A STORM IS BREWIN'... AN INKTOBER STORM!!!

Welcome to June CRAZIES!!!  Hope springs eternal here at the CRAZYVERSE, and for good reason: Things are steadily improving!  I am fully vaccinated and even got to go to to Knott's Berry Farm recently and hot damn did it feel good!  The rides, the food, the atmosphere...  It was all great!  And best of all, rules were being followed!  I'm cautiously optimistic that things will be relatively normal again by year's end.  Hell, even Long Beach Comic Con is scheduled for September!  It ain't SDCC, but I'll take it!

Speaking of SDCC, you've probably noticed no Comic Con photo starting the blog off today.  As mentioned last week, there will be no Comic Con again this summer.  Although things are rapidly improving here in California, back in March, there was still no telling what direction things would go in once vaccines really took effect.  In hindsight, maybe they should've been more patient.  At the same time, things could've just as easily gone downhill again.  Safety's gotta take top priority in the end, so it was the right call to make on cancelling it again this summer.  But, they are planning a show in San Diego for November and WonderCon is scheduled for early April!  We will get there again folks, I know it!  But for now, we just gotta be patient for a little while longer.  In the meant time, I got some art to show!  I know, it's not con pics, but they are of comic characters at least!  Enjoy...

This is Storm.  He's a cat, and a particularly mischievous cat at that!  This kitty happens to be Eline Wagemaker's cat that she features regularly in her comics and art!  Eline's a dear friend from the Netherlands and a fantastic artist who loves cats and snails, so it wasn't hard for us to become fast friends.  She's been taking a break from social media lately, a painfully long break to be honest.  But hopefully Eline will be back soon with plenty of new art and comics featuring Storm and Snarty!  In 2016, I took part in Inktober for the first time and decided to do fan art for the whole month.  For those not in the know, Inktober takes place in October and the basic premise is to draw something everyday.  Themes are available, but I always try to do my own thing.  There are other drawing collectives that month too, but Inktober's easier on hashtags.

That's all for this first week of June!  We'll be back in seven days with some more pen and ink fun from the world of CRAZY!!!  In the meantime, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

GET A SLICE OF ELINE'S COMIC CAKE!!!

HUMP DAY IS HERE!!!  And curse Geico for making that a thing!  YOU RAT BASTARDS!!!  It's almost as bad as those stupid cavemen ads!  Thank goodness Eline W. is here to quell the anger that insurance commercials can stir up!  Enjoy...

What's that saying about curiosity and cats?  Turns out it applies to kids too.  At least its a tasty lesson to learn!  Wonder how long Mindy was hiding out in there anyway?

Dutch cartoonist Eline W. is new pal I met on Twitter a few months ago.  Her artwork is insanely cute and a whole lotta fun to look at.  The bright colors are like literal eye candy and it always makes my day to see her most recent Daily Doodle drawings.  Unlike me, she can actually get hers fully inked and colored the day she makes them, as opposed to my lazy butt finishing them up a year later!  To see more of Eline's wonderful work, check out her site here!  Thanks again Eline!  The cake was delicious!

Well, halfway through the week now, but it ain't over yet!  Dave Craig is coming tomorrow with a very revealing look at the process of change!  Until then, take it easy and I'll see y'all on Thursday!
