Tolerance
As I sit and enjoy a nice red (any red will do) I’m overhearing a conversation. The table also regulars and today the debate has something to do with katsup or no katsup. In all honesty, that’s all I know…. But it reminds me of a debate long had between my Mom and Daddio. My Mom was a pretty good cook. Coming from the boy who ate nothing but peanut butter and jelly sandwiches till I was 11, that’s saying something. Anyway she made her homemade stew. Beef, vegetables and all that. Nothing out of a can. All hand cut and seasoned to perfection. Cooked on the stove for hours.…

Just a sketch
Sometimes I try without edges, and just see what happens. Most fail horribly… this fails a bit less than horribly. So I’m posting it. Crazy methods of mine, and I don’t want to make you watch me make this, but starts out many colors in FreshPaint, then export and import as black and white, then tweak… refined, but messy. The more I do this, the more I hate ears, and noses, and lips, and chins, and eyes. Yeah, I hate it. Bonus point question, who is the subject?

Who am I?
It’s never been a secret to me. I am adopted. I have two sisters and I am the youngest. The oldest, Paige, is adopted also. Pam the middle child was a happy accident of Mom getting pregnant. Nothing wrong with either Mom or Dad… just oil and vinegar in terms of reproductive genes. Well no one is ever 100% right. But three was the perfect number so my parents made it known that they would love a son. One call in November1969 telling them come pick up their son. I’m sure it’s way more complicated than that, but… That’s truly how I always want it to be. My Daddio tells…

A few unrelated photographs
For whatever reason, cause there is none… Here’s some random photographs.

Dads, sons, and guns
Never was much of a gun guy. And neither was my Daddio. I know he had a few guns and growing up was able to see and know about all of them. He had a 22 revolver with a long barrel. Shot it a few times mainly at wood peckers that wanted to nest in our house. Probably knocked off more branches than woodpeckers. Just a kid knowing what a gun was and what it could do. He also had a snub nosed 38 revolver. Kept it on the top shelf back corner of his closet shelf. Yup I knew where it was. It was never loaded. The only time…

Golda Meir
Someone mentioned her in a meeting…. It’s Woman’s History Month so I found a pic and drew her.

Just why?
Scott!???! Why the fuck are you photographing a men’s room? Just because…. sometimes it’s not about the content, it’s about the edits. Weirdly, I had an idea, and yes…. this is what I settled on. Lots to say perhaps, or very little. Usually, the less you say in the men’s room is better. Get in, get out. Most guys know this… most women don’t. Some unsaid rule you learn. Does anyone remember the full-length urinals? Or the troughs? I know, sometimes I am weird. So be it.

More Dad Pics
I've been going through more pictures taken by my Daddio... Also, I am trying to figure out some new galley options. Too many, too confusing, and i kinda hate WordPress. Kinda, anyway. I only take credit for the edits.

I do Doodles
I’m doodling again. Still suck, but I do it anyway. Still figuring out my new laptop, so that is an explanation. Never an excuse. Anyway… #noTalentHack

Mudge boy, Line man, and UGH
A few weeks ago, I gave up my old Microsoft Surface for a new Microsoft Surface Laptop. It was working fine, but reasons… needed new and shiny, just wanted to, and just wanted it. So I just did it. With that came all the other things, my pen from Bamboo was OKAY, but wasn’t perfect… had to get the Slim Pen 2. It really works quite well. I like to play artist but have not been motivated much of the pandemic crazy time. Forcing myself back in cause it clears the mind. Today I needed it. Head crud the last two days (not covid) has kept me at home. Have…
