I drew some creatures for an exhibition at beloved local queer bar the Bearded Tit, loosely based on my fellow bar-goers.

Since I've seen a couple of tags from folks who actually go to the Tit I feel like I should mention that the creatures are pasted up in the side alley, if anyone's keen to check them out when they visit.

Hey, I love your art a hell of a lot and I have for years. Getting to see it is immeasurably valuable to me. Do you happen have a ko-fi where folks can throw appreciation of the financial variety in your direction? No worries if not, but yeah, as an illustrator you've been someone I've looked up to and been inspired by for a long time, and I'm a firm believer in supporting the things that one loves and appreciates.

Thank you, you’re very kind! I do not have a ko-fi, but if you (or anybody reading this) are looking to throw cash at content creators, can I suggest a few personal favorites of mine?

(I know I’ve forgotten some folks, sorry! I’ll definitely be adding more)

Here’s a character I’ve had rattling around in the back of my brain for a while. She’s a private detective. I think her name is Myrt.

Maybe? I’m not sure! Still not cogitating so great, but I guess that never stopped me before.

Also, though… I don’t really know what to do with this blog? I guess I started it to document my progress on a comic, and as it became apparent that I lacked the focus and organization to create said comic the blog degenerated into a series of increasingly silly vignettes, and now I just don’t know. I mean, I’d be pretty content to keep drawing silly vignettes indefinitely, since some of you folks seem to enjoy them and I love you and want to make you happy. And I still do want to make the comic, although I have to admit that I do not currently have the psychological wherewithal to do it, and I’m not sure when that will change.

So I guess I will try to keep posting here for as long as y’all are willing to put up with me. And I might start another blog for my non-Tanglefoot art. At the moment that mainly consists of crappy drawings of staircases, but maybe some folks are into that.

I’m also finally coming to the realization that I probably don’t have a future as a professional artist, so if anyone can suggest a career for someone with no skills besides shitty latte art, basic bicycle repair and crying discreetly in public please let me know.

Sorry, my favorite beer was on special today so please forgive me for the boozy rambling.
