I wanna draw today, but between the 2- and 6-year-old hurricanes, I think there’s too much cleaning to do.

For the amount of days my kid has off school during the school year that I have to work on, I think the corporate world should add in some days off work that schools and day cares are in session. I just want a day to clean my house and relax a little without burning any time away.

I thought my big stressor for the day was going to be going to pick up my mother-in-law at the airport at the crack of dawn. Then my wife’s car blew a tire with both of the kids inside. Everybody’s fine, but all four tires need replacing and boy that bill. The hits, they simply do not stop coming.

Reposting with alt text: I did this just now and it worked.

I did the Heavenly Strike side quest in Ghost of Tsushima last night and had a killer face cards Balatro run this morning and I’m honestly not sure which one I’m more excited by.

So obviously Tim Allen is problematic but I grew up on what I grew up on and I just did a home repair that required something more complicated than a hammer so I must make this noise

Slow day at work. I drew a Leonardo. Bkuesky, show the other Turtles fans. #tmnt

Just realized that I’ve been calling days that I use my old resort cups as travel coffee mugs “ @thedappermanatee.bsky.social Days” in my own head.

Howsabout some oldies but goodies? A collection of commission pieces!

When a professional asks if you have any questions, ask what their favorite dinosaur is. Nobody ever asks you when you’re an adult and it makes people smile. Do what you can to find a little joy and fun. We’re gonna need it.

Soup a movie… Chicken Noodle Run

I found a seller with blu ray copies of Kung Pow Enter the Fist and that’s $20 incredibly well-spent.

Finished Jedi Survivor last night and between the months of anticipation since I installed it and the rainy day (and the *gestures broadly to everything*) just DRAINING my motivation, I’m dying to just mentally and emotionally check out and start Ghost of Tsushima.

I’ve never seriously thought about vandalizing somebody’s car. But the creativity that erupts in my mind of the myriad ways to deface a Cybertruck when I see one in the wild…

If you see this, post a fictional artist/band that you would love to see live. I mean, OBVIOUSLY.

Post a gif from a game you love.

Alright, what's your #comicsdna ? The comics and books that were formative to you. At least four, more if you're nasty. I contain multitudes.

I don’t know about you, but I could really go for a second season of Moon Knight right about now.

Accountability: I need to work on a commission after I get my son to bed and NOT play Jedi Survivor until I pass out.

Stupid, stupid idea: what if they made long sleeved shirts that ended in digital art gloves?

Christ, Disney. Thanks for not closing it down *on* my birthday, I guess.

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

I'll be at #FANEXPO in Portland this weekend! This was short notice but I'll be there all weekend starting Friday. Artist Alley A207: So come on by, say high, maybe check some stuff out!

Today was a lot, tomorrow is going to be a lot, but right now I’ve got an Old Fashioned and I’m watching Goku fire off the first Kamehameha of a Dragon Ball series I’ve never seen.

My “Roman Empire” is that Cartoon Network sent The Looney Tunes Show out to die in the 2010s by putting it on after school with Adventure Time and Gumball (also great shows), but a sitcom format didn’t belong there. Should have been the last thing in prime time before King of the Hill on Adult Swim.

The frustrating part for me, on a very individualistic level, is I spent an obnoxious amount of time making TikTok links work on some interactive PDFs for work this week — InDesign doesn’t like the @ in their URLs.

Paying credit card bills with holiday shopping and medical procedures and license fees on them like

It’s 17/01 so we are maybe watching some Star Trek and definitely opening one of these bottles of Chateau Picard. It’s certainly wine! 🍷
