14 of the 21 artists whose work is on display at the COMIC JAM HAWAII Talk Story | Draw Story exhibit at the Downtown Art Center. I grabbed as many as could while we had a brief lull in the opening reception.

More putzing with a sci-fi feel and playing with colors. Trying to wire my brain to be able to do sci-fi type details.

Done while killing time at the Comic Jam Hawaii art exhibit at the Downtown Art Center.

The first image I call Digital Gorgon since the look was actually inspired from my previous Medusa/Gorgon drawing.

The second I call Synth Bladesman.

A sneak peak at the Comic Jam Hawaii, Talk Story : Draw Story art exhibit at the @downtownartcenter. Opens at 11 am, Nov 3rd, with a reception at 5:30p in conjunction with First Friday. There are also two other exhibits running at the same time so you can check us out then go check them out!

mind won't shut off so here's what I did to keep me busy for a couple hours. Playing with random patterns and mixing markers and pencils. Plus is more experimenting with the handmade tone paper I picked up.

Let's call it "Magic in the Patterns." Why? I don't know, it just sounds good to me.

Wednesday's Drink & Draw theme is Nintendo. I'm looking some underrated Nintendo characters. When we do these I often like to give some love to the characters that don't usually get it. Bonus points if they visually interesting as well (makes them more engaging to draw).

I thought I'd try out some homemade paper (link is below). I figured Nancy Downs from "The Craft" would be a good subject to test out this paper. It's also suitably Halloweeny.

Initial impression is that I like the look and feel. The only drawback is it's not great for any sort of rough erasure. But I think I'm going to like it overall.

@AskTheDevil Mahalo

From a witch themed drink and draw. I got a little too ambitious. Even having a head start of 30 minutes on the pencils I still had to finish the inking after the end of the 2 hour stream.

The coloring was a bit slow too due to the roses.

This is sort of an alternate universe take on the Elphaba where she wins. Think of it as The Wicked Ruler of Oz

The Comic Jam Hawaii Drink & Draw theme was witches. This my AU Elphaba, The Wicked Ruler of Oz. I got a little too ambitious so even with a half hour head start on penciling I still had to finish the inking after the end of the two hour stream. Colors will have to come later.

This is America
"At least 22 people have been killed and more than 50 have been injured by a lone gunman in Lewiston, Maine, according to NBC News."

I posted the full drawing the other day. I have the process replay up now on YouTube.

@okika_hilo Raskin rocks.

"We have a new Speaker of the House Nominee; the Honorable Tom.... what's that? He dropped out? #)*)*$%!. As I was saying, the House Republican Caucus is fastidiously working hard to find a consensus candid that is an election denier that "moderate" Republicans can get behind. Should be any minute now. Nothing to see here folks. Move along now."

**I don't like copying photos...

@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN
Depends on the nature of the task. Versatility versus consistency.

I like to do this every now and then. This is a snapshot of about 6 months of drawings. A lot of artists specialize and develop very strong personal styles. Me? I'm all over the damn place. Between weekly themed drawings, random events, and the occasional commission, I draw a wide range of topic. Add to that, that I like experimenting with different things and I end up being a very, very, eclectic artist.

What do you think?

@pewtergod *Vote for Roy...

@pewtergod
As with everything though, they're very selective in their outrage.... Epstein with Dems, bad (which it is); Epstein with Reps. fake news.
They still cheer Gaetz. They'd happily for for Roy Moore despite his being band from a local mall, etc, etc, etc.
