Smoking is a filthy habit!
Lately, The Teenage Beast has been gathering dust as I have been enthralled by my Frankensteinian mania for resurrecting dead and near dead computers. As much as I would like to move into a log cabin and spend my days drawing by candlelight, computers are a reality of this era. I am trying to future proof my digital world with an upgrade here or a Linux installation there without being on the treadmill of buying new every few years.
Who has the money?
But the monsters beckon.
As I chase down the perfect computer rig, I have been dragging myself back to my sketchbooks. I am trying to rediscover the thread of the story which I’ve seemed to have lost among the processors and hard drives.
I have a few components that are on order, and once they are dispensed with, I am hoping that my computers return to being boring but dependable. I will return to the drawing board with gusto!




The blue undertones give it an interesting look… Blue eyes? Really?
I start off with a non-repro blue pencil which used to be “non-reproducible” in the good old analog days. Generally I would erase this, but I didn’t bother.
