I had a great birthday last week, as our shelter-in-place continues! I’ve been lucky with my day job teaching guitar lessons – the bulk of my students agreed to switch over to remote lessons on Zoom, and I continue to make a living and pay my mortgage and feed my family. I’ve been thankful for that, AND getting a lot of drawing done while at home, even with my family here with me at all times! Here’s a sample of the 39-page (!) Edgar Degas ballerina fight sequence I finished last month:

How many of these images do YOU recognize from museum visits?

Which reminds me, I posted this Brush with Peril – the Degas ballerina fight scene (time lapse video) for YOU kind $7 Patreon Patrons!

This shelter in place and my success with my online day job gave me an idea for the www.youtube.com/DiaryOfAStrugglingComicsArtist channel! I realized a lot of talented artists are home in shelter right now, and since I’ve been spending the last two months on Zoom, I realized this might be an opportunity for us! I made the decision to reach out to some of my best friends, and best friends I hoped to make, and have been scheduling and executing Zoom interviews for our documentary. We’ve got more filmed, and more in the works, but HERE’S a sample of some videos we’ve posted so far, for YOU kind, kind Patreon Patrons this month – and look at the length of these (!!):
