It had actually been a year since we last saw each other. I didn't warm up until after I got home.

It's not like there is anything else going on these days really. At least I got out.

I'm sure it's just the way the person likes to communicate. But I was afraid to play it at first, I'm not sure why?

For a few hours it made the day seem kind of surreal.

Growing up I was always told it was unsafe sending cash in the mail.

It was a pretty good accumulation of snow in a short time. That said, I still hate winter.

I did the drawings in kind of an old black and white mystery monster movie.

I swear it happens to me every time.

I never think people will sign up. But I get to meet so many interesting people and artists I didn't know before! I'm scheduling interviews Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2pm central time on my Facebook page  https://fb.com/book/tomrayswebsite/

I actually kinda love sneezing. I don't know why?

It's been I few years since I've fainted during a shot. I always feel so silly when it happens.

This is the third book collection I've made now. It's on Amazon as a paperback and an eBook .

Could be a fun illustration exercise.

On the podcast, I met with  Hessel van Oorschot from the Netherlands who's company Tribe of Noise bought the creative commons music site Free Music Archive . As we were talking he told me about the companies he's been meeting with to discuss new and streamlined ways to help artists, musicians and creators make more of a salary on the internet as a whole and how it's being backed by some of the larger internet services. What the future of art and music on the web could be. We teamed up with an organization called Grant for the Web . Not sure if you've seen that but Grant for the Web is an organization that is backed by creative commons , Mozilla and Coil .  These are organizations that are trying to find new ways, just testing dozens of models. Like if there's something on the internet and you own the intellectual property what if we can not just share it with the world but see if there is a way to monetize this?  What if that can also be like a model where you p...

In the past, I would have gone to see a band play on Friday night. Also here is the video I was talking about https://www.tomrayswebsite.com/2021/01/rl-stine-wrote-this-pee-wee-herman-book.html

While going over the vintage retro items I sold online I didn't realize until after I recorded the video that this Big Top Pee-Wee storybook that I sold said the captions were by Jovial Bob Stine which is the other name used by Goosebumps author R.L. Stine . And I look at a book about Jem and the Holograms, a Curious George doll, and more. Plus, at the end of the video, I draw my daily autobiographical webcomic.

In the past, I've used Flash to do my cartoons but I really want to see what I can do with Blender to animate them.

It was really odd-tasting since I thought I was going to be drinking carbonated water. I've done it the other way too from time to time, grabbing a water when I thought it was a beer.

The heating system hasn't been hooked up yet anyway, so it wouldn't matter if the power was on yet. I've just gotten used to checking it in the past year.

An actual train of thought I had.

One of my favorite music sites is opening again, the Free Music Archive !  I talk with  Hessel van Oorschot from the Netherlands who's company Tribe of Noise bought the site after it was shut down a few years ago. We talk about his plans for the relaunch of this site. But we also talk about the future of art and music on the internet. How different organizations like Coil and Grant for the Web are trying to find ways to help creators, artists, and musicians build their work outside of an ad-based revenue model. This conversation isn't just for musicians it's a discussion about what the future of art on the web could be and what some of these organizations are trying right now.

I'm not sure I've ever been told I bought something wrong before.

We just got done recording a bunch of singles we a getting ready to release so I wanted to take this time to try out something different.

I didn't hear it or anything it just popped in my head out of nowhere.

If it weren't for the way of the world right now I'd probably feel like I have to be somewhere in a situation like this usually.

There is a handful of people I'm connected to still from the time period when Twitter first started in the late 2000s.

Sean Chappell returns to the show to tell me about how life has been going since the last time we talked and he had just quit his job to pursue his art career full-time . Sean is an airbrush artist from Canada and has learned a lot from his experience and even switches gears a bit after starting a Kickstarter campaign to create a table-top game he invented called Honey Bomb !

I thought that was kinda neat.

Seems like too much work. Still, might be cool? Nah.

I show some of the vintage retro things I sold online and because of a shipping mishap one of the things I have ended up costing more to ship than it was even worth.
