Recently it was the one year anniversary of me launching this website. Things looked kind of different then, I didn’t really have a set format for cartoon posts. But I decided I would launch the site with what I had at the time rather than waiting until it was perfect or anything. My first post was just a selection of some of my favourite cartoons I had drawn over the previous year or so. I didn’t have a title for these so I just called it A Little Sampler of Some Favourites and included some of my drawings.

For a while I was doing two little posts a month but it wasn’t something I could really do consistently. And it was hard to make a proper schedule for posts because of other commitments. I was very conscious that I didn’t want to post content for the sake of content. I know that’s what so much of the internet revolves around these days. Just sending out posts on different platforms for the sake of putting something out there. And I know it’s a part of building a following. But while that may be ok for social media, for my own website I’d rather actually post purposefully.

So 8 became the magic number, I started doing monthly posts on the 8th. That’s working for me and helps give me focus while allowing me enough time to be creative too.

Over the past year I’ve put plenty of my art on the site. You can browse my paintings and some drawings and read a bit about them. I like sharing my art.

Speaking of art, I’ll have some news soon about something exciting that’s art related. I’m waiting until it’s been properly announced before I can say myself publicly. But I’ll mention it here and in my next sampler.

Last month it was my birthday. I have a running joke where I map out the next year as if it’s a season of a sitcom or a dramedy. So here’s what I have for season 33:

In the last Sampler I put in a contact form. I talk about my cartoons with people I know in the real world, but I’m always interested to know who else views my work taht I don’t know. So if you lke any of my cartoons or anything in this post resonates with you let me know. Art is all about expression and connection, and I want to know what my art says to you.

In this sampler we have therapy, re-runs, art movements, bringing up words you just learned, and the Almighty Creator.

At what point does the art become a parody itself?

It’s a really good word to use so it’s worth hearing him out

All signs point to the incomprehensible vastness of the multiverse

It’s time to settle

Social burnout lends itself to resorting to a best of episode

The regular therapist couldn’t make it but his dog is qualified to give advice

If you enjoyed this cartoon sampler and want to leave me a tip you can give as little as €2 on Ko-fi.

That’s the price of an espresso in a nice Italian café! You want Bruce to have an espresso from a nice Italian café right?
