I finally gave up on that landscape drawing I’ve been working on for a while now and participated in @selenada.art ‘s dtiys challenge with my own take on the character on the second page.
Also my first time using glaze. It was a little wonky so I had to fix some details in post.
After Rowley announces that his older (half-)sister, who lives quite far away and has never met the Heffleys, is going to visit him over the break Susan invites his family over for dinner. Her not being what Rodrick expects, he starts crushing, which results in him trying to impress her - failing horribly.

Just when I’d spiraled downward far enough that I thought everything in my life was going to stay awful forever— I received the most beautiful, thoughtful, amazing fic written as a special gift to cheer me up.
It’s hard to describe the sense of comfort and hope that both the story itself and being given it as a surprise brought to me; but I’m now filled with joy and light in this difficult time and I’m ready to face another day.
Dear Diary July 31st 1987,
This place sucks. There is no TV. No TV means no MTV. Santa Carla sucks so far. And there is a murder chamber that reminds me of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Grandpa says it is for work, but I think he might secretly be a serial killer — for animals. He better not touch Nanook.
Dear Diary Aug 5th 1987,
Never mind, grandpa was right. Having no TV sucks but the worse thing about Santa Carla is all the damn vampires. Also, I guess, I’m now a vampire hunter? I’m just a kid but I feel like I’m thirty.

Songs I relate so much to it makes me sick and why (Part 2)
Day Job - Emerson Brophy
This applies less to work and more for school to me, but I swear this song got me through my first few months at my new school. I felt bad about what school was turning me into, and still do. I feel like it pulled me away from myself. I was staring at screens everyday, pretending like all this work I was so obsessed with making good grades on would matter at some point.
Thursday, I went to see Leya and stayed for Slumberland, who collaborated with Sainkho Namtchylak (a voice artist). Both performances were excellent.
Leya’s music worked well in the small venue and between tracks they talked a little. When Adam mentioned the harp was new, someone in the crowd noticed the price tag and we all had a laugh. The atmosphere was good.
After the show, I got to talk to both Marilu and Afam for a bit. Oddly enough they both thought I looked familiar, which I reasoned were the dead eyes of seeing too many bad shows (former music journalist ‘problem’). Combined random banter with actual information as one does.
Also talked to the promoter for a moment to ask how he got Leya, to which he explained he knew Claire Rousay and so got the label on board... it's a small world.
Slumberland is the project of Jochem Baelus, who makes his own sonic contraptions. He had taken a few on stages with them and they were great. Meanwhile Namtchylak deployed a sound range with a clarity not many could mimic. I had thought of leaving early, but I’m glad I stayed to witness this.
Friday, I went to see Avalon Emerson & the Charm. I’m not sure what I expected, maybe more hardware? Anyway the stage was pretty empty, Avalon on vocals and the Charm both wielding guitars or 1 on electric cello. With in the back, 4 distorted mirrors. In-between songs
Overall, it was a fine performance, but I think I could have missed it? Anyway, it got me into Amsterdam again and I walked around for a bit to think about some writing ideas. (Clearly, not every performance will be the best thing ever, this was a passing grade.)
One thing all these artists had in common? No encore, that was good. The ‘always encore’-meta got old pretty fast.
