The more I try to cartoonify these characters, the more I think that I need to go back and work on the fundamentals of figure drawing...

First sketch for #GoblinWeek - this is Sedge. I have a whole group of new goblin characters to practice drawing this week :)

Plus a picture of actual sedge (the "manyspike flatsedge" variety), flowering: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyperus_polystachyos#/media/File:Pycreus.jpg

Tomorrow is undoubtedly going to be the first day of a very long shitshow, but I am not going to let that orange bastard steal my joy.

I probably won't be posting about political stuff very much, here or anywhere. That doesn't mean I won't be thinking about it, or doing what I can to help support people and groups that need it.

Because I learned from the last go-round that spending most of my time outraged does nothing good for me and it doesn't actually help anyone else, either. They want us so wound up that we can't function, and I won't let them do that to me (this time).

I'm gonna keep making my art. I'm gonna keep working on my projects. I'm gonna keep sending money to organizations that are doing the kind of work I can't do myself. Am I worried? Of course I am. But I'm not going to let that worry consume me (again).

My birthday was mid-week, so we planned this feast for the weekend when we could hang out and enjoy the cooking process. :)

Roast duck, cooked low and slow. Stuffed with clementine segments, shallots, thyme, and a sprig of rosemary from the plant that's thriving by our front door. Glazed with delicious orange goo.

I tossed a couple of cloves of garlic into the roasting pan with the duck fat while it was cooking, then retrieved them once they were soft. Mashed them up with finely-chopped rosemary, a small splort of anchovy paste, and duck fat. Slathered that on boiled and flattened baby gold potatoes, then roasted those for 15 minutes while the duck was resting.

Sauteed shallots and green beans, topped with the clementine segments from inside the duck.

And a bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau.

Today I unwrapped the new watercolour pans that I got for my birthday, but I didn't swatch them out yet - because I was too busy doodling up goblin character designs in preparation for Goblin Week. Gotta take the inspiration when it hits, right?

Last night - same blankets, same bed, same me - no waking up roasty in the middle of the night. Just warm and comfy all night long. Hooray!

Years ago when I had cats, I had heated beds for them. Floyd would sleep in there until he was close to boiling, then come blearily staggering out of the bed and spend the next hour putting all his rumpled fur back into place.

I've been cold at night recently, so when I remade the bed after washing the sheets I added another blanket.

Friends, last night I woke up at some ungodly hour feeling as if I'd been slow-roasted to a crisp.

Is there no balance to be found? 😭

We're almost out of peanuts, so my afternoon snack today was pecan pieces and green raisins... and wow, that tastes a lot like pecan pie. 😋

Today I found out that next week is Goblin Week!

I pretty much instantly started making up a goblin OC and named them for my favourite weed, Henbit. Their bestie, Sedge, can call them Henny, but no one else can. And their older sibling, Mallow, can sometimes get away with "Li'l Bit" - but no one else can. Especially not their much younger sibling, Cress. ;)

Now I just have to draw them!

Here's a picture of actual henbit, flowering:
