Not every knot needs to be untied!

I recognize and am trying to avoid the “arrival fallacy” — that when I get “there” everything will be okay, but I’m never there; I’m always here.

The Guardian UK had a funny piece about an awful billionaire mining baroness who wanted an unflattering portrait of her taken down from the gallery she’d made a donation to.

Last night was Comics Club, and I didn’t have anything specific to work on, so I decided to try my hand at making a portrait of Ms. Rinehart myself. (I’ve drawn over 200 cartoons of Strategic Coach staff members, but on this occasion I wasn’t confined to doing something cartoony or flattering.)

We also had a brief visit from the Club’s founding member, Tyler Landry, who was fresh back from the Toronto Comic Arts Festival, where his comic Old Caves won the “Pigskin Peters Award” for best small-press book.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy! And he works hard at this craft, not like us folks who are just goofing around.
