Art Block. When I ran out of ideas. Inkbeard post #23 Seven Days. Otherwise known as a week. This week I worked on the rough draft for the short story, finishing a few pages. I find that I can only do a couple before my brain begins to slow down and I need to quit. Read more

Macabre. To be or not to be? Inkbeard post #22 Week-ness A week happened. In some ways, it was special, in others, not so much. This is the essence of a week, it’s “week-ness”, how every week is somehow different and the same. Or not. I’m just a guy with a keyboard. At any rate, Read more

Monkey Business No longer the uncle’s problem. Inkbeard post #21 The Inspiration This week I watched a couple episodes of My Hero Academia, one of the few anime shows I enjoy. The sights and sounds of over-powered teenagers got the creative juices roiling once again, and I quickly grabbed a sketchbook to jot down some Read more

Change. It’s a-comin. Inkbeard post #20 This Week This week I updated the website a little: there is now a Gallery page, and the contact page has been filled out and polished. I checked the newsletter form, and it seems to be working, so hopefully no more hiccups will arise. Other than that, it has Read more

Swampy. What are you doing in my marsh? Inkbeard post #18 This Week This week was the culmination of a few things. First was the first session a D&D group which I DM, after weeks of prepping and world building. Second (and less important) the Super Bowl also went down. As I write this it’s Read more

Prospects The future of Inkbeard. Inkbeard post #17 This Week This week I was able to work more of the thumbnails, transferring the first rough draft onto larger paper to get a better feel for the layout. I probably should have waited until I had finished the first draft, but I was close anyways and Read more

Monkey’s Uncle. Or ape’s, really. Inkbeard post #16 Shake Things Up. This week I didn’t draw anything new. Well, I did, but it was either thumbnails for the comic or doodles during Sunday morning ABF. Instead, I carved up a coconut. Yep, bet you didn’t expect that coming, did you? A few days ago I Read more

Facelift. When the producer gets bored. Inkbeard post #15 Purple Is a color. After I had finished the last post, I decided I was bored with the sophisticated design of my website, so I performed a little in-house website surgery. This included changing the theme from black and ochre to black and neo-purple. I also Read more

Breath (in the Air) Don’t be afraid to care. Inkbeard post #14 Listening Music. As I write this, I listen to the words of Pink Floyd, and everything’s cool as a Minnesotan lake. This week was another week, full of life. I received a haircut, enjoyed the company of friends, and celebrated the new year. Read more
