Sketch Sunday (June 14, 2026)

June 14, 2026

It’s time again for my award winning (in my head) series…Sketch Sunday! Wherein I show you the nonsense that has been ricocheting around my skull and I dribble it out in ink form in sketchbooks!

First up…Oh look! They changed the rules for Wall Street nonsense just for a weirdly shaped, drug abusing, racist grifter. Coolcoolcool! And he’s now a trillionaire? Excellent! I hope he understands he has put a target firmly on that unfortunately shaped cybertruck he calls a body from everyone. From other scumbag billionaires to the entire world’s working poor…he is MARKED. Gonna be fun to watch this play out!

“That wasn’t there on Thursday…”

Next up is a slice of my daily routine! I try to walk every morning during the week (and give my legs a little time off on weekends). I have a little group I walk with and we usually see the same people most days doing the same. Getting a little air and exercise, enjoying the day before it gets too unmercifully hot. One of those is a gentleman who…I’m not sure if he’s from here. Most days I think he’s wearing pajama pants which, hey…big fan. Thursday and Friday though…he was wearing a shirt that I do not know if he understands what it says. So I had to scribble him down when I got home.

“Good morning..”

This was a fun one. An art friend who was in the cult we both joined during the pandemic (long fun story. I may tell it here some day. It wasn’t a REAL cult. Calm down.) sent me a message asking if I wanted to participate in an art card swap. I had some art cards that I got free with purchase of other supplies so I said of course! She had set a theme of Greek mythology so I spent WAY too long trying to decide what to do. Finally, I came across an entire section of mythology just about giant feral pigs in ancient Greek society! Apparently they were as much a problem then AS NOW. So I chose the Erymanthian Boar! It was one the Seven Labors of Hercules and I got to draw a piggy! My only issue is I am used to drawing a little larger and these are literally the size of baseball trading cards. Here’s the best of the planning sketches. The others are absolute visual gibberish. I will share the final card sometime soon!

“RAAAH!”

Finally, we started out with a warning for the oligarchy. Let’s end with one, too. I started gathering all the notes and scribbles I’ve done coming up with the sequel to my book The Ghastly Crook Richies (Available HERE) and started fleshing them out a little more! I have a bunch so I won’t use them all but they are fun. Here is famous TV Canadian and Utah land rapist, Kevin O’Leary being devoured alive by fire ants! FUN!

Yummy yummy oligarch bro!

I hope you’ve had a nice and safe weekend. I hope we get to see an amazing light show in DC tonight. (See former post HERE for context.) Have a good week everyone!
