At least it's still Saturday!
I was feeling under the weather for a big chunk of the week (probably from my intense travel and zine schedule from this weekend), but I'm feeling mostly better now. All the covid tests I took every day came back negative, so I'm not worried about that. Seems like a minor aches and pains thing from lack of sleep and overwork lol.
I folded 150 zines and ...

I saw that Spy X Family had started its second cour already, and I didn't realize it until 2 episodes were already out. Anyway these series of pics were inspired by happenings in episode 13. If you haven't seen it, I won't spoil you, except there are a bunch of really good expressions in it, as usual. I love this show.

Here's the "finished" version of the Penny mummy illust wip from earlier. I kept it kinda sketchy and less polished because I liked the look and it seemed to fit well with the zine concept anyway. Also I was out of time and needed to finish so I could r...

And also an illustration I already posted on twitter, which is for this month's Words Korner column. And one I didn't, but that's because I'm basically reusing the same pic for a new episode of the Artist Interview. But you get to see it first! I actually got to interview someone who isn't me this time!
The cover is finished, but as always I might tweak it a little before publishing...

I spent a lot of time this week on the October issue of the Endless Monday Monthly. I'm hoping to finish it by next week.
This is the 50th weekly rambles! 2 more weeks of this and it's already been a full year of weekly rambles?????????????? Huh????????????

I finished Cyberpunk: Edgerunners this week and liked it and wanted to draw fanart, so I did. Yesterday, I drew Lucy and Rebecca, and planned on two more but got lazy and felt like just having the two side by side in a twitter post would look better anyway.

It turns out printing and folding and binding your own zines isn't very time efficient. I spent the last 4 days printing and folding and binding zines and packing orders. I'm hoping it's worth it when I get to do this all over again next month :P
I watched Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. I have never played Cyberpunk 2077 and don't know any of the original R...

i made a cover illustration today for the zine i'm planning on publishing very soon. like tomorrow. So unless I decide to change it tomorrow morning, I guess this is the final version. I made it in like 2 hours, which was a pleasant surprise for me, because I still need to finish a comic tonight lol

This week I worked exclusively on my new zine idea and it's probably going to be ready to publish on Monday or so. I'm excited about it and I'm going in with the expectation that it's super niche so even if like, 2 people enjoy it and look forward to future issue...

It's called the Endless Monday Monthly and it's a short zine featuring exclusive Endless Monday comics and illustrations and semi-autobiographical ramblings. This has been on my todo list for a very long time and I'm happy to have finally started it.

A heat wave swept through my state this week. We got through it pretty fine, considering, but I woke up a lot during the night because it was too hot and we couldn't do anything outside. Also felt too lazy to do anything. Now it's nice and breezy and cool outside, so I'm going to enjoy that.
I've taken an interest in physical newsletters and zines...

As a matter of tradition I always draw something for Cirno Day. Except this time I forgot!!! Luckily I was able to think up the stupidest comic ever for our favorite stupidest ice fairy and post it just in time before Cirno Day ended.
I don't know why I find this so funny. I think it's a combo of various different things: 1. The fact that Cirno would have an air fryer, 2. The idea that Ci...

I drew a picture of Skye and Nano in an Endless Monday/Nichijou crossover pic, Nichijou being one of my most favorite mangas/animes of all time. By not making it art of just one or the other, thus ensuring that only the overlapping portion of the Venn Diagram of Endless Monday fans and Nichijou...

After the first 5 minutes or so, it's possibly the most boring timelapse ever, as I make a million tiny microadjustments that no one will be able to see. I'll do better next time.

I drew this last night. I actually like it. It seems like a simple drawing of something silly but after a month of wallowing in misery every time I tried to draw because nothing was looking like how I wanted it to, it was a very welcome change of pace lol.

Not much to say about these honestly. All of these were drawn shortly after or before going on trips. I think this month was more about figuring out what the heck I'm doing and the results speak for themselves (ie. the crying Penny in the first pic represents me, as a tortured soul). That being said, I think I actually learned a lot through this process.
After this bit of soul searching, ...

I planned to make 4 stickers to put on the shop as a set this week, and had these sketches planned out (attached). This was supposed to be simple, but I sort of went overboard. Now I have to make the rest of them like this. Well it's good practice anyway, but the stickers might be delayed (but at least I think they will look pretty spiffy...)
