Free Wordle Scratchpad Template
Wordle still continues to be a daily dose of normal in a weird time. I don't try to play competitively with Wordle, meaning I just do it for fun and not obsess about how many rows it takes. However, when I find myself on row 4 and I'm still not really getting anywhere I break out a sheet of paper r or post-it notes and quickly draw a series of 5 underlines.

Carl Beam (Updated)
Almost 20 years ago in 2006, when I was at art school, I was looking into photocopy techniques in art and printmaking and came across the work of Carl Beam. I quickly fell in love with his process and work. Now in 2023 I am living in Canada and was invited to First Nations University for an outreach event. We were kindly offered lunch as part of the event. After grabbing a plate, I sat down at a table and an artwork on the wall next to me caught my eye. My head whipped around as I realised it was a Carl Beam Original! The I turn my head more and there are three more originals.
i find this amusing and yet desperately sad at the same time

Sums up the creative life's challenges perfectly.
ReplyDeleteLove it. Great work.
ReplyDeleteKylee: then my work is done. I was worried it was going to be too dark, but a subsequent comic should lighten the mood!
ReplyDeleteArkay: Thanks!
John: I've been accused of ripping you off when I've used blue colouring like this before! I find the blues and greens work well as they are cool colours and recede
This is a masterful piece of work. You just summed up my life in ten panels... Try to take some comfort in the fact that this is how many others live, too.
ReplyDeleteMatt: Thanks Matt! I almost talked my self out of writing this thinking it was a tad depressing, but I continued in the hope other would relate and it would be a common experience
ReplyDeleteIt is great Anthony. A lot of people can relate to it.... and in the context of a greater story arc (your ongoing life in your ongoing comics) it will be a very important documentation of this time. I love it - 'specially your mind surging with ideas.
ReplyDeleteYou can't be ripping me off. I certainly didn't invent it. You should ignore whoever said that.
ReplyDeleteAnthony, this comic stopped me in my Google Reader-reading tracks. Great work.
ReplyDeletereally nice colors! it goes so well with the comic. and i have the same problems sometimes, but i chose to go without sleep to finish. not the best option i'm sure.
