Love is love.. or is it?
Years ago, I knew a college student who had very unique sexual orientation. He loved having sex with dead animals. He told the class, that was the only way he felt love.. only IF the animal was dying or dead. He was arrested a year later, after being caught behind a preschool, having sex with a dead dog. He was an interesting fellow. Always smelled like something dead. Please, don't be too judgemental. All he ever wanted was love. He was a poet, who enjoyed quoting poetry about love. I want to sleep with you. No, I don't mean have sex. I mean sleep. Together. Under a blanket. In your bed. While you are laying on my arm, with my other hand on your tummy. With the window cracked, so it is chilly and we have to cuddle closer. No talking, just the muffled cries that you slowly seep away from your blood-gurgling mouth, as I slit your throat and sacrifice your worthless non binary life to the dark transgender overlord.. Necrosexuals need love too. Love is love.. or is it?
In DARK times.. Think Positive
The news about the Wuhan virus CAN be depressing.
We need to focus on the positive news, during these dark times.
GOOD news, many communities ARE safe, because people ARE staying home.
Use your time being creative... create YOUR masterpiece!
Remember to network with your friends and family. Let them know you care about them.
We will get through this pandemic!
Stay SAFE!
Information and images can be powerful
INTEL is powerful.
The written word is usually the ideal for most of us who read and know the tragedies and joys of reality.
We ALSO live in an age where the written word is less used by the public. We can “thank” TV and video for that.
For many people, Images are their source of intel and attention.
When we reason people, those images are “facts”.
As tainted as sound bytes are, images can also be twisted by the devious manipulator.
As a graphic story writer, I know well about how the words and images can be distorted.
Words mean things.
Self censorship is good. Many of us practice our own version of it. F
We attract to ourselves, what WE are
Some people will get offended by everything you say.
Some people will dig a logical fallacy out of everything you say.
Some people will never truly listen to what you say.
That's fine.
Cut them off. Move on.
The world is full of kind, respectful, smart people.
No need to endure.
Have FUN Being creative!

I'll be interested to see the feedback here. I still have a bunch of sketchbooks that I tote around with me -- in addition to my new iPad (which isn't quite the same).
Anyway, I have two sketchbook brands that have been good for inking and have withstood yellowing and a couple of wear-and-tear tests. Peter Pauper Press makes a good set of archival quality paper sketchbooks -- they are tricky to hunt down (I have two left, stockpiled from my student newspaper years) but they've held together really well for over 20 years. Plus the India ink sticks pretty darned well. They have a webpage now -- don't know if the quality of the paper is the same though: [link]
I've also been trying a mixed media Visual Journal sketchbook from Strathmore for felt / watercolour / pen-and-wash sketches and it seems to be holding up pretty well. They also make a Bristol Paper version which should be also pretty decent. I do hate the coils though - lots of bad experiences with coil books in the past.
