I have way too many keyboards:
- An Apple keyboard from about a decade ago.
- A numeric keypad for when I want to do Blender work.
- A Bluetooth keyboard for my iPad or whatever.
- A keyboard for my left hand
(affiliate link, I bought it myself & like it) that I use with Krita and other drawing apps.
I also have way too many fountain pens (is that possible?), notebooks, and other writing tools:
- Three TWSBI Ecos.
- A LAMY Safari.
- A stylus for my laptop, pencils, etc.
I decided to design two connectable keyboard/notebook/pen holders that I could
3d print out. You can grab them off of my Thingiverse designs profile.
I printed these with orange Inland PLA and they’re quite sturdy. I even ended
up printing a few more of the keyboard holders and using them for holding
cutting boards in my kitchen.

I just finished listening to the latest episode of Cortex
(episode 49)
and decided to finally get this up and posted,
since Myke was asking for stories from listeners about how
the podcast helped them. I’m on my second listen through the
series. The first time through, my own comics and art business
was in shambles. I had no real organization or structure, and my
only goal was “draw more comic pages”. After that first listen, I
realized that, if I wanted to make this art and comics thing real,
I had to do more, and do it smater. So I started making checklists,
doing weekly and monthly reviews of both my business and personal
worlds, fixed up my VPS so I can use it for real productivity
(thanks to Sandstorm), and made so many other changes, most that
I’ve highlighted in the fanart above. Of course I don’t do every
little thing that was covered in Cortex…that would just be silly…but
I did zag pretty hard on a few changes in my business and my life.
I’m feeling pretty confident that I can cobble together a good working
creative business by the end of this year. Thanks Myke and Grey!
