1959 Gibson ES-335 TDN, from my buddy's collection.

This was an outtake from our photo session for Vic DaPra and David Plues' "ES Believers" book. I just got my copy and it's pretty packed with incredible stuff! Sadly this specific guitar didn't make it into print, but I was tickled to see that the authors did use our photos for several double-page spreads showing other guitars from this collection, including a couple of natural 175s, a natural ES330, a natural ES350, and a couple of cherry ES335s!

The long-guard ES-335 is quite a rare guitar, especially in "natural" finish, so I was surprised this one didn't make it into the book. But just thumbing through it now, I think I can see why they didn't need to use it: they apparently were spoiled for choice on natural 3xx thinlines! There is a veritable plethora of them in the book - at least a dozen (including a super rare, very early, 1958 model!), which is pretty insane considering how few of them there are out there.

So, I can sort of see why the authors didn't need to use this guitar, especially after they used so many of our other shots (for which, I thank them sincerely!) 🙂

Andrew looks at Kevin after the game against the Trojans.

"How does it feel?" He asks Kevin.

"Losing is not pleasant for anyone," says Kevin.

"Sorry," Andrew says without meaning it at all. "I wanted to say, how does it feel to know that Monsieur Misérable and Mr. Golden Smile are fucking together and have agreed to beat you up?"

Kevin turns to him with a growing bad mood.

"They're not having sex."

"D'Artagnan hit you too hard with the racket. You don't know what you're saying."

"They're not having sex, Andrew!"

"New bet then. I say that France conquers California before the end of the year... In two months if Monsieur Trauma takes care of his shit."

"...Jeremy has never told me he's gay."

Andrew remains silent. He turns his head towards Kevin very very slowly.

"300 dollars."

"We're not going to bet on this..."

"500 dollars."

"Why are you so happy to do this?"

"What do you mean, Kevin? I'm a very happy man."

It's impossible to tell if Andrew is joking with that unflappable expression.

And so the betting returns to the Foxes.

I have a disproportionately loud mess of a head for no discernible reason* so it’s kind of a miracle that I spent the last month and some change willing myself to wield watercolor again. Witness the struggle! A long overdue color sketch for a (super patient) client.

Just watercolor with a boop of gouache.

*they are a mush of small but immense problems??? Executive dysfunction being maximized by meds the main culprit…

actually no i need to talk about the green witch arc. ciel and his band of merry fools go to germany and learn that this forest is haunted by WEREWOLVES and in it is a village full of WITCHES with cursed amulets and potions and whatever

and the immediate vibe is "lol what a bunch of bogus" which is really just batshit coming from the kid with a demon butler

and then woah big reveal! it wasn't werewolves or witches it was a covert military operation REPLETE with radar tracking (not a thing until wwii) and electronic displays (most likely crt screens, which again weren't fully developed until the 1930s) and TANKS. for reference the first "tank" was put together by a guy in 1899 who mounted a machine gun to THIS

absolute paragon of engineering. the panzer (the exact model of tank in the arc) was not a thing until wwi.

and. and ciel and ESPECIALLY the Demon Butler in question are like. ohhhh yeah that makes more sense. the amulets were just transmitting our exact locations through technology that won't exist for another three decades. whew glad we sorted that one out. man wouldn't it have been CRAZY if it really was werewolves.

Anyway consider: Zane cooling off Kai when he overhears from using his powers too much? 👀

Additionally , perhaps for fluff, baking shenanigans :D

Kai constantly needs to cool off, luckily Zane is the definition of cool :3

I HOPE THESE FIT THE REQUEST

I didn't really know how to draw him cooling Kai off but we ball (•̀ᴗ•́) و ̑̑

Okay but don’t think about tommy getting injured and waking up in the hospital to not only evan in the room, but the entire 118 and their spouses in the waiting room and buck tells him there’s a lot of people waiting to see him and they were all worried and tommy’s eyes get a little misty as his face scrunches up all confused and he says “me? They were worried about me?”

And buck holds his hand tight and says “of course they were, you’re family.”

I'm happy and excited to announce I have my first "gig" in months coming up this weekend!

Yes, after what seems like a lifetime of being cooped up by the harshest Canadian winter in a decade, I'm finally heading off this weekend to shoot something EXTREMELY special* for Vic DaPra & David Plues' new Gibson Believers book, out later this year!

Speaking of special: here's a first-year PAF-equipped 1957 Gibson ES175 DN shot for their "ES Believers" book.

*hint: the guitar I'll be shooting is just BURSTing with minty goodness! 😉

I am Thinking About The Implications regarding Ted’s love interests

With Jenny, they were best friends, there was genuine affection and mutual feelings for each other but neither of them acted on it because they both assumed they didn’t have a chance, and then it was too late

With Charlotte, Ted was in love with her but she didn’t reciprocate, he was just one of the men she was having an affair with behind her husband’s back. He never lets himself be too vulnerable and open with her about his feelings, resorting to either yelling at her or just deflecting whenever she starts to talk about Sam. He’ll just take whatever he can get with her

With Lucy, he can actually express his feelings and be affectionate, but only because he’s playing the role of Konk. He has something to hide behind instead of being truly vulnerable. Even when he’s only talking to Hidgens, at least later in the episode, he stays in character, he falls into Konk’s speech patterns because he’d rather be him, in part because Lucy likes Konk. He even asks that she let him die as Konk just so he can feel loved by her

And then, before he’s approached by Sheila, we learn he does actually want to someday start a family, get married and have kids

After the misunderstanding with Jenny, Ted no longer feels he can be open and vulnerable about his feelings, puts up this front of only being interested in sex when he really does want a relationship beyond that, and only feels safe expressing himself truthfully to others when he’s someone else

Ted please for the love of god learn how to express your feelings in a healthy way I am begging you
