One Woke Dude

Here’s a Republican, not new to this illustroblog, I’d like to have a beer with even though he’s done his share of flippin’ and floppin’. He’s put the bullshit aside for a while.

My friend’s grandson

His name is Sean Reeser. He plays sax; and, he plays it well.
I drew him on my iPad using an Apple Pencil in the Sketch Club app with a final tweak or two in iColorama.
Check him out below playing with @ZackGrooves and Everything Yes, Live at Memphis Drum Shop.

Comfest 2023

Comfest, aka The Community Festival in Columbus, Ohio is, among other things, a three-day, annual celebration of irreversible identity change individually and collectively; and, Comfest 2023 is the 51st celebration of this irreversibility. It’s held each year in Goodale Park, and it comes together by virtue of countless community volunteers and a core group of tireless, creative, and generous organizers. As is written, ‘The festival bills itself as “The Party with a Purpose”.’
