I've always wanted to build a portfolio of commissioned art - specifically around the Superman Family, for whom I am wacky. There are a lot of possible themes to pursue in that ouvre, but I thought I'd start with a modest one and collect illustrations of the super-groovy costumes Supergirl wore through the 1970s (small selection here, tell me if you can find more).

That's the last Batman vs Star Wars ... FOR NOW! I had so much fun doing these, I may do a trio for each episode of the Star Wars film franchise. Coming soon(ish) ... Batman vs Star Wars:The Empire Strikes Bat! Haha, see what I did there? It was a thing which wasn't all that funny.

It’s December, which means it’s the time of year when we switch over from the “I can’t believe it’s only the middle of November and they’re already putting out Christmas decorations in the shops” complainers to the “War on Christmas” complainers. They cannot, after all, complain about ubiquitous Christmas decorations when we’re actually within a few frantic weeks of the big day, but they are professional victims who subsist on a diet of manufactured outrage, so they have to come up with something.

The next Seattle Drink 'n' Draw is scheduled for next week, Friday December 12, at our new regular hangout The Old Pequliar. I'm actually going to be out of town for this one, so you'll be left to the tender ministrations of one solo-flying Adam Watson, a strange and twisted creature we found abandoned in a stained shoebox in a gutter in Sao Paolo.

In cautious anticipation of the new Doctor Who Christmas Special approaching, I've been ramping up a lot of old episode watching. Kate is having me rent the Eccleston and Tennant episodes from Netflix so that she can start catching up (She sort of adroitly mentioned that, from what she'd seen, she thinks the Eccleston episodes are better on average than the Tennant ones, about which I'd have to agree. Mind you, I'm bound to ruin the Eccleston finale for her by explaining who all of the guest voices are - "And THAT robot is Davina McCall! And THOSE robots are Trinny and Susannah!

Hey all, so, the last Seattle Drink 'n' Draw was utterly gangbusters, with a lot of folks in attendance and - better yet - a lot of NEW folks showing up for the first time. We also had a record number of jams floating around - so many so that, no joke, I pulled a muscle in my neck from handing around so many sheets of paper. I am older than dirt, folks.

I ain't been posting much lately - lots to do at work. I'll remedy in December.

Meanwhile, Drink 'n' Draw tonight.
