0066 — The Artboard

There were no outtakes this week; I wrote the script for 0066 on my phone pretty much as-is shortly after waking up last Sunday, and the layout came together in about three hours. So, here's the gesture library I created for piecing the strip together (including the original tableau of dejected, soul-searching Lyle at the riverbank), and a full-screen shot of how my Adobe Illustrator workspace looks.

I've been off caffeine for about six weeks and things are changing. I used to drink a mug or two in the morning, but mostly because I liked the hot flavors. When I switched to decaffeinated I didn't really care that much, because I found a good decaffeinated coffee and it has all that roasty nutty jazz going on, and I always add half and half, allulose, collagen, and two drops of stevia anyway, so it's not like I'm after some sacred bean experience. I wake up fairly clear before seven, instead of groggy at nine, even though I still fall asleep between 12am and 1am. Oh, I also set my phone to not show blue light at any hour (this is way deep in the Accessibility settings) so maybe that's helping too, since I will use it right up until I get too tired to think.
