and start posting other things… and of course I want to start posting more often in general…
