Sketch Sunday
February 8, 2026
I am REALLY enjoying the ink wash sketching and can’t wait to go out and do some in my travel sketch book. (When it’s a wee bit warmer.) Until then, here’s some stuff I did while planning other stuff and these first ones…while reading news stories. First up…my original idea upon hearing the moldy turtle had been hospitalized…
Next…saw a report that alleged Epstein File participant and “moral crusader” Nancy Mace had staffers upvote her on things like Reddit as one of the “most beautiful congress people”. I know it’s not clever…but I wanted to reinforce how we view her and her “beautiful” rhetoric of hurting trans people and immigrants…
And finally just a couple of planning pages for my Chuck E/Noid crossover event from last Wednesday.
And when I’d closed in on the final…
And that’s all for this week. I hope you’re enjoying these peeks into the process-ing-ness. Be safe this week. Watch out for yourselves and your neighbors. Keep up pressure however you can. Share posts. March if you can. Call your representatives. This regime will buckle and fall.

You got a very solid likeness on this McConnell! Nice work.
I missed that news about Mace, but did see her explanations about how she can’t drink medically despite a lot of evidence to the contrary. Including a video where she transferred a shot from her mouth to another person who, in turn, did the same to someone else…which seems entirely pointless and gross.
