Spleck: Creyonah Special #11

Now, I post this entry to my blog, as I noted that the date portion was colour pencilled in and the rest of the nut's parts were not, I had to retake the photos because it was going to bother me.

And it's not like I don't have the time, as it's just now the bottom of the hour and I have all the time that I need to write 1470 words, which Is all I need to meet my goal of getting back on the second good peaking track.

Would it surprise you to know that I like both sides of today's Spleck Creyonah Special?

No, I'm sure that it doesn't.

But why shouldn't I like what I have drawn? Especially when I am continually, improving?

Or is it continuously?

They do have different meanings that I haven't locked into my memory.

Yes, I could just look it up, but I'm fine with leaving the conts in as is.

Anyway, I also like both drawings today because they are both good.

Not famously good or anything, but pretty damn good for me.

Certainly good enough to be sold.

So if you agree, feel free to ask how to buy the drawing that you like.

All of the Specials are available, but several of the others are not as they've already found their forever homes.

At least as forever long as a Petrie drawing can expect to last.

Wow, three hundred years and counting?

I just got an e-mail from from the future and I've been informed that I will go down in history as one of the finest in the category of people who draw.

We're not good enough to be called artists, but we are good to call ourselves what we are, people who draw.

And yes, there will eventually be a category for robots who draw, but that category won't be officially ratified until 2047.

For the record, the robot artists, because, duh, they will be programmed, will have their fans. But fans of art will always prefer the more natural and human art of humans.

Including this one!

I will continue to get better over the decades and I do mean decades because while I haven't been a man who draws for long, not quite two years, I'm only 48 and fingers crossed, I can do this for another 48 years, so long as Alzheimers doesn't claim my mind, or some other disease or god know what other reason, in which case, I'll have been drawing decent peoples for twenty years.

Yeah, it could take me that long to find my way to decent, or decent enough to be drawing people.

Though that could be on the optimistic side.

Only time will tell. 

Oh, you noticed that no pencils were represented in this drawing.

This just in, even with much of the snow gone, it's cold and windy enough outside that standing outside, without a jacket is not something that I want to be doing for long, even for the catching of the feels that I can catch, which I've put to use in the pursuit of the Millioncy in the past.

But brrr, it's too cold for that.

So I will have to generate the fuel internally, without the help of the feel in the air because that's what I do when I am at home in the city.

And I have had my share of great good writing days at home. More obviously since I've done most of my writing there.

Even the majority of my third good peak days. And the two best day that I had this year. first the 8768 word day of September 30th and the 10,318 word day of October 4th.

Not that you asked.

I'm rightly proud of my accomplishments this year and will go on and on about them at the drop of a hat, even if I have to drop it myself.

I do not know what the beneath those eyes looks like, but it's probably something you don't want to deal with.

Maybe it's a frogadile, which is hella scary, even though it's smaller than a crocodile, it's plenty big and dangerous enough to pose a threat to us.

Would you want to deal with the bite force of an Amphiditile that can jump thirty feet and climb trees?

I know I wouldn't.

And someone should draw the frogadile.

But not me, because I'm just a man who draws, this needs an artist's touch.

Maybe once the subscriptions and corporate sponsorships begin to roll in, I'll be able to afford one.

Though the drawing of a frogadile is not uppermost on the list of things that I would want an artist to draw.

With money I'd make with an actual comic strip with characters that looked the same.

Maybe it would even be a super's comic strip.

Yeah, that'd be cool.

And that is how Kid October would wend its way into the public space.

First it is space and then it is consciousness.

With any luck and good stories and art.

Of course, Kid October would need an actual look and feel than the one that I gave him the other day when he came to first life.

The life of a not very good drawing that rests stiffly on the page. Though I did like the legs.

But for the October Kid to be whatever he could, he'd need to be in the care of an artist and not just a man who draws, though I'll give him some additional efforts in the months to come.

Though he's not a particular priority because I have no idea what kind of hero he would be.

However, you can be sure I will let you know what I've figured out when I have.

And this is where I take my leave of you.

Be well.
