Oh yeah, blogging again...

Must have slipped this blogger's mind-- supposed to be blogging again.
From the pages of the Manick Sketchbook...
So here's the latest installment... Hotter than summer here in SW Ohio. This blogger will take it. Hot over cold any day, hold the tornadoes. 


Several years ago, due to tight monetary funds, this blogger sold off a lot of DVDs, CDs & books. Some of the DVDs are returning home, most recently Scanner Darkly the rotoscope animation film based on the Philip K Dick novel. Will watch it tonight perhaps. 

Been reading Thomas Pynchon's Mason & Dixon which is why words like manick (in this post) are spelled with a k at the end. Pynchon adds a 'k' at the end of most if not all of the words in M & D which end in 'ic'-- & capitalizes a lot of the nouns & adjectives-- Melancholick, Musick, Satanick, & c. A fun book to read but for a reader who often  daydreams while reading it's easy to get lost & lose track of what's going on if you don't pay attention. It's also a very thick book (773 pages) but most of the chapters aren't too long so you can take a lot of breaks...

This blogger is growing tired of typing out this blogger instead of 'I' so he will probably end this gimick &
just say fuck it, I give up I'm an I-- or am I?

My Internet Refrigerator... Introduction...

Inspired by this article from motivational speaker & author to artists, writers & other creative types,  Austin Kleon, I have decided to post anything & everything I take a mind to that I have been drawing & not posting lately (in the way of comics et. al. drawings & scribblings) on this blog & also my Tumblr as my internet refrigerator. I've probably been doing this all along but the blog as a refrigerator for tacking up drawings seems to give me permission to post anything & everything whereas before I just wanted to post comics I wasn't totally ashamed to post... In other words, I plan on "putting it all out there;" thinking, dreaming & fantasizing OUT LOUD; self-criticizing OUT LOUD; exposing shameful aspects of myself OUT LOUD (& feeling the corresponding toxic shame that goes along with it!).  Or maybe just making stuff & sharing it with an already overcrowded-with-stuff-internet that most people probably will never see anyway! Haha! Or maybe this is just my way of motivating myself to start posting regularly again. In reality, I'll probably be doing the same as always--pen & ink comics, just more often... !
A page from my Steal Like An Artist Journal... an attempt to motivate myself to make stuff!

 That's if for the intro... Have a great day or week or month or year!
