#photography — ✍️ When trying to look for the silver lining in grey clouds, one sometimes gets lost in the mind fog. Where does the mind go? Drowning in the rain… Scattered by the wind… Lost in the dark void… Then the sky opens. The stars poke through. Go. Swim, back to the surface. Breathe.

#009 / ♾️ ✍️ I’m trying to get #drawing as part of a weekly routine, but forcing myself through the discomfort of setting aside the time to draw is difficult for me. Maybe if I went back to previous art ideas, like fleshing out concept designs from my books…? Meh, it’s worth trying.🤷‍♂️ Wish me luck.🍀

Next pages in the small book. I’m working to improve myself and my habits for writing, so I’m looking to Hemingway and our shared dread for blank pages. I noticed I have a lot of “no thoughts, head empty” moments, so any way to get an edge is always appreciated. Also, I need more sleep. 🤷‍♂️

More #photography, new day, same bird from the previous photo. Glad to know this great egret hasn’t been chased off yet.

#photography It’s days like today, when I’m feeling depressed, that I am thankful for the good days, as few as they seem, when they do eventually find me. I have survived through all of my worst days. It is okay to not be okay today. Tomorrow is another chance to be better than I was yesterday.

#008 / ♾️ ✍️ #drawing today was inspired by the coffee from work. … Sure, it’s machine made, but at least it’s free. Also trying to #sketch more often, but ideas are sporadic lately, hence the “self portrait” in the lower right. Feeling like I’m getting a tiny bit better today.

#007 / ♾️ ✍️ New month, new #drawing practice. 🧠 Brain seems to be focused on ducks and water near the end of the work day. 🌊 Guess it helps that I found some material to work with earlier this week. 🦆 #Ducktales is a fun show, both the old and new series. I need to get caught up.

#photography 📸 Sorry for so few drawings. No thoughts, head empty. Best I got for now.

#drawing update: Work on the small book has begun… and I honestly have no idea what I’m doing. 🤣 I’m welcome to any suggestions, but please keep them SFW. Truth be told, most of my free time is actually at work. 🤫 Also it’s backwards because I’m left-handed. More comfortable for me this way.

#drawing update: my mom recently gifted me a charcoal pencil set, so I got some supplies for my future works. Small book is for planning and ideas, bigger book for illustrations. Definitely going to need a few erasers for charcoal, and the markers are for later. A toast! To making progress! 🍻

#006/ ♾️ #drawing I don’t normally get political, but I drew this on 01/20, the day USA got its new “president”. I am concerned about how the country is going to get through the next four years. An upside down USA flag, a known symbol of distress, was the only thing I could think to draw that day.

005/ ♾️✍️ #drawing (Not gonna count the days I’ve missed anymore. No need for me to dwell on negative things and get discouraged…) Sometimes the inspiration flows. Other days the mind is empty, so random doodles. This time is a little of both, so I’m pleasantly surprised. Praise the Ring. #EldenRing

#portfolioday followed me here? I have nothing prepared for this year, but here is some previous portfolio day stuff from ‘the other place’. …I now realize I have nothing to prove. I am both my greatest motivation and my worst enemy. I will do as best I know how, but also to keep learning.

014/365 ✍️ (10 more to be caught up) Got inspired by the question “what game you would buy instantly if it was remastered today”, and my answer was Shining Force 1 & 2. Nothing solid for concept, but the character of Slade the thief always stood out as a remarkable figure. Still trying to keep up…

014a?/365 📸 More fancy #photography I just like how fluffy clouds are.

009/365 ✍️ (6 more to to draw to be caught up🙏) Got inspired from @yourkneecaps.bsky.social, and here’s the result. Glad to get back into drawing again. Seems like getting out of my own way, not overthinking and “just getting it over with” appears to be working so far. Gotta keep this going. 🚂

007a?/365📸 I wish I’d captured the lightning in the bottle when I had the chance. I was on a roll at the start of 2025… I’m slowly figuring out I need to get out my own way for drawing stuff. I’ll get myself sorted, then start cranking these drawings out. … Until then? More #photography. 🤷‍♂️

006a?/365 📸 Full confession: I fell off and haven’t been drawing for several days, but I’m thankful that art can take many forms. Including #photography I’ll start working on two per day until I can get back on track.

002/365✍️ Coworker had the idea for me to draw #Godzilla. To be honest, the hardest part was figuring out which version to draw: they’ve been around since 1954! That’s a lot of (Godzilla roar SFX). 🔊

001/365✍️ Got inspired by a coworker’s consistent drawing skills, so I’m trying to at least draw for a few minutes every day. I didn’t do it yesterday, so I’m aiming for two drawings today. The drawing is mine, the other one is the reference. ( #RockLee is one of my fav characters from #Naruto.)

Happy New Year. 2025 and I’m still at work. That’s one way to start things… … At least it’s holiday pay? 🤷‍♂️

Random Intrusive Thought: “Life is like lemonade. Most of it is not enjoyable. But, occasionally, YOU get to choose how sweet or bitter it is. It depends on what you put into it. YOU get to choose how to flavor it. Or not. Some people just live life at the bottom of the glass.”

Random Thoughts: I remember seeing this way back when. (Referring to the embedded link) Nowadays, with so many games, there’s so many stories to explore, several lifetimes’ worth. Between GOG, Steam, Epic Store, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo… I am lost in the noise. www.reddit.com/r/gaming/s/g...

Observation: Happiness appears to be found in the moments between moments, cannot be planned for or scheduled, but instead appears to flourish on its own, unprompted and unscripted. It does, however, seem to be attracted by interactions with others. TLDR: It appears I need to be social more often.

I have vivid ideas that I want to share with people around me, and I believe that words, whether written or spoken, can only convey so much detail. Seeing is believing, so I attempt to convey myself through art.

#WIP from this weekend.✍️ Centipede priest inspired by a coworker’s drawing (picture 1), the first sketch (picture 2), the research, a hickory horned devil that turns into a regal moth (picture 3), and challenging myself to draw bigger (picture 4). I’ll finish it digitally later this week. 😅

Reach out with friends and family you can be comfortable with when you’re feeling down and depressed. Seriously, it really helps, especially if you can share some time with each other. Even just being in the same voice chat, the same space or eating at the same time can be helpful.

Random idea. I’ll just share any old thing that comes to mind that seems fit to share. Like how I had a weird dream last night, that I was integrated with AI grey goo that took over my body while I was asleep. Next day I woke up with a check in my hand for 4.7 billion dollars.

shout out to all the writers and artists who take forever to finish something. I get it, bro. I take a long time too. but your worth as a writer/artist isn't built upon production. so just keep striding it out. keep taking those steps. we each have our own race track. we'll get to the finish line
