Wish I was casual enough with the community manager I had a meeting with yesterday to discuss Guitar Center's automated submission website to be Ed Sheeran's opening band.

Lunch break lined up with saving me from having an image in my head all day

A rough cartoon of the childlike wordplay of "pomeranian cheese" on a meatball sub, in which four meatballs of an open faced sandwich are topped with two vacant eyed cartoon balls of cheese shaped like pomeranians

A child just told me they wanted a meatball sub with Pomeranian cheese and that’s just delightful that’s just what you want to hear out of a child

Anxious

A rough, scratchy sketch rlof a female figure rendered in green ballpoint pen. The figure has light hair, glasses, and headphones, wearing a loose off shoulder top and clutching her chest with her eyes closed. The green ballpoint scratches are used to form a tangle of scribbles around the hand, emanating from her chest, with a mass of dark scribbling looming behind her. The background is lightly filled with more pale green marker to soften the edges of the scribbled cloud, leaving the person isolated in plain lined paper white

It turns out that raspberry flowers are nifty. I wonder if some of them will remember being flowers the way this blueberry did.

A photo of large pink hand providing focus and scale behind a tight, almost macro shot of a raspberry bush's tiny flowers. The upside-down, Hershey's kiss shaped buds of the flowers are about as big as a pinkie thumbnail, pointed downward off the stalk under their weight of containing the flowers. One bud has opened, showing a tightly bundles spray of filaments topped with the pollinating anther on the tip of the dozens of stamens inside.

A (admittedly slightly blurry) photo of a raspberry bush's flowers, about seven tightly clustered together in total, on the end of a thorny stem amid small leaves at the end of the stalk of a branch. The flowers are in different stages, with one in the center retaining its white petals, still not fully unfurled. Others are pollinated and the filaments of the stamen are collected around a growing center of a green bud just starting to turn pink.

A single, tight photo of a blueberry on a rough textured paper towel. It is dark blue-black, round and mostly perfect as a blueberry. However, the petals of the flower is used to be have stayed attached, browned and clustered together at the top, except for one large, obvious petal that lingered on the side of the berry as it grew.

Another view, top down, of the blueberry, showing more obviously what it used to look like as a flower

#terriblecomictuesday in which I hope you learn from my mistakes... 🤦

A sloppy, cartoonish comic sketched in shades of army green and gray.
Panel 1: blonde femme presenting figure viewed from behind, writing an email at her desk. A digital speech bubble for the email says "@pinupwanter@email.com, Hello! Excited to see your open call for pinups on social media. Here's some samples!" followed by a box boring the email as sent.
Panels 2-4: the caption "five hours later" spread across three vignettes of the email writer's day gardening, baking bread, and reading on a couch.
Panel 5: a continuation of the figure seated on the couch, perking up with the dreadful realization of "wait... Did they mean basic standalone character illustrations INSTEAD of spicy pictures?"
Panel 6: closeup of the subject, looking haunted as she realized she sent several spicy pinups to an open call for general all ages illustrations, crude examples of which float around her in the composition in front of the dim, bold lettering of OH NO BRO.

Cropped screenshot of a steam interface alongside a taskbar clock depicting 5:55 pm, on 9/2/2026. The main interface shows the library page for the game "The Blood of the Dawnwalker", listed as releasing on Sep 2, 2026. The Play button is grayed out, as the game is not quite officially released yet.

Finally getting around to rewatching the original Sailor Moon redub. I watched it as a kid in middle school early in the mornings and while the original DiC dub never truly bothered me before, man… this is a billion times better story wise. Things that didn’t add up before genuinely make sense now.

Maybe if all of us tried to be a little more gentle at the same time, we might come close to filling the space Dolly Parton left behind.

A cartoonish sketch, ostensibly of the singer/songwriter/actress/philanthropist Dolly Parton, rendered in pinkish purples and a rough, smoky shading evocative of rhinestone sparkles. She has her eyes joyfully closed, belting her heart out while playing a guitar

Given I've seen that book on the office shelves of at least one member of his staff, I'm not surprised, but I still laughed

Screenshot of a man in front of an aged concrete freeway exchange over a parking lot, holding a large book in front of his face with one hand. The book is mostly white, with bold block letter serif text saying THE POWER BROKER, subtitled "Robert Moses and the Fall of New York" thr caption of the video says "But Robert Moses is another video entirely.

The same shot of the man holding a book, but now it's revealed to be Mayor Zohran Mamdani, seen from the side, with the overpass behind him and trees in front of him to the left. He turns to face the camera to finish the captioned sentence "But Robert Moses is another video entirely"

Me sowing a motorcycle safety certification: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Me reaping riding ten hours over two days in 90 degree weather covered in safety gear: I crave the sweet release of death. Send me to the undiscovered country. The neuroplasticity is willing, but the flesh is 41.

A photo of a person riding a red motorcycle in a white helmet, black hoodie, loose black shirt, black pants, and black boots. The environment is a basic parking lot with green underbrush and shrubs blurry in the far back. The rider can be seen grinner through the clear visor of the helmet.

A rough cartoon of a white haired figure in a black t shirt, sweatpants, and slippers, lying prone, face down in a broken, unhealthy body position (often memed as the Family Guy Death Pose) the background is plain gray, with weary squiggles near the head, as well as a spirit seemingly leaving the body, as well as lightning bolts of pain accenting the figure's back.

I was not prepared for Toshiro Mifune in "Stray Dog"

A still from the black and white film "Stray Dog", from Akira Kurosawa (1949). The background, most visible in the upper left, is the angled rafters and large arched window of a old fashioned police station. In the foreground are two men, dressed in white. The man furthest to front, on the left, is in short sleeves, seated at a desk, beside a white circular fan almost exactly center of frame. Behind the desk and fan, slightly to the right, is a classically handsome Japanese man in a white suit with a light striped tie, and a serious face with cheekbones that could cut glass.

A still from the black and white film "Stray Dog", from Akira Kurosawa (1949). The classically handsome man and his white suit are noticably more disheveled, his short black hair seated slumped, possibly on the floor of a hallway, with a wall of white tiles angling back and cornering behind him. His stubbled face is low, but his eyes look up intensely, haunted, accusatory, and generally just having a very, very bad day. Cheekbones still sharp.

Random garden pictures because them plants be planted

A photo of a second floor rooftop patio, with rough, aged wood deck floor, about 10 feet wide by 20 feet long. There is a sliding door on the left, alongside a clear plastic crate of garden supplies and an empty three tiered vertical pot garden. There is one bushy jalapeño plant alone in the middle, with some plants of similar size inside a small black net "greenhouse". On the right, along the wrought iron railing, are four large black tubs of soil with thin sunflower seedlings about a foot high.

The same second floor rooftop patio, with rough, aged wood deck floor, about 10 feet wide by 20 feet long,foir months later. There are many more plants, the ones in the photo are much bigger, and the rough wooden deck is covered by a patterned rug.

Another view of the more verdant "after" photo, with the vertical garden tower full of basil, sage, romaine, and geraniums, the large tubs on the right with a dozen sunflowers between six and three feet high, and a green mass of broccoli, potato, raspberry, zucchini, bell pepper, and coffee plants. Along the railing's corner is a trellis covered with this morning glory vines, some sneaking up onto the strings of solar lights draped along the top edge of the garden's posts

What the- these dialogue shots are so much more dynamic than the third Columbo TV movie has any right to be! Who the hell is flexing this hard on... Oh.

A blonde, nerdy bespectacled man from a 70's film. He's wearing a blue dress shirt, looking down at a coupe glass of champagne, standing in a a modern office with added ornate mahogany paneling and an oil portrait of a smiling, grandmotherly woman over his right shoulder.

An alternate view of the modern office, this time from an even lower camera angle, looking up at a man in a tan suit and red shirt, holding his coupe glass of champagne up in a toast. He stands before a shelved row of thick detective novels, in front of a very large plate glass window

Composition studying

Rough thumbnail painting rendered in only solid Black, white, and gray. The image is a one point perspective inside a modern stable/barn, with two figures in the far background, regarding a scrawny man kneeling in front of a prone horse.

Rough thumbnail painting rendered in only solid Black, white, and gray. The image is an angled view inside an opulent office library, dimly lit by two very tall, narrow windows on either side of a shadowed figure walking towards another seated at the desk in the foreground.

Rough thumbnail painting rendered in only solid Black, white, and gray. The image is of a small shadowed figure standing isolated at a four point crossroads deep in a snowy forest at night.

"Welp, that's enough reading about systemic failures of government causing harm to citizens through the food supply chain, time to see how my own my garden's lettuce is doing under the sickly citrine sky blotting out the sun with wildfire smoke." she said in the totally sane and normal year of 2026.

Ope, got into the metallic again

Two photos collage together side by side. The left image is a colored pencil sketch of an owl seated on a branch in front of a decorative ly graphic moon/circle as a frame. The owl sketch is lightly inked with a thin black pen. The paper itself is on lined planner with the date Monday, July 13.
The right photo is the same sketch after more time, showing the entire image has been filled with black, except for the owl and branches being filled dark gray, leaving only the owl's eyes white. The circle/moon is filled with metallic gold ink, added in the black negative space as dots of stars throughout.

If you've ever seen these photos online, you may be interested to know I took them about 15 years ago You may also be interested to know that I did a 3D scan of this exact same Asaro Planes of the Head model, and you can get that scan here for zero moneys: drive.google.com/file/d/1_W-2...

Introduced the BF to Witch Hat Atelier, and his sharp instincts for sketchiness were very sweetly misdirected towards concern at Qifrey collecting troubled preteen girls like labubus. Like, yes, Qifrey has more going on, but he's a single dad that works two jobs and loves his kids and never stops.

Me and my Verily-Forsooth-ass posture to #makeaterriblecomic for #makeaterriblecomicday

A roughly sketched black and white comic.
Panel 1: a vaguely femme stick personchair with pale hair and black tee over black sweatpants with bare feet stands awkwardly in a gray void, though bubbles thinking "wow... I really need to relax"
Panel 2: the stick figure is now a jagged streak manically throwing big pillows onto an already pillow-laden couch, big fluffy letters surrounding the saying MORE PILLOW
Panel 3: the stick-turned-jagged figure is now a noodle of a person, flopping into a gray beanbag, arms aloft and hair flying, captioned with the words BIG ASS BEANBAG
Panel 4: the figure is further in the distant, regarding an office chair in a squatted, adversarial stance like some kind of freaky little goblin. The text is now cursive, stating Fancy Chair.
Panel 5: more subdued of a style, depicting the figure more naturalistic ally, albeit sitting very, very straight in the fancy office chair. The caption admits "sits like a stick and refuses to relax ever" punctuated with a doodle of a chagrined cartoon skull with X marks for eyes.
The small text in the corner notes the date of terrible comic day, 6/24/26, and the username hfoland
