Another comic for you about riding bikes and the contradictions of dystopian living.
And a fitting safety sign for our modern American workplaces.
Meanwhile, to relax in these times, I’m preparing to play Gaslands, a game of post-apocalyptic vehicular combat, which means kitbashing and painting Hot Wheels.
Finding comfort in making my own little, ugly things.
I’ve been looking at a lot of over-the-top, grimdark fantasy art lately. Also, I’ve been happy riding bikes this summer. Not a lot more to say about this one! Though I could see exploring further as a comic in the future. Add it to the list.
My last post was hyping up then pending Cape & Cowl Con and I’m pleased to report that the hype was entirely warranted. Everyone there seemed to have a great time including me and Rina at our table.
The venue, crowds, and beverages were all spectacular. And if you find yourself in downtown Oakland, CA get yourself over to Cape & Cowl.
I did NOT sell out of the heaps of original art I brought to the show, so remaining new work has been added to my shop for cheap.
It was one of those shows that has me crackling with creative energy in its wake. Seeing so many people in attendance hungry for weird art made by humans was just what I needed.
Misc tidings:
As previously mentioned, my main project this summer was cranking out card game designs in a self-imposed residency and I’m pleased to report that this has gone well. Nothing to show publicly yet but I have several prototypes being playtested in the shadows.
In a general enthusiasm for tabletop gaming I fell down a rabbit hole of miniatures games, remembering how I enjoyed painting D&D miniatures when I was a kid. Things have uh come a long way since those ancient times of lead minis and gloppy paint. I’ve been having fun painting new toys and even doing some light modifications, as with this Warhammer goblin whose sword I replaced with ice cream:
I completed another bicycling comic to appear in a future issue of Calling In Sick magazine, though I expect it will be a while before that comes out. Stay tuned.
And I leave you with a one-panel gag:
