I deal with my stressors through art & humor. For example in February of '20, I received a nursing award: [image] I also received a statue: [image] A month later, I got fired. I carved this statue to commemorate the event: [image]

I absolutely love you guys and gals! This is right up my alley, having worked over 25 years in mental health nursing, having to deal with some moderately severe depression when I was in my 30's, and being an artist! Art has been my anti-anxiety, my analgesic, and my bliss! Without art, I would h…

Wow. As the impressed Inigo Montoya asked the Man in Black, "Who are you?"

I spend the majority of my internet time on nurseswebsite primarily because nursing was my passion for nearly 40 years, but also because I have had virtual friends there for over a decade and Ican submit my nursing oriented art there. Yesterday, I started a thread titled Nursing Superheros and ask…

I have noted many of your images in my short time on this forum, nathanKmcwilliams. You may have noticed that I responded to many, exhausting my Like quotient for a day. I am very attracted to your works, especially the black & white images. Partially for their own aesthetics, partially because I …

Well dantecitesin, let's just say that I am impressed. The scope of your art and your writings exceeds your earthly years. Although I am not into reading on the internet for pleasure, I plan to check out your novel when time and opportunity present themselves. Your line of "the happiest moments …

After reading only a few episodes of your series, sushy, I decide that I wanted to subscribe. I like your art and storytelling style: Humorous, short and to the point. I will continue to enjoy your series as time and motivation allow. Thanks for the link!

"life keeps throwing unwanted 'excitement' at us... " And excitement isn't always fun, eh, crowstories? The most difficult times in my life- death, divorce, work, lawsuits, etc.- have been the best fodder for my art. I was stabbed in the back with a pair of heavy scissors by a patient diagnosed …

I am really attracted to the first image, Macarenaoftime. The style reminds me of catalog illustrations of long times past.

I do something that I call "spewing". I just scribble out lines and then clean them up a bit. For me, it's a very freeing, therapeutically expressing process which is true sketching, coupled with a process that's like sculpturing-. freeing the image from the lines which encompasses it, to parap…

This is my longest GIF, Sirell. I made it as a dig at the Mods on nurses website when they moved my thread on chiropractors into an off topic forum, yet kept a thread about serial killer nurses on the main nursing forum. Wow. I had to make it into black and white, crop it, and compress it befor…

I really, really like your images, sirell! I did nothing but black & white four years. Thanks for sharing!

I believe I know you, don't I? I seem to remember your first GIF being simple lines. Am I mistaken? I haven't visited your series for a while, but will do so. Those are some great GIFs!

Go for it, crowstories! My comic character, Dopey Joe, who is based on one of my most favorite past dogs Tobey Joe, is featured in one of my series, "Traveling Tapas" has been in scads of my creations. Dopey Joe made his appearance in my first GIF, when I used someone else's dance template to cr…

EXCELLENT, Gramkrackerhan! I only read the first two episodes, but will return because you've got a new subscriber!

I got into drawing for hours and hours back in 1992. I was working 12 hour midnight shifts as an ER/med surg nurse in a small community hospital. Hours would go by with nothing to do, so I took to bringing a journal to work. I remember thinking one night, "If I were to be a superhero, what kind o…

. This thumbnail says it all. [image]

When I was in my 20's, I was really into baseball and loved playing softball. But I'm terribly uncoordinated. I use to take some of the psych patients out to a field near the hospital and play ball. In those days, the nurses still wore white uniforms and caps. I wore a white baseball cap with my…

Beautiful, yoyoyoshiko! I love the GIF loops, that repeat and just go on and on and are a joy to look at and watch!

My good friend! dantecitesin! How good to see you here! I would add to dantecitesin's introduction by adding that I am, truly, a big fan of his artwork! His art is beautiful to behold and his humor is outrageously funny! We had a crossover comic on Tapas that was just so much fun! [image] Ho…

Thank you,starlesscomics! I've got lots of groundhog comics. Here's one: [image] I'd be interested if you gould give me some information on getting cartoons into print. Thanks again, starless comics!

Thank you Inspector Spinda! I only briefly checked out OffKey and it seems the episodes are what could be set in real life, but not exactly autobiographical. I'm referring to situations which truly took place in the artist's life.. For example, this Tapas episode is a pictorial and nearly verbatim…

Excellent, mrtoonastic! I'd give you a Like, but have used my quota for today, so IOU! I gotta get back over to the nurses website now... There's a real catfight going on! Edit:I also wanted to say, mrtoontastic, that your simple GIFs look to be as much fun making as they are to watch. "Th…

"sometimes I do forget to do simple stuff like eat or get dressed, but that only happens on the weekends. WhiskeyMadDog [image]

Your statement, Inspector Spinda, of "I think most people here are under 30 so not enough life lived yet" carries some validity and weight. Being into webcomics only for a couple of years, I've noticed the virtual plethora of, for lack of a better term, fantasy comics.It set me to thinking:Maybe…
