#junkyard
Meet Makeshift/Jack. Jack lives with her foster father “Uncle” in a junkyard in the outskirts of Rothaven, a once great automotive city but has since been abandoned and fallen apart. With a lot of the jobs gone, many resident turn to crime, including some of the politicians. Jack makes a combination of gadgets and mechanical battle armor with parts she gets in the junkyard to fight the bad guys as the superhero Makeshift! But with the bad guys becoming more and more high tech, will Makeshift be able to outsmart them?
This is another story I’ve been working on that I want to someday make into a cartoon. I’m still fleshing out the character designs but I’m happy with my progress so far!
Edit: a producer from Cartoon Network’s Steven’s Universe suggested I send it to them once I’m finished polishing the story, this could be good!

“joyride”
It was the early 70’s when my paternal grandparents, Henry & Jo, surprised my mother with a used black AMC Rambler. My father was constantly MIA, leaving my mother without transportation and the responsibility of two young children. Grandpa Henry wanted her to have a vehicle to make her everyday life easier and “just in case of emergencies”.
When I spied this old Rambler sitting in a New Mexico junkyard, just viewing the distressed chrome emblems & dashboard brought on a rush of misplaced, happy memories.
A joyride/road trip down HWY 51 to Horseshoe Lake near Cairo, Il., to visit mom’s sister, Aunt Karen, Uncle Russell & Cousins, Kim & Kathy.
I’ll never forget
the smell of the dashboard’s push-in cigarette lighter making it’s first contact with mom’s Tareyton 100’s,
hand-cranking the passenger window down to feel and play with the air’s resistance as we drove down the highway, laying on the front bench seat, watching the rhythm & repetition of power-line poles whizzing by while mom hummed along to music from whichever radio station we could tune in best.
This will forever be a good memory, the simple bliss of independence and quiet content.

Junkyard sketches
Junkyard shenanigans! This was discovered in a bin labeled “SPLAT”. I kind of want to take a bunch of this home and make art with it but with the move coming up soon, it’s just not in the cards right now. We also found a custom-fabricated stainless steel gate that looks like it came from the lockout pen of a zoo tiger. Needless to say, I snagged it up quick for the new wolfdog enclosure. #junkyard #scrapyard #splat #rainbow #colorful #urbex
