Posting these sketchbook sketches isn’t as prominent as I need to be since I’m busy with some bigger projects and shows. My business has been cranking up and I get worried if I’m overwhelming myself.

Mastafran January Weekly Sketchbook Week 4
I return again with a new Weekly Sketchbook! I’m preparing for new conventions, so sketch stuff has been minimal this week.
This week I did some digital art to a finished point. I saw cow bikini’s show up on my Pinterest and I had a tiny gag in mind.

It’s been a long year, I’d say! 2023 had plenty of ups and downs, but overall, I’m alright with this year.
Besides all my art stuff, going to conventions, and I losing my iPad, I’ve been living a simple enough life. Back in August to went on a trip to Arizona to met up with my friends and visit SabotenCon. The previous time I went to Arizona, we did more hiking and exploring the state. Most of my 2023 trip was wandering the convention, but I’d love to comeback again and visit the Grand Canyon or Las Vegas.
As of wring this, I’m doing laundry and not feeling that my day is any special. I still waste my time wondering what I did wrong in the year and hoping that I can fix what’s wrong with me in the future. For now, I’ll look back on what I’ve been doing for the past month and the past year.

In a surprising twist of events, I shall be tabling at Pocket Con 2023 on December 9th at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago! As another treat, I’ll also be performing a live Draw in Demand panel at 11 am, where the audience can make art requests!
This caught me on the backfoot after WindyCon but I’m still ready to take on my first convention in the proper city of Chicago with all the parking issues it entails! I’ll see you there with my comics, stickers and playmats as usual!
Finishing the Fall Convention Season
Life is going swell as I’ve been dabbling on art projects while attending shows and events over the autumn season. I’ve been fluctuating with my moods for most of the time and reworking my priorities list. Some days, I lose focus on my big needs of my art career. Seasonal depression might be the culprit, but I’m hanging in there and not losing focus in the unimportant stuff.

I 3D printed a nib holder from Halftone Hospital at the Joliet Public Library and it’s Digital Media Studio! The print seems to have gone well and the part screw together well with my G-nibs! I can’t want to dive into a bigger drawing!

This is a short process article about how I draw my Dragon Knight Copic Marker illustration in five hours at Sablecon back in October 2023!
This a throwback to an older Copic Marker style that I rarely use but I can give you insight into the five hour process I spend drawing between sales and conversations with guests

How to Reset Wacom Driver Without Computer Restart
I’m on and off with my streaming on my Twitch Channel! From tech issues, scheduling conflicts, and that eternal feeling of being behind, streaming art videos is tough. Sometimes, I’m lucky enough to catch interesting stream clips to make as short tutorials for all who are interested.
This video tutorial talks about the common problem of how to reset your non-functional Wacom Driver without resetting the machine.
- Windows Logo Key+R
- Type services.msc then press the Enter
- Right-click the Wacom Professional Service and click Restart
Your Wacom Tablet should be good to go! There are several ways to tackle this, but this was one of the few that I’ve learned. I keep falling off my regular streaming schedule, but when I do, I archive them on my second YouTube Channel for anyone to catch up!

Howdy ho all! Taking a break from my Tears of the Kingdom addiction to bring you news of conventions, streaming, and drawing! I haven’t had much to say for the past few months as I’ve been keeping my nose to the ground.
