Postcard roundup
🕑 Added 2023-12-22 05:48:34 +0000 UTCThis is an intersection on my commute home. I took a photo at a red light in July and finally got around to drawing it. The theater is surrounded by much different buildings than the old location. I didn't think downtown could be fun to draw, but I was inspired by cartoonist and painter Mateusz Urbanowicz to give it a try. His watercolors of Tokyo are stunning and his YouTube process videos are really encouraging!
I was listening to the You Are Good podcast episode about "The Changeling" while I draw this, so when I look at the foreground I can hear Sarah Marshall talking about George C. Scott being attractive. Memory is weird.
Listening to podcast episodes about scary movies is a good pace for me, as far as scariness goes.
Sometimes even that is a bit much. I had haunted-house nightmares after seeing Sarah Marshall and Chelsea Weber-Smith's live show about seances and how people faked them. And that show was like a hug with musical numbers!
Looping back to "drawing things from a photo," I've been meaning to draw this since the end of August:
Ahh, sunlight. I miss it so.
This one is a gift for some family friends. They took us to a Oaxacan restaurant around Thanksgiving and tried to help me with my Spanish 😂
Bicycle Pride:
This is my last post of the year since the children’s theater is doing ten Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeers a week through December 😵💫 It’s cute and fun, but also I’ve been dreaming in spreadsheets and the holiday lobby-playlist is embedded in my soul and January will be a welcome relief. My New Year’s resolution is to finish that dingdang chase scene with Captain Turtle!
Thanks, as always, for your support on Patreon. Happy holidays!

I see my influence, but it's very much a Becky mouth - I would rarely if ever use that oval shape you used for the lips, but in combination with the teeth and tongue recessing it looks awesome.

Thanks! It’s almost like you’ve been giving me notes on that sort of thing 😛

The last one made me laugh, too! And cartoon-Becky's mouth is really nicely drawn.

“Do you want to fly home!” HEE! All wonderful as always, but that last one made me LOL! May January come soon without anything going hugely amiss between now and then…
