Shalomstar Runner

Shabbat shalom, everybody. Let’s praise the name of the Lord and savor this day of rest with our favorite armless terrific athlete. Part of me wanted to make his text bubbles read “בווך אתה ה’ אווהינו מוך העוום” but honestly there’s enough inside baseball going on as it is, without my representing the Shalomstar Runner’s speech impediment via a less-than-widely-used script.

You know I enjoy silly cartooning, but in all seriousness, enjoying the weekly Shabbat services at Wise Temple is a highlight of my week, and I would like to wish you a peaceful Shabbat as the weekend begins.

80s Star Dawn is Poppin’ Off! (feat. MC Pippy Fresh)

Hey. How you been?

It’s been a minute since I dropped new artwork here, and not a New York minute either. We’re talking a Minnesota minute. With AI prompt-jockey accounts pooping out mass-production fan art every three seconds, and would-be tyrants trying to choke out liberty for the marginalized, and commercial juggernauts milking workers and customers alike, and two wars going on, it’s hard to find the impetus to draw things, but I arted today. Dang, that got unexpectedly real!

But the point is, I had today off work, and I drew Dawn and her short friend exuding their biggest Robin Sparkles and Snow energy. I got back on my game: girly fashion with a little tongue-in-cheek goofiness. And it was fun! I enjoyed pushing the pen and tapping the stylus, and despite our problem-wracked world, there are still many things to rejoice about. So sing a song, dance around, put wraparounds and a sick lid on your penguinesque gladiator animal, and get a little silly. Hope yet remains.
