Tested Platinum carbon black ink for waterproofness in fountain pen. Works well enough!

Postage stamp hoarding...the Canadian animals are so cute ☀

Started #journaling again...I mainly write but today I tried watercolour in the journal to see how it would turn out. No bleed through...!!!

(It’s Midori MD paper from a regular A5 slim size Traveler’s Notebook blank insert)

Finally sat down and built the GaoGaiGar SD Cross Silhouette figure.

The bgs from the photo shoot (put the figure in front of my monitor) are from:

Nobrow was under fire for poaching and paying new grad bad rates, but I can't seem to find the threads anymore...

I documented the cross structure binding "linked" #bookbinding method I used for #HWAcomic with a lot of WIP photo instructions

https://dirchansky.com/freetalk/cross-structure-binding-linked

I learned this very recently so still lots of trial and error. You can definitely scale the project up/down for #zine, sketchbook, leather notebook, etc. The versatility of the binding approach allows you to play around to your preference, as long as you understand the logic behind it.

This took all day but I was able to make 7 more #HWAcomic 💪 Hope ppl enjoy the DIY scraggly wabisabi-ness ☺️

Simultaneously listened to podcasts docs about systemic racism, supreme court laws that protect cops, sad octopus mom, and more...

bookmaking and listening to

One month later my local store finally got the book binding thread I needed 🤓 now to transform this stack of #HWAcomic

More ways to find and support BIPOC creatives 🔥
