1st Wednesday

After a recent excursion to The James B. Hunt Jr. Library it was suggested by Toddy-J to come back for a evening of #SketchBomb-NC.  To make it even more of a dork-fest it was propose to make it the 1st Wednesday of the month similar to a local event 1st Friday. Plus Toddy-J has to bring desert 🙂 So great setting, good eats, “special” theme night of sketching. Cue to the syrupy theme music, by the way if you have a track send it over.

SPRINGFIELD IS ABOUT TO E•X•P•L•O•D•E

Bartkira 

A project where Ryan Humphrey mix The Simpsons with Akira. Community project initiated/edited by James HarveyThe piece in today’s post is a work in progress I spent the majority of the night just gushing about what to do near the end I finally settle down 🙂 This is taken from the Marvel Epic line 1998 United States publication of Akira, Chapter 3 No. 41. In the near term I will coordinate the right page number for the Bartkira project.
