November started strong with quite a bit of drawing, then petered out a bit toward the end of the month. I drew Kei and Yuri from Dirty Pair for some reason. Quite proud of that one. I tried my hand at drawing a character with white hair looking up and to the left, which was the style at the time. I drew Natasha a bunch. I drew Merry and Jess from Merry Hell as Peridot and Lapis from the Steven Universe episode when Peridot was most egregiously tiny. Typical November stuff. My situation has grown somewhat more tenuous in the last couple weeks so looking forward I'm not sure if I will deliver much in December. This is fairly typical for me, though, since I do most of my drawing at work and they typically close down the last two weeks of the month for the holidays. I guess we'll see!

Well, I can't say that October went well for me. I retreated to familiar ground and regrouped a bit, but also I have to admit it shook me loose a bit, there was catharsis as well. I'm going to draw more. I'm going to write more. I'm going to hang out with friends more. Life is for the living, and I need to live it while I still have a liver.

Did you remember? Did you remember the 21st night of September? Did you remember to wake up when September ended? September is a month for remembering many things.

One year ago, Cohost shut down. In the wake of this highly unsurprising development I was compelled to bring back The Encyclopedia of Pointless. This year, I was yeeted off Tumblr merely for posting hundreds of lewd anime images. Well, joke's on them, now I have my own website for posting lewd anime images. I shan't share it here, but ask and you shall receive.

Speaking of asking and receiving, I asked myself if I was up to drawing anything in the month of September and I received the following images from myself. It's not much, but any art is better than no art in these dark days.

August happened recently, or so I am led to believe. Weird how time seems to progress in a linear fashion even when all this other stuff is also happening.

Art also happens despite everything else going on, and that art, such as it is, has been collected here. You may notice Lyn among the artworks on display within, she is a character owned by the lovely Alex who can be found Here, Here, and presumably, Colorado. Check them out, they're really nice!

In the month of April I spent a significant amount of time not making art, but rather making progress on my other website, The Encyclopedia of Pointless. A long time ago some weird friends and I made an equally weird interactive story called Choose Your Own Error Adventure and now that story has been once again made available to the public. I figured out how to import from the old MySQL database I had saved to the wiki engine the Encyclopedia runs on, and completed an initial editing pass to make sure links worked and tag the many, many entries that need to be rewritten. With any luck I will be able to enjoy doing the rest of the rewrites and making it a weirder and harder to navigate dreamscape will take approximately the rest of my natural life.

Lest you think I am neglecting Dimestore Novel, well, I suppose I am a bit. As of this writing the comic going up May 2 is the last one I have in my queue. With any luck I will be able to squeeze at least one more out before the Friday after that. One benefit of updating once a week is it's not a terrible strain on my time, so if I find myself in the right situation I will hopefully be able to knock something out, even if it means abandoning some of the more complicated panels that I had planned. Anyway, what I meant to say in this paragraph is there is Dimestore Novel content in The Encyclopedia of Pointless if you know where to look. I've started filling in some lore details over there, not to mention Johnny Wallbank who will shortly become an important part of both sites.

Now finally, I have some images to share with you that I drew in the month of April 2025. These include a fair number of cute Natashas, a couple of Evangelines, and yet another attempt at a design for Johnny Wallbank. Please don't let me forget to draw the error hunting Adventurer and Bozo Nineteen in the future. I want to add more fun illustrations to key pages in Choose Your Own Error Adventure.

April fools! My clever jape this year is to provide the artwork I produced last month in exactly the same manner as I have for the past few years (The evidence is here! Prove me wrong!)

Obviously, I have been in the throes of both attempting to carry on this long-awaited comic story while dealing with the incredibly depressing situation the world has presented to me. Thanks to my manic production in the month of January and the glacier pace I chose to release new comics we still have some buffer to work with. That said, if I don't light my butt on fire this month that buffer will melt to nothing in no time.

This month you get a couple of images of a person I would describe as "young Natasha" on account of that's who it is. Perhaps someday you will get to learn more about this Natasha and what makes that time in her life important. In addition to Natasha we also have some Natasha of a classic vintage and a mysterious young man who is DEFINTELY NOT Shaggy from Scooby Doo.
