Gotta get into a routine of doing this… & that. Trouble being, this one (trying to not use the first-person pronoun, which is kind of hard to do in a blog, which is kind of about me by definition. I hate that; all of social media is “Lookit Me! Lookit Me! Lookit Me!”, it’s so assholeish, & that’s what people like, seeing what an asshole somebody else is, I guess so they can then feel superior) hates routine, doesn’t want to be a drone, conditionally responding to the proper stimuli in order to be properly, productively productive, i.e. a good little cog in the capitalist machinery, doing something that makes money so that one can pay somebody for the privilege of continuing to exist on this piece of real estate. So I (shit) try to do all the proper stuff to be aligned, energized, motivated & shit, as in: get plenty of sleep, do some stretches, do some kind of aerobic workout; walk or ride a bike for an hour or so, meditate…

Commissions, gotta do these commissions.

I gotta do this comic, I don’t have time for that shit.

You’re not doing the comic, are you?

Well, no, but I’m workin on it.

Well, do these while yer not doing that. & then do that. Get pumped up, swing some kettleballs, then be productive! Seize the day, be productive! Meditate, center yourself, be productive! Be extroverted, & productive! If you don’t do these drawings these geeky guys, I mean discerning collectors, want you to do, your family will go hungry, you’ll have to get a job as a greeter at WalMart. Live in a cardboard box. This beats digging ditches, they’re literally throwing money at you, what’re you whining about?

I need to do this comic, change the World an shit. Have new stuff so I can go to Europe & everywhere.

Do both; other guys &/or gals do it all the time.

No they don’t. Maybe some do, not many.

Be more productive! There’s all these millennials out there gonna tell you just how to do that. They’re smarter than you are. & more productive.

OK, I’ll try.

“There is no try, only…”

Oh, shut up!

No church. No family. No eggs. No bunnies. No candy. No resurrection.

60 Minutes did a story on Easter Island; no Christianity, no Pope, no inspirational superstition. Good on them.

starboard
port

Finally finished Fergie’s trailer. Nobody knew it wasn’t done. Had to do the rendering, shadows & highlights on all the balloons as well as throw a few more balloons on. & the flying saucers. Oh & look, Cherry showed up for some reason & look, there’s Ellie Dee on the other side!

There’s like a narrative here: those 3 balloons in a row on both sides are, or were all itsa Touchie Subject, first there was that small one, then there was a bigger one that looked just like it, now there is a bigger one than that that doesn’t look at all like the others. The other balloons are those of his friends. That blue & white one with the metal basket on the starboard side is the balloon of the guy who taught Fergie to fly. The 5th Dimension, on the door there, was a little one that was owned &/or flown by several of the guys in this community; it was my son Zerek’s first balloon. I had to explain to them why it was called the 5th Dimension. Most of the rest of them are former & current members of the Viking Clan, known for being crazy & also helping improve Balloon Fiesta park. The Sandias are literally Fergie’s old stomping grounds; he did search & rescue there for years.

Most folks if they’re gonna decorate their trailer, want just a picture of their balloon as big as possible. Fergie had to have all of his friends’ balloons on there & his not too big. That’s how he is.
