@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN They're all bad. They're all tragic. Some just reach the of absolute absurdity that no amount of spinning and obfuscation can justify it. And it's no secret that the NRA doesn't really represent ALL gun owners.

Done 3-1/2 years ago, still relevant and the list just keeps getting longer.

Tropical Storm warning.
Pulled a Storm blank variant out the box and drew this on it.

Planning to draw Storm with a bit of Hawaiian flair. I'm thinking the mohawk storm with a floral lei standing in rain with some tropical foliage behind her. Let's see if I can pull it off. :D If you've got nothing better to do, come hang out with me.

Scheduled for 7pm ish HST, Monday, 18 Dec 2023

Simulcast to FB and YT.... and either Twitch or IG (help me decide)

Some times you just do the gags for yourself. I did a sketch of this back when the movie came out. When I pulled the Thanos blank sketch variant out of the box, this automatically came to mind. Anywhoooo...one less blank to worry about.

Still working my way through the 100s of blank sketch variants I have. Pulled this randomly and adorned it with a gag that my friend Drew and I sketched a few years ago with Galactus and Surfer on vacation in Hawaii.

Had a commission from a friend to draw a venomized version of Ahsoka Tano on a Star Wars comic book sketch variant. This is the result.

After coloring in a Klaus and Margu piece I shifted to sketch mode in this year's (2023) holiday movies themed drink & draw:

From TWO different Holiday Movie themed drink & draws. I the line art for this was done in the 2022 holiday movie drink & draw. But I wasn't able to color it then. Since I still had the drawing I used the 2023 holiday movie drink & draw to color it. 😃

Maui Comic Con was my last event for this year. Time to start prepping for Amazing Comic Con Aloha in February. To that end I'm going to try do at least one blank comic book sketch variant per week. I have a few hundred titles. If you have a character you'd like to see drawn, let me know and I'll see if I have a suitable cover to put them on. Most will have some sort of local (Hawaiian) flavor to them. Maybe it's a lei or an aloha shirt or a hula skirt.

Doing double duty with this one. We had a samurai themed Drink & Draw and I have a ton of blanks I need to fill up so here's a Old Samurai Logan. :D

Prediction for schooling in the not too distant future; homework will be eliminated passed about 3rd grade. The allure and temptation to use a.i. aides in completing homework will be to strong. To ensure that students are actually doing the work themselves all work will be done in class and electronic devices will be barred from the work areas. Maybe we see longer school hours or more likely shorter vacation periods.

Comic Jam Hawaii's Art Improv is going on the road. See you at Maui Comic Con.

Hey all. This weekend I'll be Maui Comic Con at UH Maui. It's free and open to the public. If you're in the area, go check it out!

A small bit of self-promotion. I have a YouTube channel where I post art process replays for many of the pieces I do. I try to post at least one a week; sometimes more. I also stream a weekly drink & draw with friends. Go check it out.
