I went up north to see my mom for a few days and have returned home after stealing all her leftovers, a pan, some of her shoes and the cookies on the table. I am the Grinch robbing Christmas from Who-ville on my way out of there. (Hi mom. I left you your dog.)

Oh.

Going into 2026 like…

For my final day of Things I Don't Usually Draw AND the last drawing 2025 for me.... In 2026 my wish for you is to anger easily at the world around you. I want you to be loud in your displeasure. I want you to know that pants are optional. In 2026, be Donald Duck.

Thirty years ago today, after a ten year odyssey, Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes ceased appearing in newspapers. D.D. Degg has a selection of a few of the articles and headlines from December 31, 1995. www.dailycartoonist.com/index.php/20...

From the studio this morning. In case you weren’t aware, I like comic books.

Day 30 of Things I Don't Usually Draw. ...anything from the ocean. That place is scary and gross and I'm allergic to shellfish. I hate sand, wet or dry. Endless abysses of nope aren't my jam. No sir, I don't like it.

That little flair to the back of Declan’s hoodie is the first time in years I’ve looked at my own work and thought “hey I’m not half bad at this drawing thing.”

Day 29 of Things I Don't Usually Draw... Something for myself. Not fanart for likes, not my comic, not a gig... just a little sketch that popped into my head while researching stage curtain rigging. I have a great love of quiet pictures that say a lot

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

The subreddit for my city never disappoints

Day 28 of Things I Don't Usually Draw. back in high school and college I used to do a lot of studies off artists I loved. Alphonse Mucha was always hovering in the top 10 of that list. I haven't done anything like that in a while so I thought I'd revisit it. Behold The Dance in all its glory.

Day 26 of Things I Don't Usually Draw.... Things From A Dark, Dark Room and Other Scary Stories. That book? "The Green Ribbon" F'ed me up as a kid.

Day 25 of Things I don't Usually Draw.... A Korok. And look! He made you a present!

A reminder that I am still plugging away at my own comic every day! There are three printed Nothing Special books available: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/series/NOU/n... And there's years of updates of the webcomic to pour over online as I work on new chapters: www.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/n...

I present to you my #artvsartist2025. My work’s a confusing, lumpy mess and so am I. #artvsartist

Day 24 of Things I Don't Usually Draw.... Christmas stuff. Please enjoy my holiday icon. He ALSO doesn't want to go to any store two days before Christmas.

still my favorite christmas post

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays.

Update update: I know I told my kids not to get me anything for Christmas but if one of them wraps up a coupon saying I can finally use that little pimple pop loop on that beacon blackhead on their nose I would be so thrilled.

Update: I wrapped up the bottle of Head & Shoulders shampoo that’s been sitting on the landing for a few weeks waiting for someone to take it upstairs. I’m hoping this will lead to some renewed interest in someone taking it upstairs.

I don’t really eat meat anymore and, as the family cook (ha), my family suffers my whims. All they want for Christmas is a protein that’s not a bean. Nothing huge, they’re ecstatic I said I’d make chicken. Lesson: feed your kids enough soybeans and they will lower all fancy meal expectations.

I have a Christmas tradition that if there’s any wrapping paper left on the roll after getting through the actual presents, I start wrapping up the groceries and putting them under the tree for the kids until I use up the roll. Is it a board game? Is it a box of Larabars? Who knows!

Day 23 of Things I Don't Usually Draw: hard lines... But I do have a plethora of them and this is one hill I'll die screaming on.

Don’t forget to pull everything you bought your kids for Christmas last year that they asked for and haven’t touched so you can re-wrap them and put them under the tree again. Follow me for more parenting holiday #protips

Day 22 of Things I Don't Usually Draw... Harold and Maude fanart. This is a cute little bit inspired by the movie poster that I have. The noose gets me every time.

Day 1 of Winter Break: My musical kids have come up with a game to see who can sing along to a song the most OFF key. Did I mention my office is the room under the arena for this new sensation.

Day 21 of Things I don't usually draw... carousel horses. I love myself a beautiful horse tornado. The designs and craftsmanship of all the animals/seats/etc is one of the most charming things on the planet to me.

Today is The Teen’s 15th birthday. Which is the day I get to remind them both epidurals failed during their birth so could they please empty the dishwasher.

Returning to the old me with my best girl

See a fox. Post a fox.

Day 20 of Things I Don't Usually Draw... owls. I have no beef with owls but there is a woodpecker the size of a VW that lives outside my studio that I hate with a burning passion

Ebenezer Scrooge starts his night in front of a cozy fire eating a meager meal of bread and cheese and then is visited by ghosts of all the mistakes he’s made and will make? Guys. I don’t need Christmas. I do this all the time. I’m doing it right now. It’s called charcuterie and anxiety.

Day 19 of Things I Don't Usually Draw.... Saga fan art. I'd say I don't usually draw cats but I'd be LYING. HAAA. But really, this comic is a personal favorite.
