Ballard's farmers market is a busy attraction every Sunday. This was done in the afternoon, as the market was clearing out, which is why I had a little more space to see down the avenue and draw. #urbansketchers #art #pleinaire #sketchbook

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

Here's a direct link to the fundraiser. You can get an obstruction permit by helping us pay some very nice people many thousands of dollars to sort out our construction permits. shop.outsidercomics.com/products/202... Thanks for the support so far <3 <3 <3

Georgetown Steam Plant has so much cool and dramatic machinery and environment. Had to run early so I had to add the blues later on. #urbansketchers #inkdrawing #art #artsky #drawing #illustration #seattle

Lil cafe sketching. Mineral water is a great cafe addition for us non-caffeinated folks! I’m still amazed by what just black ink can do. #artsky #sketch #cafesketch

If you’re in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, you can now find my graphic novella Blood of My Blood at Haunted Burrow Books!

Great talk by @keezyyoung.bsky.social today! Really appreciated hearing about their journey to comics and getting published, having to think about whether to publish (ahem Eisner and Ignatz nominated) Sunflowers, and their approach to research. Thanks for sharing your experience, Keezy!

Graaaah!! So angry!!!

Forgot to share this one! Farm day for #urbansketchers Seattle chapter, visiting the east side of Lake Washingngton. #artsky #sketchbook #art #illustration #indrawing #farm #barn

Another comic shop leaves north Seattle ☹️ But it looks like it'll be a better, more sustainable spot for Outsider, so I'm glad

Human artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you.

Here at Phinney Center till 4pm!

Regardless of whether you think you have influence over your own originality, I think the suggestion to be sincere and try to find out the things that really move you and that you really like is great advice for life.

Here's a recap of the comic talk I did with Bread Lee last Sunday.

If you imagine someone carrying the moon as they walk a starry path, it could be an allegory for the moon traveling the night sky. And to think of the #moon guiding people to the next world seemed to me a beautiful and satisfying image to end the compilation with. #haiku #stars #comic #illustration

Had my best show yet yesterday @seattlezinefest.org, thank you everyone! And also got in a couple sketches of attendees! ✍🏼 #sketch #lifedrawing #illustration #art #people #inkdrawing #festival

Today was fun! Thanks to everyone for coming through, even during our “special dark sensory experience” period 🧛‍♂️😁

Here at @seattlezinefest.org from 12-6p!

Had a great #urbansketchers workshop at Sketcher Fest in Edmonds, WA. Learned some new compositional frameworks and to try to push the character of the built environment more. This lamppost felt like Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast to me. Thanks to Joey Mason for teaching! #illustration #art

Slight update: table location hasn't changed, but the table number has changed. In case you're checking the chart to find me, I'm listed as Zeno's Arrow, table 17. See you tomorrow!

Stopped by one of the local beaches to sketch and meditate. Keep improving, one sketch at a time. #beach #sketch #sketchbook #drawing #art #illustration #lifedrawing

Sunday! Find me at Table 19 at Seattle Zine Fest! #zine #indiecomics #festival

This morning’s bus sketching. I love the tombow fudenosuke, I surely do. Bus bumps add an extra challenge. #sketch #sketchbook #art #illustration #lifedrawing #peoplewatching #bus

Kyo’on didn’t take the death poem assignment so seriously as most everyone else did. #haiku #indiecomic #comic #illustration #ginkgo #art #fart #wind

Finished a book, have yet to pick up the next, so bus sketches are back, baby! #sketch #sketchbook #art #tradart #pencilsketch #peoplewatching #lifedrawing

There is something poignant about this samurai, whose life has been dedicated to perfecting his prowess as a warrior, coming to the end of his life feeling like he never got his shot. #illustration #art #comic #indiecomic #haiku #samurai

📣Seattle area comics creators and vendors! They’re still open to artist and dealer applications, I think!

Oops apparently you're supposed to post animated gifs via the "video" option. Anyway, see you at one of these upcoming fests!

Gonna be busy this summer festival season. See you at one of these shows!

It's a full house here for FUCK THE FOURTH! Feel free to swing by to see if we've got an open seat though; people have been in and out!

🏁Just finished a sketchbook!! 🏁 Started this one back in 2018. Took the opportunity of sitting across from people at an #urbansketchers Seattle drink and draw to get some life drawing in. #sketchbook #art #tradart #illustration #inkdrawing

Today’s poet is 北斎葛飾 Hokusai Katsushika—yes, that Hokusai! Creator of The Great Wave Off Kanagawa. I made the third panel of my comic for his death poem an homage to his The Great Wave Off Kanagawa. #illustration #art #indiecomic #comic #haiku #俳句 #hokusai #poetrycomic
