Today, we’re wishing a very happy birthday to Mr. Dizzy Gillespie! Let’s celebrate by listening to his version of George Gershwin’s Summertime from the album, The Real Thing!
It’s always fun listening to musical geniuses reworking well known pieces and making them their own!
Just a quick reminder everybody, my Patreon account is up and running for everyone to enjoy. For the bare minimum price of two dollars a month you get to see all strips and posts a week early. For five dollars you get to see art that is exclusively on Patreon, including concept art, Sunday strips, illustrations, and unique side projects such as my ongoing Mermaids of Herschel Cove! For ten dollars you can have a cameo in a comic strip every three months on average, depending on the story and the queue, as well as sketch commissions (and some pending items I’m still thinking about)
Look forward to seeing you all there!
Here’s wishing a very special one-hundredth birthday to the great Charlie Parker! Let’s celebrate by listening to his version of Vernon Duke‘s April in Paris!

Let’s celebrate, by listening to his take on Fats Waller’s Ain’t Misbehavin from his album, Scatch Plays Fats, with his All-Stars.
And he ain’t neither!
A very Happy Birthday to Mr. Miles Davis! Let’s Celebrate by listening to Venus De Milo!
My reason for me to do this year’s Mermay challenge got canceled due to COVID19. Still, I did complete it and my watercolor muscles are in peak condition. Now the trick is, is to keep at it so I don’t lose my edge again.
For now I’m starting to do color sketches and concept designs starting with this picture of Hilda and Blossom arguing in a scene that will occur sometime in June.
This is done on some really cheap paper, I’ve been trying to use up, that is virtually waterproof and difficult to layer on. Despite this I think it came out pretty well.
