Gauthic Times #55 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or One Month Down & Nearing the End

Hello, friends! Another week down and it was another crazy one. I had a medical consultation on Monday and a colonoscopy on Thursday. Work was both stressful and not, boring but really busy. Lots of disappointments and lots of fun. Let’s see… Welcome to the 55th installment of Gauthic Times, the newsletter about my writing, […]

Gauthic Times #53 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier: Working on a Dream

Hello, friends! This weekend is a long weekend thanks to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, which makes me think about Dr. King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech.

The Early 2022 Post, or Man, I Really Need to Step Things Up

Happy New Year! We made it through 2021 and that’s probably as positive as I can be about that experience! I mean, I guess it wasn’t worse than 2019 or 2020, but it wasn’t great. Teaching during the 2021-2022 school year has so far been the most difficult I’ve experienced. We here at casa de […]

Gabby Ray Arrives!

Gabby Ray has lived in my family since 2007. It began as a joke but I’ve used the character as an example for years in my class when I teach Photoshop, InDesign, etc. Last year, I did a project with the students and actually did the project with them. Writing, drawing, all of this comic […]
