Recovering from a cold and returning to my soda obsession. My apartment smells like burnt sugar from making caramel coloring. Tomorrow I try a new recipe and technique.

This year, I'm going to be finishing and posting one coloured animation each month. This month is chibii Suki trying to pump herself back up! If you wanna see these pics and raw pages of comics, wips of animations and vote in next months content please consider supporting me!

Did it again. Focused too much of my thinking on what I hate rather than what I love and enjoy. Got myself all worked up and stressed out. Got largely back to normal. Don't be like me. Be sure to disconnect, ignore the news for a bit. It'll be there when you're ready for it.

*bakes the weekly sandwich bread* I wonder how much art commission I could get for a fresh, home baked loaf of bread. Probably nothing, if I'm being honest. Now a sandwich, especially a prosciutto one, that's gotta be worth at least a sketch. Not enough for inks, of course.

Well, I've made a horrible mistake. Dragged myself to the grocery store for some much needed stuff (wore a mask to keep my crud from spreading rather than the other way around), and bought no chocolate. Now I'm miserable feeling without chocolate.

Woo! I'm sick! /s First non-allergy respiratory crud since the pandemic began. Those N95s really worked up until now.

Apropos of nothing: my goal in life is that when I eventually kick the bucket, nobody’s first reaction is “good riddance.” Unless, of course, they were a jerk who was annoyed by my presence, actions, morals, and/or politics. In which case, I guess it can’t be helped.

Woo! My post-holiday funk has broken and I'm acclimated to the latest horrors. Now I can clean up around here, put stuff away, etc. Maybe even, dare I say, do a little writing.

I very much enjoyed this! Definitely recommended.

You know those "I turn into a Blueberry on the First Date" shirts our blueberry fetish brethren are into? Irene's got a similar shirt. "I turn into a Balloon on the First Date. And the Second. And Third. Really all of them." It was a humorous gift from Sally.

Have a good 2026 everyone!

My 2026 resolution is to get back to chatting with close friends on Discord more often. Something about last year and all the insanity coming out of D.C. made me pull back a bit. Well, that's not healthy and I've been a bit bored and lonely.

A conclave of elves has gathered to vote for the next Santa Claus. Reporters shiver in the frozen Arctic wind as they watch for the telltale white smoke from the workshop chimneys, signaling that consensus has been reached.

millie is orb. (you can thank nuumatic for making me want to do this)

Feels like such a waste of a potential 5 day weekend to come into the office today. Would rather be home right now, gaming or writing or chatting with friends. Relax and/or think horny thoughts in my stead!

And here's a wingit commish for Throwaway! Of Jolene and Bal from my soon to be released comic, Maxwell and the Alternomicon! Jolene is Maxwell's bestie- and down for *anything*- which is a bad/great thing when demons come to town. And Bal's The Balloon Demon! Master of Inflation!

Not expected to pass in the Senate but call your senators anyway.

Good morning, everybody! It is officially winter in my part of the Northern Hemisphere! The backs of my hands are dry, cracked, bleeding, and scabbed!

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

I’ve been on a 5 day weekend. I d want to go back to work tomorrow. I want a 6 day weekend.

Nature's Way of Saying by CetteFillexBallon/CaffeinexAddict, Great Inflations by AlecDeluxe and Hollow by Throwaway261 are the three works of erotica that have probably shaped me writing what I do the most

Attention: it is my birthday. Today I work, but tomorrow I celebrate. That is all.

You used to get commissioners asking for something like "I'd like to get a drawing of my girlfriend like this" and a couple things, one I generally refuse to draw real people, two if I did I would ask for some kinda consent from the other party. Every one of these commissioners never got back to me.

Is my microwave broken, or am I just having really bad luck with these Jamaican beef patties?

❓| Oh whoops! Sorry anon- I did this weeks ago and forgot to post it

Happy Friday, everybody! It's macaroni and cheese night at Castle Throwaway.

Introducing a new economic chart where I have included lines for the scenarios "wizard uses magic to solve everything ever no downsides" and "the sun grows big muscle arms and punches earth into rubble"

While I still maintain it's too early to be thinking of Christmas, I'll still swallow my pride, be a hypocrite, and buy a chocolate orange from the grocery store if presented the chance.

Oh, would you look at that? Both Democrats running for the Public Service Commission won their elections. Maybe Summer 2027 won't feature $100 electric bills.

Hey, if you’re in Georgia, too, don’t forget to vote. Two of the five board members who control state electricity policy are being voted for. All five seats are currently held by Republicans and our electric bills have never been higher. Take that info and do what you will.

Why no, I'm not ticked off, world. Why would I be? I just watched a pretty good animated show that comes 4 episodes to a disk, the fourth episode ended on a cliffhanger, and it'll take a week or more to get the 6th disk in the series from the library. Nope! Not at all annoyed! /s

Ballooned person having sex with an unballooned person, or two ballooned people having sex with each other?

I heard something about Ween today? 😆 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcaP...

The most fun part about advertising is the cleanup ;)

Is it weird that as the impending recession siren keeps blaring, I get a desire not to save money but spend it? Not at chain stores, mind, but at farmer's market stalls, food trucks, local and regional shops, independent art makers, etc. Small fries who will be hit hard.

Smoking became a visual shorthand for a confident and cool character, but it’s so destructive to the body I won’t even allow my fictional characters to do it. Solution: character takes a drag from a party balloon full of whatever fictional gas I want them to be inhaling.

@mabocorescant.bsky.social's Sarah decided to dress up as a witch for Halloween, and any PROPER witch uses a cauldron. I'm not quite sure this was the way to go, but when has Val ever steered Sarah wrong?🎃

I think the coffee I bought a few weeks ago is stale. I only noticed the small hole in the bag after I got back home. I'm loathe to throw it away, however, as it cost north of $20 for 2.5 lbs. Can't really waste that these days.

Resting Inflation Face.

Once again amazed how I can actually feel worse after calling out sick from work, like I’ve given myself permission to fall apart.

*procrastinates on a project, watches latest DVD request from the library instead* Okay, I was not expecting the squeaky-voiced tanks to become that important to the show and its exploration of humanity, consciousness, and possession of a soul.

I am happy to report the frozen peas with the best by date of December 8, 2023 are still adequately edible. Good thing, too! I found 2 such bags up there and can't really afford to be wasting stuff right now.

It's nice to be worried or annoyed by inconsequential things as opposed to, well, everything else. Like my pharmacy recently switched from straight walled pill bottles to ones with a shoulder. As the pills run out, they get caught on the shoulder, so you either dump out 3 or 4 at a time, or none.

*starts to say something* *Starts to overthink it* *Stops* *Says nothing instead*

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

Miss balloon day? Suki IS Miss Balloon Day! I wanted to get this done day of, but I've been horribly sick this last week and more, I'm still happy to get a quick little floating animation out for Suki! I hope you all enjoy teacher's private lesson on neutral buoyancy!
