Grist - 28.03.25

It’s all grist to the mill, as my dad would say.

Dithering - 19.03.25

Just little bits of life.

May or May Not - 12.03.25

Blooming - 09.03.25

The fabled 3 page comic! Not accepting questions about houses at this stage thx

Hat er viel geblutet? - 08.03.25

Instead of writing about exciting happenings in my life, here’s some coded warnings from Duolingo.

Balance - 05.03.25

This is from Wednesday but things are still going well, my leg is pretty much back to normal! Just busy, with exciting stuff, but I can’t wait to get back on the comics.

Creatures - 02.01.25

The gentle comics schedule has totally got lost, but maybe just like with walks, this is when I need it the most…

Other… sports?? - 26.02.25

Come on Mom, I just like to complain, you will never get me off wheels! Seriously though it was amazing to be able to scrimmage again after being sick so long, and even to jam, multiple times(!) - though my on-track awareness has only marginally improved.

Tools - 24.02.25

Broke the rules! Missed 2 days. And I’ve run out of sketchbook pages again, so I decided to draw bigger! Enjoy!

It’s always something - 20.02.25

No timer, just a slice of life.

Play - 18.02.25

34 minutes ish, trying out using the first ten minutes to plan. Embracing the spirit of play, moving stuff around… Not been posting in a timely fashion, but the comics are improving!

Running - 16.02.25

30 minutes +. You might think the soundtrack of this post would be Tres Bien by Le Tigre, which I’ve misquoted in the comic, but it’s actually I Hate Running by Number One Popstar!

Joker - 15.02.25

32 minutes ish? I just sat down and made myself make something, wasn’t counting the time but the second page just ended up falling out of me. I ordered a new journal last night after I made this! So we’ll see if I can get it back on track. My life, that is. And my sleep schedule.

Brother - 13.02.25

31 minutes ish. Been swimming in heavy stuff in my head recently after a few days up in Donegal - chats with my little brother helped bring me back down to earth! Nice to remember that comics can just be about nothing in particular.

I’m really enjoying rewatching Suits though, especially the soundtrack - full of songs I thought I “discovered” much more recently than the early 2010s!

Fiction? - 11.02.25

30 minutes. Fiction, for a change! This is from yesterday (Tuesday 11th), I’m skipping today. Hopefully now I’m back home things will get back to normal, but it’s hard now the time is getting longer!

Backwards - 09.02.25

29 minutes + a couple. Should have made this yesterday - I knew at the time it would be a more energetic result and maybe even a therapeutic process, but it brought up all the weird autobio questions about mining your pain for art, and besides, I needed to sleep! My grandad is much better today, but it’s still a weird time. It’s never felt as strange having American grandparents in Donegal as in medical settings - at home everybody knows them and they have their role in the town for 25 years, but once it’s time to go to hospital, we’re just the shower of odd Americans singing hymns in a room off A&E (and I’m American by association).

Memory - 07.02.25

28 minutes (with frantic pauses to find pens). I’m away from my house for a few days so the scanning will suffer, my apologies!
