Photo: “Inside the Crater at Haleakalā”. Maui, Hawaii. Photograph taken by kawaiidaigakusei. (January 2024)
I reached the crater of the volcano after taking the winding road to the peak. My single sweater was not enough protection to go against the elements and I longed for the second sweater I left ...

Welcome to the first interview of the Creator Interviews! Today, we're asking the awesome Inky Moondrop questions about her, her DD award winning comics, her art, and her creative process.
I'm not using the royal ‘we’ by the way. While some questions come from me, most are from ...

Or TuneinRadio - https://tunein.com/podcasts/Books–Literature/Drunkduck-Quackcast-p1150194/
Art VS the artist! Can you infer something about the creator from their creation? Do you think the art is an accurate reflection of the artist?
For THIS Quackcast I wanted to tackle the idea of whether ...
The Comedy Villain

A fun type of character is the Comedy Villain. This is not a comic relief character in a more serious story; this is the Villain in a Comedic story or series. Actually, they MIGHT be the funniest character - but we'll get to that in a bit.
The legendary comedy ...

Book of Desolation
This is not actually a comic but more of a sourcebook. I've always loved source books, ever since I got the starwars sourcebook way back before the prequals. It's great to see worlds get expanded outside of the original movie, comic, book , whatever. This one ...
Three Books
Banes at 12:00AM, Dec. 21, 2023
I've only read three books in my life.
Okay, that's not true - over the years I've read nearly a dozen.
But the first art-instruction book I used (at least, the earliest one I can remember) was this book

Belief is a mirror
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Dec. 9, 2023
Last week I had the fortune of stumbling across Netflix's latest animated series, Blue Eye Samurai. I didn't expect much, but I was so bowled over by the sheer excellence of this show that I ended up binging the entire first season overnight. Like all shows, it's ...
A Wayback Playback
Banes at 12:00AM, Dec. 7, 2023
I have a handful of hobbies that mean a lot to me - from an early age, reading, and music (drums at first), and drawing were all important pastimes.
The other day I found an old workbook dated from when I was eight years old. It was an A to Z ...
