Iron Bark, a 35-foot Wylo II. This boat and its owners spent winters frozen into the ice in both the Arctic and Antarctic.

Still not able to do the entire inking process on paper....all the art was hand drawn, but the frame borders, speech bubbles and text was added on the computer.
Want to spend less time editing digitally, as even software like Krita take up quite a bit of processing power. Next page I'll try and plan better, as to require fewer digital adjustments.

Donsol box art WIP.

Favourite way to eat oatmeal: I add ground black sesame seeds and buckwheat groats, left-over from the evening tea of the previous night. Delicious.

"A Magnus rotor used to propel a ship is called a rotor sail and is mounted with its axis vertical. When the wind blows from the side, the Magnus effect creates a forward thrust."

The Uni-Cat Flensburg, a rotor-driven catamaran.

In the last week, a pair of swallows has been actively tossing mud at the marina bathroom wall, trying to pile it on to make a nest. The mud wouldn't adhere to it. They quickly abandoned the idea, leaving a lovely mud stain on both the wall and floor.
Such entertainment. They keep chasing each other around the harbour, manoeuvring around masts and dock pilings.

Ah, I love birds :>
