Starliner investigation finds numerous problems in Boeing software development process

Starliner investigation finds numerous problems in Boeing software development process

WASHINGTON — Boeing will reverify all the software on its CST-100 Starliner commercial crew spacecraft after an ongoing investigation found “numerous” problems in the original development process that allowed at least two major problems to escape detection.

In a call with reporters Feb. 7, NASA and Boeing officials said they had made no decisions about whether a second uncrewed test flight, or Orbital Flight Test (OFT) of the spacecraft will be needed, but that there were significant issues with the spacecraft, in particular how its software was developed, that need to be corrected.

“We do think that the OFT flight had a lot of anomalies,” said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine during the call.

Of particular concern is the software on Starliner. One issue, found immediately after separating from its upper stage, was a timer offset that prevented the spacecraft from firing its thrusters as planned to reach orbit. While the spacecraft was able to reach orbit, it consumed more fuel than planned, ruling out a planned International Space Station docking and ending the mission just two days after launch.

John Mulholland, vice president and program manager for the Starliner program at Boeing, said the Starliner software is intended to initialize its mission elapsed timer from the Atlas 5 launch vehicle, but only in the “terminal count” phase of the countdown. The software, he said, lacked that terminal count requirement. “So, it polled an incorrect mission elapsed time from the launch vehicle, which then gave us an 11-hour mismatch,” he said.

The second problem, revealed Feb. 6 at a meeting of the Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel (ASAP), was a “valve mapping error” for the thrusters in the vehicle’s service module. Those thrusters perform a “disposal burn” of the service module after separating from the crew module just before reentry.

Mulholland said the valves were configured for conditions in normal flight for that disposal burn, which, had it not been corrected, could have pushed the service module into the crew module. That could have caused the crew capsule to become unstable, requiring additional thruster firings to reorient itself, or have damaged the capsule’s heat shield.

The second error was detected during the review of the spacecraft software on the ground after the timer problem took place. Mulholland said engineers found the thruster software issue late Dec. 21, with the corrected and reverified code uploaded to the spacecraft around 5 a.m. Eastern Dec. 22, or about three hours before the spacecraft landed at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.

“We went hunting immediately after our first software problem, and we found one,” said Jim Chilton, senior vice president of Boeing Space and Launch, of the thruster error. “I don’t think we would have found it if we hadn’t gone looking right after that first one.”

The two software problems are signs of a more fundamental issue, NASA argued. “The real problem is that we had numerous process escapes in the design, development and test cycle for software,” said Doug Loverro, NASA associate administrator for human exploration and operations. “As we go forward, that is what we’re going to be concentrating on.”

The software, Mulholland said, is supposed to go through a “pretty standard” development process where code is written and goes through peer reviews and a series of tests leading up to formal qualification tests. “There are a number of checks along the way that are designed to uncover and correct code errors as early as you can,” he said.

However, there were “breakdowns in multiple areas in that process” discovered by the independent review team, Loverro said. “For each of these two problems that we know about, some of that breakdown was in different spots and some was in the same spot of the process.”

“The process broke down in many areas for each of these things, and that’s one of the reasons why we have to go back and do such a thorough review of all of the software,” he added.

Mulholland said that Boeing planned to review all of the software developed for Starliner, which totals about one million lines of code. “We believe we need to go back and reverify all of the software code,” he said. Boeing will consult with NASA and the independent review team to confirm that plan, but didn’t state how long that reverification process would take.

The overall investigation into the problems encountered with the mission, which also includes communications glitches not related to the software, is still in progress. Bridenstine said that the investigation should be complete by the end of the month.

He suggested the only reason NASA and Boeing held this briefing was that ASAP had been briefed about an interim report on the ongoing investigation, which ASAP then discussed at its Feb. 6 public meeting. “But in the interests of transparency, and some of the things that I saw online yesterday, I wanted to make sure that everybody knew kind of where we were in the investigation,” he said.

Because that investigation is ongoing, he said it was premature to decide whether a second uncrewed test flight will be needed, something Loverro agreed with. “You don’t go ahead and do flight tests to verify that you’ve solved problems. You do flight tests to look at a holistic picture of the system,” Loverro said. The need for another flight test, he said, will only become clear after completing the reviews and fixing the process errors.

That will include a full organizational safety assessment of Boeing, which the ASAP also revealed at its meeting. Part of the reason for that review, Loverro said, was “press reports that we’ve seen from other parts of Boeing,” an apparent reference to problems with its 737 Max airliner, which has been grounded since two crashes blamed on the plane’s new software. “There could possibly be process issues at Boeing, and so we want to understand what the culture is at Boeing that may have led to that.”

“This just continues to show that we need to be vigilant,” said Kathy Lueders, manager of NASA’s commercial crew program, of the overall investigation. “We’ll continue to take the lessons and the items they are bringing up in their very thorough review forward, and continue to get better.”

A Complete History of Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello’s Relationship

Publicity stunt or actual true love? The hottest couple of 2019, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello, can’t seem to get away from this pressing question. The two lovebirds have been close friends since their rise to fame back in 2014 but now, they’re clearly something more. Here’s the official breakdown of the pair’s sweet five-year (and counting) relationship.

July 2014: Live On Tour

The two started off as friends during her then-boyfriend Austin Mahone’s world tour, where they performed as opening acts. Cabello was still a part of the all-girl group Fifth Harmony, and Mendes was working on his first album, Handwritten.

April 2015: Interview with Capital FM radio

During an interview where Mendes was asked who he would kiss, diss or marry, he dished, “I would probably wife Camila”, and the Shawmila possibility was born.

November 2015: I Know What You Did Last Summer collab

The two collaborated on a hit single that grabbed the attention of pretty much everyone and quickly rose to the Canadian Hot 100 charts, winning the iHeartRadio Much Music Video Award for Fan Fave Video and Best Pop Video.

November 2015: Interview with James Corden

After the release of their first collab, the pair took to The Late Night Show with James Corden, where he asked all the questions we’ve been dying to get answers to. “There’s no way you guys haven’t made out,” Corden pushed, hoping to uncover a hidden love affair, but to his dismay (and ours) Mendes and Cabello both stated it was simply a platonic relationship. “Every time I try to make a move she just swerves me off,” Mendes shared. Even Cabello chimed in saying, “He friend-zoned me, he calls me kid!”

March 2017: A cover of Ed Sheeran’s Kiss Me is uploaded and everyone freaks out

A black and white video of the Canadian and Cuban-American stars singing together hit Youtube at full force, reaching almost 3.5 million views in no time. Not too shabby for a brisk 24-second clip.

May 2017: Supportive besties

Even though the two continued to deny any BF/GF ties to each other, they shared a lot of love and support through social media posts and shout outs.

January 2018: The Grammys

Cuddled up side by side for a photo op, the two say they’re just best mates supporting each other.

so proud of this amazing human !!!!!! seems like yesterday we were just kids singing ed sheeran songs in the dressing room, now we’re kids trying not to throw up cause we’re at the Grammys!!!! i love you forever ❤️

December 2018: Camila’s coupley IG pics

After posting two photos where the “friends” were seen singing and braiding hair (yes Shawn can do it all!), fans found new hope in the notion that the dynamic duo were finally coming out as a pair. But, it was not to be as they denied any relationship progression. Ugh, come on guys!

May 2019: Mendes releases new self-titled album, Cabello shared her excitement (and love)

Cabello took to Twitter to share her support for Mendes, saying, “My mind was blown listening to this album, I’m in awe of you! I love you, I’m so so so so happy these incredible songs and stories are out!” Now, it’s not the first time she dropped the L-word for Mendes, but at least this time she didn’t add ‘friend’ to the sentence.

June 2019: The epic drop of music video Señorita had us all in heart-eyes mode

To say the video was intimate would be the understatement of the year. The duo were totally inseparable and unable to keep their hands off each other, all while making it look effortlessly sexy. The chemistry between the two had everyone double checking Cabello’s relationship status, which at the time was linked to British native Matthew Hussey. Although we’re not quite sure what the final straw was between Cabello and Hussey, it wasn’t too long after the video dropped that they called it quits.

July 2019: Fans come for the pair, claiming their new relationship is a fraud

Strolling hand in hand at Mendes’ LA pad, sneaking a kiss between bites at a restaurant and more mysterious lovey tweets by Cabello had their fan base pondering all kinds of theories. Many took to Twitter to come for the newly founded couple, saying that the timing of the relationship was all a PR stunt to promote their new single. The couple was also seen intertwined while floating around in the warm Miami waters while the Toronto musician was on his world tour. The Señorita star defended herself and her new beau by deleting any negative comments or tweets, which seemed to only confuse people even more.

August 2019: Mendes’ 21st Birthday Party

During his birthday bash in New York City, Mendes and Cabello seemed to be in their own little world, unable to stay away from each other. Mendes made partygoers swoon as he grabbed her by the hand and went in for a kiss—ah, young love. She gave him another IG shoutout saying “Happy Birthday to this magic human, I love you!”, posting an old Polaroid along with it. Though the two are Instagram (semi)official, they still have yet to confirm their relationship publicly.

October 2019: Mendes confirms they’re officially dating

After months of intense speculation, Shawn Mendes confirmed to his fans that he and Cabello began “officially” dating in July, a month after they dropped their steamy single Señorita. “We haven’t been dating for that long,” Mendes told fans at a concert in Hindmarsh, Australia in footage that was later shared on Twitter. “We have been dating since July 4th officially.”

November 2019: The two engage in major PDA at a basketball game

At Los Angeles’s Staples Centre, where the LA Clippers were playing the Toronto Raptors, the two engaged in some very public displays of affection. Kissing, holding hands, gazing into each other’s eyes—the two seemed loved up and happy, and totally oblivious to the people around them.

A Five Year Timeline Leading To R. Kelly’s Sexual Abuse Charges

Getty Image

R. Kelly is currently free on bond after being charged last Friday with 10 counts of sexual abuse in Chicago. The singer has long faced allegations of sexual abuse and sexual misconduct with teens, including a marriage with late singer Aaliyah when she was 15. He was acquitted of child pornography charges in 2008 after a video allegedly depicted him having sex with a 14-year old girl. Though the singer was acquitted, many people believe that it was him in the tape.

The recent charges are widely thought to be spurred by the continued work of black women like dream hampton, who produced Lifetime’s poignant Surviving R. Kelly docuseries, as well as Oronike Odeleye and Kenyette Barnes of #MuteRKelly, the movement to get R. Kelly veritably blackballed from the music industry. Their work, along with that of reporter Jim DeRogatis, kept his misdeeds in the public consciousness and eventually led survivors to come forward with stories that allowed authorities to act.

Kelly faces up to 70 years in prison in the Chicago case, and has two other open investigations, including a Department of Homeland Security team exploring whether he violated sex trafficking laws.

Kelly’s charges seem like a long time coming for the people who believe he’s a serial abuser. Here’s a timeline of the past five or so years of controversy and alleged sexual misconduct surrounding R. Kelly, starting with the piece that arguably re-introduced the story into the mainstream media:

July 2013: R. Kelly headlines the Pitchfork Fest

Getty Image

In 2013, Pitchfork booked R. Kelly to headline their annual Pitchfork Fest. The brand faced a swarm of backlash online given R. Kelly’s alleged history of sexual misconduct with young girls, and later apologized for his selection. Music and culture writer Jim DeRogatis has been instrumental in shedding light on R. Kelly’s alleged sexual abuse, co-writing the first in-depth investigation into R. Kelly’s alleged deeds nearly 20 years ago and receiving the first tape which allegedly depicts R. Kelly having sex with a 14-year-old girl.

DeRogatis sent the video to the Chicago Police, which sparked R. Kelly’s first trial. He called out Pitchfork with a festival review that took them to task for booking who he deemed a “monster.” The fervor over Kelly’s performance and DeRogatis’ spat with Pitchfork brought the details of Kelly’s past back to the forefront.

December 2013: A Village Voice piece rekindles R. Kelly’s past history of abuse allegations

While writer Drew Millard surmised for Noisey that R. Kelly headlined Pitchfork Fest “because his music matters to people, and if Jim DeRogatis wasn’t paying attention to that, that’s his problem, not Pitchfork’s, and it’s certainly not ours,” Pitchfork’s Jessica Hopper reflected deeper on DeRogatis’ stance.

After initially defending Pitchfork’s decision to book R. Kelly, she got a call from DeRogatis who told her about the toll that R. Kelly’s abuse had taken on his alleged victims, including how “one of Kelly’s victims called him in the middle of the night after his Pitchfork review came out to thank him for caring when no one else did.” Their conversation led to Hopper’s December 2013 Village Voice piece entitled “Read The ‘Stomach-Churning’ Sexual Assault Accusations Against R. Kelly In Full,” which was exactly what the title proclaimed.

Hopper picked up where DeRogatis left off, reintroducing the allegations of Kelly’s sexual abuse of young Black girls to a new generation, and laying a case for why Kelly shouldn’t be on anyone’s stage, and should probably be behind bars. The piece helped reshape the perception around R. Kelly, who had still maintained a successful music career even after his trial and years of accusations of abuse of Black girls.

July 2017: DeRogatis reports on an R. Kelly’s “sex cult”

A couple years later, Jim DeRogatis wrote another bombshell piece about R. Kelly, this time reporting in Buzzfeed that R. Kelly was operating a veritable “sex cult.” Three sets of parents alleged to DeRogatis that Kelly had their daughters enslaved in his home and conditioned for his sexual desires.

R. Kelly denied the allegations, as did Jocelyn Savage, one of the alleged victims. She had an alarming webcam interview with TMZ where another person’s shadow cast on her as she talked to the gossip outlet. As she denied being held against her will, the person’s shadow can be seen making gestures, likely policing her responses.

July 2017: Oronike Odeleye and Kenyette Barnes push to #MuteRKelly

View this post on Instagram

Yup. This ain't new. S/O to @skoolwerkapparel for gifting me this dope shirt. Thank you for supporting this work. #MuteRKelly #IndictRKelly #blackgirlsmatter #survivingrkelly #RKellyStummschalten #metoomovement

A post shared by Kenyette Tisha Barnes (@kenyette_tish) on Feb 18, 2019 at 12:17pm PST

The official #MuteRKelly website states that after news of the alleged “sex cult” prompted “Atlanta Arts Administrator, Oronike Odeleye to take action and start a petition to get R. Kelly’s music off of Atlanta airwaves.” Activist Kenyette Barnes joined Odeleye’s cause, and the two coined #MuteRKelly, a term which has been employed by numerous feminist movements. The hashtag has since become one of the most popular manners to advocate for R. Kelly to be blackballed from the music industry.

March 2018: BBC Three Releases R Kelly: Sex, Girls & Videotapes

youtube

BBC Three’s Ben Zand crafted a documentary that, as BBC says, “explores allegations surrounding the sex life of R&B legend R. Kelly, including accusations of holding women against their will in his home in Atlanta and running a degrading sex cult.” Zand interviewed some of Kelly’s alleged victims, and his former enablers, friends, and music peers to interrogate the accusations that have persisted about him throughout his career. The documentary also told the story of Kitti Jones, who R. Kelly groomed as his “sex pet” at just 14-years-old.

April 2018: Another sexual misconduct allegation

Getty Image

In April 2018, Faith Rodgers claimed through her lawyer that she was the victim of “unlawful restraint” at the hands of Kelly. The 19-year-old woman says that Kelly wanted to indoctrinate her into his harem, and was guilty of “predatory, controlling and abusive behavior” as well as “furnishing alcohol and illegal drugs to a minor” and intentionally giving her an STD. She told her story in Surviving R. Kelly. Kelly publicly denied the allegations through his lawyer and Rodgers says he later threatened her over the STD claim. After the BBC documentary and Rodgers’ allegations, Kelly’s lawyer, assistant, and publicist quit working for him.

April 2018: #TimesUp allies with #MuteRKelly; Vince Staples calls him a “child molestor”

ladies and gentlemen, vince staples on r kelly pic.twitter.com/SmZdYu9PNJ

— andy (@aboynamedandy) April 16, 2018

During an interview with journalist Nadeska Alexis during the 2018 Coachella festival, Vince Staples vocalized the thoughts of many by calling R. Kelly a “piece of sh*t” and a “child molestor.” Staples’ comments were notable because so few of Kelly’s musical peers, especially in the rap world, have publicly come out against the singer. Staples later tweeted that he got word that “R. Kelly people is looking for me,” though it’s unclear if he was joking.

Later that month, the Women Of Color coalition of the #TimesUp movement announced solidarity with the #MuteRKelly movement, calling for R. Kelly to be dropped from RCA Records and for his music to be removed from the radio and streaming services.

May 2018: Streaming services stop promoting R. Kelly

Getty Image

In May of 2018, Spotify announced a hateful conduct policy that removed several controversial artists from their editorial content and playlists, including R. Kelly. Streaming services Apple Music and Pandora later announced that they would stop promoting or featuring R. Kelly on the service. Due to pressure from the music industry, including Kendrick Lamar and TDE Records, Spotify’s policy was reversed. Spotify has since announced that they’re soon introducing mute functionality, which will allow users to stop hearing music from certain artists.

May 2018: R. Kelly says it’s “too late” to be #muted

So, remember that I told you about that random Antoine Walker FB Live video with R. Kelly last night? Well, here is partially slurring Kels proposing a toast declaring “it’s too late” to #MuteRKelly pic.twitter.com/a45z7EDis2

— Exavier Pope (@exavierpope) May 18, 2018

Later that May, a clip emerged from retired NBA player Antoine Walker’s Facebook Live session showing a defiant, intoxicated Kelly proclaiming that it’s “too late” for him to be muted or face punishment for his alleged sexual misconduct. The video shows Kelly holding a toast in a room of other men who amped up his statements that “it’s a million motherf*ckers hating, but a billion motherf*ckers who lovin me” and “I’mma take this musical sh*t, and I’mma inject these motherf*ckers with this musical, beautiful sh*t.”

July 2018: R. Kelly releases 19-minute “I Admit” song

Getty Image

On July 23 of 2018, R. Kelly uploaded “I Admit” to his Soundcloud page. Despite the loaded title, the 19-minute track doesn’t admit any sexual misconduct. While he admits having sex with “older and younger” women, he denies dealing with any underaged girls. Elsewhere on the track he admits “a family member touched me / from a child to the age of 14.”

He also admits that “the truth in this message is I’m a broke-ass legend, the only reason I stay on tour is ’cause I gotta pay my rent,” surmises “my work has nothing to do with my private life” and tells women’s groups, “go ahead and stone me, point your finger at me / turn the world against me, but only God can mute me.” The song did little to shift the cultural perception of R. Kelly, aside from starting a conversation on social media about how victims can grow to become the violators that victimized them.

January 2019: Surviving R. Kelly premieres

youtube

In January of this year, journalist dream hampton’s 4-part docuseries Surviving R. Kelly debuted on Lifetime. The documentary is the most damning collection piece of evidence against the singer, containing numerous stories from women and girls that R. Kelly allegedly preyed on, as well as interviews with the parents of the women in R. Kelly’s sex cult. The docuseries paints a grim, disheartening portrait of R. Kelly’s physical and mental abuse, and the inner-workings of his “cult,” including a look into his former Georgia home where women were confined to their rooms and forced to urinate in buckets.

Several women gave testimony on how R. Kelly abused them in numerous ways as underaged girls, including filming them against their will and forcing them to have sex with him in controlling, dehumanizing manners. The docuseries was a landmark moment that had seemingly everyone talking. R. Kelly denied the allegations, and may have created a “Surviving Lies” Facebook page which aimed to discredit Asanta McGee, a woman who accused him of two years of abuse in the documentary and in a BBC feature. The page was quickly taken down.

January 2019: Fallout from Surviving R. Kelly

Getty Image

In the wake of Surviving R. Kelly, the Fulton County (GA) District Attorney’s office opened an investigation into numerous women’s claims in the documentary that they were held hostage by him at his former Georgia home. The Johns Creek Police Department submitted a file on Kelly to the DA after the 2017 Buzzfeed “cult” report, but Fulton County didn’t open an investigation. Their investigation was one of the first signs that the docuseries would engender not just cultural but legal consequences for Kelly.

On January 18, RCA Records officially dropped R. Kelly, his label home for over 20 years.

On the same day, Kelly’s former manager Henry James Mason turned himself into Georgia police after allegedly threatening the father of Jocelyn Savage, a woman featured in the docuseries who was allegedly being held against her will as part of Kelly’s harem. Timothy Savage alleges that Mason called him “telling him it would be best for him and his family if the series does not air.” Little did Mason know, Savage had him on speakerphone while a Henry County (GA) police officer was present and listening.

On February 1, R. Kelly was “symbolically” banned from Philadelphia. City council member Helen Gym told the Philadelphia Inquirer that “It’s about being clear that we will not accept a future where rape is accepted, and rapists and sexual predators get away with their acts. I believe that R. Kelly and predators like him should be shamed and banished from the public sphere.” Kelly isn’t formally banned from visiting or performing in the city, but the “public declaration” likely alienates any chance of a venue booking him.

February 2019: R. Kelly tapes surface

Update: We have become aware of the existence of a third tape, that allegedly shows further acts of sexual abuse of an underage girl by R Kelly, which we are presently working to recover and turnover to law enforcement.

— Michael Avenatti (@MichaelAvenatti) February 16, 2019

On February 14, lawyer Michael Avenatti announced that he received a tape reportedly depicting R. Kelly in a sex act with an underage girl. The graphic description of the video allegedly includes both R. Kelly and the girl vocalizing that she’s 14-years-old. CNN also reportedly saw the tape before it was turned into Chicago police. A week later, Avenatti announced that he had knowledge of another tape of R. Kelly and an underage girl that he was seeking to receive and also turn into law enforcement.

R. Kelly was acquitted of child pornography charges in 2008 after an infamous tape depicting him having sex with a 14-year-old girl in his Chicago home was sent to writer Jim DeRogatis, who turned it over to Chicago Police. Kelly’s brothers contend that the singer offered his brother Carey Kelly $50K and a one album record deal to say that it was him in the tape, but Carey declined. It’s widely believed that Kelly’s acquittal hinged on key witnesses refusing to testify.

R. Kelly is charged with 10 counts of sexual abuse

BREAKING NEWS: R. Kelly has turn himself into the District 1 police office. @Suntimes He’s seen in blue jacket in handcuffs. pic.twitter.com/hDmuBUZs3E

— Savannah Eadens (@SavannahEadens) February 23, 2019

On Friday, Chicago’s Cook County DA’s Office announced that R. Kelly was being charged with 10 counts of sexual abuse. Along with the tape that was sent into authorities, TMZ reported that over 12 witnesses have come forward to allege to a grand jury that Kelly has had sex with minors. One of the women said that she was underage when Kelly had a sexual relationship with her from 2008 to 2010, and provided an unspecified piece of physical evidence. Another woman corroborated details mentioned in Surviving R. Kelly.

Kelly turned himself in on Friday and received a $1,000,000 bail. His lawyer said that he couldn’t afford the bail and he actually stayed in jail for days until 47-year-old Illinois woman Valencia P. Love — a daycare owner — posted his bond. Love says that she’s a fan of R. Kelly, who’s been a “gentleman” to her. She also says that the $100,000 dollars wasn’t her money, though she hasn’t yet clarified where it came from. As a condition of his bail, his passport was confiscated. He was also told that he could have no communication with any of the alleged victims or a child under 18-years-old. He faces up to 70 years in prison if convicted of all charges.

The New Yorker also reports that there is another grand jury occurring in New York City, and the Department of Homeland Security is investigating Kelly’s relationship with a girl who was featured in Surviving R. Kelly. R. Kelly met the girl when she was 17, and her parents, who were in the documentary, have not seen her since. The DHS team of 24+ members is reportedly mulling whether Kelly has violated the Mann Act, which makes it a crime to transport a woman or girl across state lines “for the purpose of prostitution or debauchery, or for any other immoral purpose.”

It remains to be seen how much more time it will take to let justice run its course, we will be updating this timeline with further events as they unfold.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

I finished this a little late (it’s only about 20 minutes into 2019 for me) but I did this! I had some difficulty doing this in certain months-- there’s certainly more art in the last 4 more months than any other-- but I did what I could. January and July were technically finished early into the next month but it was the best I had (January was mostly worked on in January so it’s not much of a copout).

Jan- My New Year Hinoka concept. Very proud of it still. I should really do the rest of the set.

Feb- My Bayonetta zine piece. Not that good to me anymore (though it was only ok to me at the time) but it’s one of my only Feb things. An attempt at a bg was made.

March- Sailor Moon chibi. My first attempt at a chibi in a long time. I was proud of it at the time but it shows as my first try nowadays. Humble beginnings.

April- A commission that I still sorta like. I don’t remember the characters anymore but I always liked how I drew the girl.

May- Selkie and Velour(ia) chibis. Started to feel more firm in my chibi style even though I think this was only my...4th attempt at the style? Changed the head shapes and it really helped. Still proud.

June- Nishiki, Heroes style! I haven’t finished the rest of the set but I should. I like this still!

July- finished in early August but it was the best I had. Drew Deere/Dwyer a year after my Compendium entry.

Aug- Chibi Chibiusa! This was the last SM chibi I’ve drawn, which is...sad. I like it though!

Sept- My Inkling! Definitely still one of my favorite pieces to date. I should really venture out more because this piece took me like a month of near-consistent off and on work (is that contradictory?). Sometimes I just need to hunker down and try something hard.

Oct- My wife Bride Tharja for Compendium’s Where’s Walhart project. It was about time I drew her full body. The DETAIL, omg. No wonder the Heroes artists only draw 3 poses and just amend one.

Nov- More of my Zine piece for the Naruto mix-up zine. I can’t upload it yet, it’s on hold, but it’s not the full piece (technically it’s missing a good chunk). I’m very proud of it.

Dec- My Secret Anna (Compendium Secret Santa) piece! It’s probably the best piece from this month. If not...well I really like it, which counts for something.

Here’s to 2019!

A Complete History of Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello’s Relationship

Publicity stunt or actual true love? The hottest couple of 2019, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello, can’t seem to get away from this pressing question. But one thing is for sure, their PDA and steamy music videos have fans itching to know if their summer love will keep them warm during the winter or sizzle out with the season.

The two lovebirds have been close friends since their rise to fame back in 2014 and continue to be supportive of one another, but their closeness has people asking—they’re just friends? Here is the official breakdown of the pair’s short and sweet five-year (and counting) relationship.
