III. Spelling
Day 3 (48:27), Graham (@Graham_LRR) hosted a show called Graham Stark's Spelling Wasp. In this sample sentence, he channels the hearts of the competitors.

II. Change
As Max says: IAN!
Day 2 (28:17), Night Watch. Ian does a cursed phrasing. Ben and Jordan try to direct change, but Ian holds steadfast. Not very "yes and" of you, Ian.

There can be beauty in death, bittersweet as it may be. A death surrounded by family, music, memories—love.
A piece inspired by a new friend. Mixed Japanese calligraphy and Latin #calligraphy. India ink on parchment-textured paper.
Poetry is my own. I am a student of the Japanese language, pardon awkward poetry—at the very least I expect I've rather unceremoniously mixed classical and modern Japanese.

Desert Bus 2024, Day 7. (Yes, I did skip Day 6.)
A Night Watch Art Challenge for their Beyblades slogan, "If you love something, let it rip!"
In Japanese, the Beyblades anime uses "Go shoot!", so I translated this as「何かを好きならGO SHOOT」.
Sumi ink, watercolour, Japanese calligraphy brushes, watercolour brushes, Western broad nib pens, cold-press watercolour paper.

Desert Bus 2024, Day 4. Dan Olson is a thoughtful person. Welcome to the unhinged madness that is Desert Bus for Hope; please come again!
I felt like the words speak for themselves and needed very little. I edited and formatted them into a contemporary poem, and added a little accent. That's all.
India ink and watercolour on textured paper. Italic script.

Desert Bus 2024, Day 3. The crew read Am I the Bushole stories, and suggest alternative recourses. Dan Wu's proposal is, it turns out, occult—and accidentally poetic?
I made the mistake of picking a thin calligraphy paper to do wet-on-wet watercolour, but turns out the buckling, once scanned, enhance the ritual!
Italic script, ink and watercolour on paper.

Someone must have said something cursed. I'm not sure who.
Surprisingly, it wasn't Ian! He was the one calling for them to shut their word hole.
Winsor & Newton india and orange ink, Brause nibs, parchment paper. Foundational and very rough textura quadrata scripts.
I'm annoyed at that splotch, but it happened RIGHT at the end so... it lives there now.

Carrie remarks upon the substantiality of the Dawn Guard discourse.

omg. honourable mention.
I *was* going to catch up on quotes calligraphy... then Night Watch did an anime title card art challenge, and that consumed an entire shift.
So here's a title card for the 2023: Night Watch season of the Desert Bus anime, feat. @ihorner's fart. It's kind of insane doing a watercolour painting in ≈3h.
Watercolour, india ink on hot press paper. Calligraphy: #romancapitals #italicscript
