I've been going through my old sketchbooks looking at autobio comics I drew (but have never posted anywhere!), and it turns out the last one I drew was in July 2018, where I roasted myself so hard I didn't ever draw another one*. Coincidentally, said roasting was about me not liking any Manics stuff past Everything Must Go.
Which is now obviously untrue, so maybe it's time for a follow up?
But also I did draw a not-exactly autobio comic in my sketchbook the other day, which I think is what I prompted this in the first place. But also because I am fully obsessed with Pizza Tower, and a part of that is the art style, as it is very cartoony, and I love it.
Anyway, I think the tl;dr version here is that maybe I might start drawing things again that are not patterns?? (or lettering; I've been doing a fair bit of that lately, too).
I also finished up using my Pink Pig sketchbook that I bought at Xmas, and I think I only mentioned it in passing back when I ordered it. It was an 8x8 inch sketchbook with a turquoise cover, and I really liked using it! The paper was 150GSM cartridge, and it was very smooth, which I don't mind, but I know that bothers some people. I found it very pleasant to draw on, although with any inks it seemed very "thirsty", for lack of a better word - the Sharpies I used on it dried patchily (although also: Sharpies. Not really intended for making art with!), and it just seemed to suck up other ink very rapidly. But it's probably not really intended for wetter media, being only cartridge paper, and not mixed media paper, but that's my only really gripe with it.
And now I am using an A5 book that I made out of printer paper and ooooh boy the difference is...extremely apparent, is what it is. But I'm mostly going to use this book for mucking about with felt tips, so I'm not that bothered that the paper isn't great, tbh. (And I'm not really a snob about paper, but I do see/feel the difference here).

In other news, I have spent most of the last two weeks having either migraines or headaches, and there was only one day where that didn't happen. I think it is was a combo of the weather (the air pressure has been quite low recently) and stress (I've temporarily been given more responsibility than I want at work, and I don't like it).
They are starting to ease off somewhat, but ugh this sucks.
