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.

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.

Cherry History

Oh, look, I did a sketchcard of Cherry as Ada Lovelace, daughter of Lord Byron, rockstar poet. She was really good at maths, the opposite of poetry, & worked with Charles Babbage, who was trying to build what he called a Difference Engine, which was going to be a mechanical analog computer. Ada figured out to program such a thing with punchcards, like were being used on Jacquard looms. So she invented computer programming before there were computers. Then she did a lot of drugs, gambled away all her money, & died of ovarian cancer in her early 30s.

This is part of a series I’m working on of Cherry as significant women throughout history; real, fictional & mythical.
