Started and finished my first ever ZINE today. The hardest part was configuring my scanner! Excited to make more.

Found a life drawing session local to me this week! Felt great to come back to it after a SIX YEAR break. I used to go every Wednesday night to a friend's studio, and we would all hang out until 2 in the morning. The last session was the day before the US pandemic shut down, and since then everyone moved away and my friend's studio closed.

Anyway, it was good to get back to it. The model was Tracey, who I have drawn over the years many times. It was good to see her familiar curly hair and tattoos!

My only gripe with this session was they did not have a light for the model - it was just fluorescent lights on the ceiling. And they didn't have easels or drawing horses, only tables! I threw together a box to angle my board accordingly.

Next time, I'll be sure to bring my own stand. Don't know what to do about the light though, wouldn't it be rude to give one to the host after attending only one time?

Started on a new oil painting! Actually trying to salvage an old wip I abandoned. So no big peeks until I get to where I want to go with it, but here's a little snippet that I like so far.

This one is telling me it's finished.

Tonight's progress. Going to start another canvas before making one final pass on this.

Re-visiting a sketchbook I had during my recovery 3 years ago. These two in particular take me back to exactly how I felt at that time.

I've been playing with crayons again! Gets me out of my usual ink line habits. Love certainly gets me out of my usual habits, too! Something that shakes things up, makes me feel safe. Finding a home in something so different from myself.

As of September 2022, the first ever playable episode of Opal and Tiny Cow is ready to play! This any future episodes will be uploaded to op

I am so proud to say that I finally, after YEARS, have made a post to my website. I feel like I got the wind knocked out of me 3 years ago, and I'm finally getting back up.

These were so fun to color. Not as fun to cut!
