What!??? Are you insane? I have set free 100 cats worldwide. Not on sale, but free! My ebook 100 cats on iTunes Bookstore is free worldwide. Except in America, Land of the Free where the .99 tariff continues, because the country is insane. 100 cats an animal art eBook with more

A fairly restrained, maybe tentative use of a custom brush in Procreate. If you use the app, you can find that drip shape. Watercolour splotches are fun An unrestrained use of that drippy chain brush Working another brush where speed and light pressure produce big juicy blotches.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/mv5FYNM46BRJyA4E9 Google AI seems to have done a pretty fair job on curating and editing these photos. I think I may have had a hand in some filters on iPad, but there is a consistent bright and saturated feel I think I didn’t have much to do with. Nice set

I felt like it was more a bit of incoherent rambling. 🙂 But I would like to emphasize that LondOntLife is intended as an outlet for local editorial cartoons, by anybody, because Merle Tingley’s presence and inspiration can’t be thrown away.

Stumbled on my lost Samupress Tumblr at Wayback Machine https://web.archive.org/web/20160325060311/http://dougsamu.tumblr.com/ Just an ordinary Tumblr, really. Typically the reposts and likes are interesting though.

These goofy drawings seem to come out of fooling about with some new tool in some new app. Test the tool, see what kind of marks it makes, scribble something else on the page and just follow along. I don’t direct them at all. After a while I just trace
