When you find a drawing you don't remember doing

I don't remember drawing this picture

A Google Photos drawing surprise

I set up all the drawing apps I use on my phone and tablet to automatically back up what I create to Google Photos.

The main reason is to save it of course.

But the other reason I back up my drawings to Google Photos is that it has a memory feature. I get an alert each day where it tells me I have photo memories that I can look at.

Along with the pictures I took, I'll see random sketches and drawings that I did that day in years past.

I like thinking back on some of the artwork I did and sometimes a drawing that I forgot about that inspires me to continue working on it again.

I don't remember why I drew this

But this sketch right here, I don't remember doing at all and I don't have any idea what I was trying to do with it?

I like the drawing but it just raises questions

Is it a person I saw?
Did I just make them up in my head?
Was it an idea for a comic or cartoon?

So, why did I draw it?

I have no clue. It's not a character I've drawn in the past and it's not in my usual style and to tell you the truth, looking at it I feel like I couldn't have made it. But when I look at it I can tell it was drawn by me, so why was I drawing it?

I feel like I had some great idea for it in my head that is now lost forever.

But I like it and I wish I had a better story behind drawing it but I don't.

And if I didn't back this up to Google Photos I pretty much would never have seen it again 😁

How I use one Gmail address for multiple Soundcloud accounts

Do you know the Gmail "+" trick to use one email for multiple accounts on one service? Here's a little trick I use that works for any service. I talked about this on the podcast episode I did with artist Mortimur K . In this case, let's say I used up all the uploads I have for my free Soundcloud account . With this trick, I can open a new free account and use the same Gmail address. I don't want to create another Gmail account to sign up again. Using my one Gmail address for multiple accounts on the same service I don't remember when I learned this but you can alter the name on a Gmail address. Like, let's say mine is "tom@gmail.com". To be clear that is not my email. I wish it was, but this is just a short example. Start with the original Gmail address Add a "+" after the email name Where it says "tom" on the address I can put a "+" after that. Add a "+" after the email name After that "+" I ca

Can I Buy And Resell Copies Of My Own Book From Amazon KDP?

There are two questions that I get asked about publishing my webcomic books on Amazon KDP . 1 - Can I Order A Print Copy Of My Own Book From Amazon KDP? When I started printing on Amazon KDP I also had that question. The reason I put the books together is I was just kind of doing it for myself. I could make a paperback version of my webcomic books and then I and my family could get a copy. It didn't even occur to me that I could actually start selling the book in public. I thought it was just print-on-demand and then maybe I could order one. But when I print a book on Amazon KDP I can also get up to 999 copies and sell it on my own! I was able to get my own copies from Amazon KDP sent to me. As the author, I can get them at printing cost . So they're at a discounted price. The option to order author copies is right in the KDP publishing setup. The button is next to the book in KDP. 👇 The other question I get about publishing my book on Amazon KDP... 2 - Can I Sell My A
