From a "Wicked" themed Drink & Draw. I drew an Elphaba. Not any particular iteration of her, but I did borrow elements for different versions. This is sort of a cheesecake depiction of her.

Had to give up on my avatar frame so I modified to this.

Walt Kelly parodying Major General Harrison's "We have met they enemy and they are ours." Kelly's rendition "We have met the enemy and he is us' was made in 1970. I feels kind of prescient now. Never underestimate mankind's ability to create their own problems.

It's been a year already since the Comic Jam Hawaii Talk Story | Draw Story exhibit a the Downtown Arts Center in Honolulu. It was a lot of work and like the proverbial herding of cats but we pulled it.

It was a great experience and I'm glad I got to share it fellow artists friends.

Since then I've been invited to couple other shows. Now I guess I need to figure out how to weasel my way into getting a solo show. Probably not gonna happen, but I'm not dead yet so there's a chance.

This would have been my next convention but the fates have conspired against me. Some unplanned expenses in October sapped the funds we would have needed to make it over to Maui for this. That said, it's a great con and if you can swing it, please go check it out. It has a definite TNMT theme this year with lot of creators that have worked on the franchise over the years. Go support them and the crew that puts on the show. It's free to the public!

Yep, hard pass.

Arcane is back and I was in mood to celebrate that, so here a cartoonish Jinx just for fun.

Well, when you look at it like this it all makes sense...

“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.”

― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

Comic Jam Hawaii Drink & Draw did a belated Veteran's Day themed stream by drawing fictional veterans. This is what I drew. It's Louis Kiyahani, better know as Little Sure Shot, the sniper of Easy Company (the group lead by Sgt. Rock).

Just a thought.

Turns out Orwell was only off by 40 years.

All this could have been avoided if that damn Barry Allen had gone back in time to save his mother. DAMN YOU BARRY ALLEN!!!!

Spent a lot of my time at Amazing Comic Con Aloha drawing and coloring in old line art I had floating around.

This was done in honor of the 30th anniversary of Hawaiian comic book superhero, PineappleMan. I was asked earlier in the year if I'd be willing to submit something. It was an obvious yes. I've been sitting on this since July, not wanting post it until it had been presented to PineappleMan's creator; Sam Campos. Today, we presented Sam with renditions of his character. Here's mine. It took roughly three and half hours

Already tired of the all the post mortem think pieces on what she did wrong that caused her to lose. Let's face it, a rabid weasel should have beat him. That he beat anyone is more an indictment on the U.S.; that we didn't hold him accountable when we could have, that give into their baser traits, that we have an education system that let so many down, that we have institutions and power structures that not only permitted this situation but also contributed to it.

So we had our weekly drink and draw Wednesday after the election. We were all in a somber mood but we eventually were able to crack jokes and laugh with each other. Strangely I felt a little guilty afterward but then realized, fuck that, they will not steal the moments of joy and happiness I'm able to find in the darkness.
