Hi everyone!! Thanks for letting me have a short stream tonight. Still got some stuff done that I feel really good about! All good data that shows me I can do what I'm trying to do. First pages of #BlackCrown 0 are ready for work! #makingcomics

Okay, so let's figure out what it's like to write an evil campaign for a comic! Starting up #BlackCrown pages now. #makingcomics twitch.tv/CelestianIOF

Okay! Here's to a good day that doesn't wipe me out because I'd like to go live tonight >.>

Continuing the trend of no stream this weekend. Continuing my relaxation and getting to a baseline. <3

Instead of flute practice today, I'm resting, reading, and recuperating. The last two weeks were awful and I just want to do nothing right now.

Hmm... The Vicar of Dibley sounds like a fun watch tonight

I'm sorry friends, I don't have it in me tonight. We'll figure out that day 2 for Hedge Kingdom another week. I know, I'm really racking up the rain checks lately!

Today's joy: planning to see more live performances this year with my partner. Because there's stuff we both want to see now, we'll have to talk through a whole weekend date thing. 🥰

I'm putting off any special streams (non-comics making things) until April. I want to share stuff but I've got enough in my head to keep my occupied and I want to get these things going.

Jumping into the action awfully fast in these first four pages, but that's what happens when you only have 8 pages to tell the story you need to tell! #makingcomics

Okay! Doing the thing and going live tonight with more.. blank pages... Let's see if we can make some art tonight? #makingcomics twitch.tv/CelestianIOF

No, no stream tonight I'm afraid. Gonna get some offline things done and (hopefully) come back tomorrow. Stay tuned!

I had some ideas to get me back on track with my drawing goals again this year: 1. Dailies are for cool character poses 2. Weeklies are for pinup/fashion style drawings 3. Monthlies are simple scenes Gonna try and get caught up this week between page work.

I feel a little weird putting that *OFFICIALLY* in my profile but... And my instinct is to qualify it with "Amateur Musician" or "Hobbyist Musician," both of which are correct but I want to be bold, and daring, and embrace music entirely. Technically, I'm a flutist.

At dinner at the steakhouse tonight, and I'm getting the far-off stare of someone who's well fed and ready for bed!

This was such a fun show!!

Act 2!!

This place is so pretty.

Intermission! Lots of unexpected moments but feels very close to the film performance. I dig it.

Show's starting!!

It is SO FUNNY being out in public at a show and listening to one of the guests in the row behind us going off about the executive orders. She wrote a letter to PBS for ending their DEI program.

Here's today's foundation blog, covering the humble beginnings of #Warsaints! #makingcomics www.illustratoroffantasies.com/news/foundat...

Oooh we're getting snow today!

My car is in for service today and pick-up is around stream time. So I'm going to move that to next Saturday. This week has also not been great so having the extra time to recuperate will make my brain and spirit happy.

I am absolutely taking the night off. I'll reschedule #Warsaints day 2 another time.

No stream tonight, but I'm arting tonight, trying to catch up on my art back-log and stuff.

Huzzah! At least #Warsaints is ready to go during its week! Went from BLANK PAGES (smh) to layout sketches, to inks, and to color selections for tomorrow's flats and separations. #makingcomics

Okay! Tonight is a #Warsaints night and, lo and behold, I have no layouts done for it. ANYWAY, let's make something of this night. #makingcomics twitch.tv/CelestianIOF

I took off work on Friday and I think I want to spend the day getting caught up on some art. Maybe an impromptu stream day?

I think I should just embrace the comics-making thing more than I do. I've got some ideas of stuff brewing and I need to get them out of my head.

Okay, taking on Ronka properly tonight. What is King Tycoon doing here?? twitch.tv/CelestianIOF

You may agree that our institutions need a thorough examination of services, even a "cleansing." But this is not the way. Tyranny should never be granted the power nor agreement to destroy the pillars that, even imperfectly, support so many. Never.

Success! The cello has been tuned. Maybe I'll make some noise on it tomorrow.

Maybe cello time later?

And you know what really does it for me? Watching other people practice their art. Seeing them talk through their own misses and struggles, seeing how they handle their failures, makes me feel like I'm in good company with my own.

Only music practice can make me want to drop everything else in my life and just do that forever.
