This page would be a blog if it were 2004. But it's not, so, this page is going to be mostly for news and doodled miscellany.
A new Thoughtful Forest Creature is up, and this one comes with haiku! Could this be the makings of a forest band, do you think? Shy Badger and the Two Haiku? (Maybe Badger is very shy in real life, but get him on stage and suddenly he's some kind of furry Ziggy Stardust, with rainbow lightning painted on his monochrome face?? Maybe. Maybe.)
Read MoreHey there. I’m Daniel, and this (thedanielbrauer.com) is my new website. It's pretty small and easy to scan, but let me write you a tour anyway:
In the Writing section, you'll find a brand-new illustrated essay about creativity and owls and penguins, written last month, and also an old story I've always been fond of, written back in 2002. There's a gallery page with other new comics and drawings, a list of my publications, and finally, in the About page, there's an in-depth exploration of my history and psyche. By which I mean the opposite and, also, a picture of me and a tree. Wherever you click, I hope you enjoy it, and that you tell me if you do. (Tell me if you don't, also, but, y'know, take it easy.)
To be continued, till next time, yours truly. Etc.
ps. There's also a scrapbook of sorts about mindful meditation, a rolling progress report I'm keeping about mindfulness as I learn about it. It's not got much to do with the rest of the site, so it's not linked to up in the navigation bar, but, if you go in for this sort of thing, it's here.
A new Thoughtful Forest Creature! I call him Doleful Deer, though I hope he's not really too doleful. Maybe he's just daydreaming? (Or maybe he's just cold, this birch forest looks awfully snowy.)
Read MoreAfter drawing Pensive Bear the other week, I thought he might want a friend, so I drew this owl. He was originally going to be Pensive Owl, but my drawing skills are not what you'd call "precise", so he ended up more Anxious than Pensive. Thus was he dubbed Anxious Owl.
Read MorePeople tell me Pensive Bear is sad, but I don't think so, I think he's just thoughtful. I'm not 100% sure what he's thinking about, because I don't speak fluent Bear and couldn't ask him for specifics. Nevertheless, I am a world-renowned bear whisperer, so I can tell you that Bear is most likely rigorously training himself in the art of lucid dreaming...
