On the DEWLine 2.0: Dwight Williams

Usually, on Labour Day, I'd be downtown photographing the parade, and uploading the pix that suited me to Flickr. Because, usually, there would be a Labour Day Parade organized by the local unions and allied organizations. This year, it looks like, thanks to the Time of Pandemic - yet again - that parade is not going to happen.

Instead, there's going to be online events all over the Ottawa-adjacent cyberspaces, hosted by those same labour groups and their allies. I'm not sure which, if any, I'm going to be participating in.

Until then...what did I do today?

I was involved in a video chat with assorted members of ByMUG. Details for today's session were here. Shadow-dot-tech as a gamer's workaround. RSS resources. That sort of thing.

I mowed the front lawn for my household and the next-door neighbours.

I've been adding brushes from my previous Clip Studio Paint version to the current one. That's taking more time than I'd like, because the current version is not set up to batch-import brushes and other materials. Over a hundred brushes involved.

Yesterday, I looked at a script for an old project that never got finished. I was never happy with pencils that I'd handed in, nor with the tech I'd used to paste together the scans of each page. Now that I have both a scanner that can handle an 11 x 17 art board in one pass, and Clip Studio Paint as options to work with...should I revisit that script? I'm tempted.

I am tempted to see if I can do a better job now than I did then.

I do wish that I hadn't passed up on the Pop Expo, but after getting through the Comicon organized by the same people earlier in the year...well, I've got sanity issues with rooms that busy. Too much stimuli for my brain to work with these days. Maybe it's something I can train up to again some day, but for now, two or three hours a year is my limit.

Besides, I had shopping errands to do and family to keep in touch with closer to home.
