I also test for the unbound full squat as it drives me nuts to feel tightness around my knees. The ‘regular’ fit has gotten wider in the past few years, maybe due to the ‘skinny’ models now available? Previously I’d always gone for models labeled as ‘loose fit’ in the thigh and leg.
That’s a really weird place for a phone pocket. 🫤

The comics were pretty good. Steven Brust’s unofficial novel was a fun read - mostly dialog and he did the characters true to the TV show.

As much as they already have lined up - the permissions/license, animation studio, showrunners (married couple who met via Firefly) and original cast - I think they’ll get the animated show made. Disney already has the Firefly TV show streaming, so that’s my bet.

Finished watching Marvel’s Wonder Man on Disney+. 8 half-hour eps, so an easy 2-day binge.
It’s the most un-superhero superhero origin story. Lots of Hollywood/film/actor references, some of which I understood, some of which made Boyfriend with his Drama/Theatre background laugh so much I had to pause the ep to give him time to recover.
I enjoyed Trevor Slattery more than the main character, though Simon did become a hero by the last ep.

I love seeing WIP photos. I also get inspired by other artists. Also, routine daily things sometimes grab my attention- like the way steam curled out of my tea this morning. Sometimes I sketch just to remember a moment that resonated with me.

2026-01-16 23:56:38 UTC

3 layers layer, getting some nice texture. 💙 The theme is Travel, so I started with a collage of boarding passes from various flights I’ve had over the years. Then scraped on some gesso, and colored that with a mix of three acrylic paint blues. Before the paint dried completely, I scrubbed off bits with a wet wipe.
This is a work in progress shot of the background for my April art for @npub1f5k…vk2u monthly calendar art challenge… last year. 🙃

https://twotap.art/summit/
All sessions are free during the summit, and you can purchase a VIP pass if you want to keep access to them.
Email required for sign up. If you buy the VIP pass, the payment is to HK, so depending on your card, it may get declined. I’ve purchased from them before, and got what I paid for, though it took 2 tries to have my payment go through.
I know a bunch of the artists participating this year, so am excited about the sessions.
Don’t try and watch all of them. Check out the artist’s style and what they are teaching and pick your top 3-5.

Yes, the biggest thing I read about face scanning is to say you want to opt out and get their acknowledgement BEFORE you hand over your id. Once you give over the id/boarding pass (if at a gate), they start the process of taking the photo and can’t (or won’t) back out to just do a manual identification.

Personal art challenges for October stats….
Inktober: 13/31 - isometric art using Procreate
Undying Tales: 1/15 - Procreate color animal illustration
I’m good with those numbers, because had I not tried these things, I wouldn’t have done at least that much of that kind of art.
I’ve only finished Inktober once, in several years of trying. I did only one Undying Tales last year, so I’m at least consistent on that one. 😬

#throwbackthursday - an oil painting I did in junior high. 🦄🦄
The unicorn in the back looked like the reference… and took so long and was so difficult to do. 😖
The unicorn in front I just winged without looking at the reference and liked so much better 😁- though I doubt it would have turned out that way if I hadn’t had all the practice and frustration with the other one. 🤔
I now think of this art as a painting of a unicorn (🦄 in background) and a real unicorn in the foreground.

Mom and I tried the first of the Jack Hunter films …. and didn’t need to watch any further. Kinda of a C-grade Indiana Jones. Which lead us to talking about … Indiana Jones.
So we watched the good (odd-numbered) ones: Raiders of the Lost Ark, IJ and the Last Crusade, and IJ and the Dial of Destiny.
I told her we could skip IJ and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull … which reminded her of one of her favorite Stargate SG-1 eps.
So now we’re watching SG1. Starting at the beginning of Season 3 because that season has her ep.

So … didn’t like where the first attempt ended up and am starting over. I have to like any of my art that leaves my house.
Glued a color print of my base sketch to a 9” x 12” art board. Covered it with clear gesso to create a paintable/non-slick layer. Scrubbed around with colored Stabilo pencils. Glued in paper with Moms handwriting (notes from an old garden journal I made her). Dribbled on some alcoholic inks.
Next layers will likely be acrylic paint and tissue paper and stamps.
Already I like this one so much more than the other. 😁

Current reading obsession: Heaven’s Official Blessing. 8 volumes, English novels translated from the original Chinese. Gorgeous cover art with a few interior illustrations, glossary, cultural notes, and pronunciation guide.
I found this story via the animation. 2 seasons are out on Crunchyroll, and Netflix may also have it, though I found the subtitles on Crunchyroll much easier to read. Each season of the animation corresponds to one of the novels.
I blew through these two over the past 3 days. Boyfriend is picking up volume 3 for me at the library today. 🎉
I’ve told myself I need to get stuff done before starting to read. May or may not happen.
