Not James Kochalka

After reading some online diary comics I figured I’d start doing quicky short comics about things going on in my day. I knocked one off at Games Club, then decided not to run it — too quick-and-dirty. Maybe I’m hung up on the quality thing. So instead you get the usual sketches done on trains. I was using my Splash brush pen, which I’ve decided takes too long to dry to use on the train. I must have waited four or five stations for the ink to dry so I could close my sketchbook. I wound up pulling out my super-fine Pigma Micron to do a detail shot of the woman’s eye while waiting for her head to dry.

At GC I played, um, Nexus (which I won), and Carcassonne: Hunters and Gatherers (a tightly competitive game in which I came second), and a little Set (did better than I usually do, which isn’t saying much). It was a sparsely attended meeting, due perhaps to a local convention this weekend (which I won’t be attending).

NYC Suspects

Presenting, for your convenience, a new LiveJournal community: nycsuspects, for people in the vicinity of NYC to organize get-togethers, inform each other of local events, arrange lunch dates, and so on.

If you don’t know how LJ communities work, check out the Community FAQ.

I’ve set it up so that any LJ user can join, but only people who’ve joined (members) can post. I think I’ve set it up so anyone can comment.

You can also watch the community, by adding it to your Friends list. This isn’t the same as joining; it doesn’t give you posting privileges. If I remember correctly, when you join, there’s a checkbox asking if you also want to watch.
