Right before the writers’ strike, I wrote 10 episodes for season one of the “Me & Winnie the Pooh” shorts (available on Disney+ and YouTube).

As part of my preparation for working on the project, I read/re-read all of A.A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh books and his children’s poetry books so I just had to pitch (and then write!) an episode where Winnie the Pooh recites a poem that he came up with about nature.

Around that same time, I also started an illustration job and did this quick two-page watercolor illustration using (the first draft of) my Winnie the Pooh nature poem to be able to show a layout example.

Steven Universe premiered 10 years ago today so I had to make some Cookie Cats! (I couldn’t find my original Cookie Cat cookie cutter that I made way back in the summer of 2013 so I made a new one.)

Well dang, I guess picking Tom for the Hierophant/High Priest (wielder of the “triple cross,” no less) fits even better now. Especially since he and the High Priestess are staying together. How sweet.

I remember thinking that the Waite-Smith Hierophant card already looked like Tom (and it really kind of does...), but setting him as that also helped (in my mind at least) to solidify Shiv as the High Priestess, and if Kendall “Number One Boy” Roy was going to be the number one card in the deck - The Magician - then Shiv needed to be the number two card in the deck - The High Priestess.

I am so not ready for the Succession finale tonight.

I didn’t manage to properly pre-grieve by finishing the tarot cards but here’s a collection of some of the sketches I did way back when I was working on the first ten of them (including a few of the warm-up sketches I posted previously and a peek at the two cards I was going to hit next).

Hopefully I’ll still come back to this someday - I have all 22 of the major arcana cards roughed out and even a few bonus minor arcana cards. Maybe if they announce a spin-off show or if I just suddenly have more time to draw again…

Here’s a song of mine that I also made a music video for.

The music video can be found on my website: christycohen(dot)com

#Going On By #Guitar #Song

I did some digital art practice using one of my favorite backyard buddies as inspiration.

Roman - The Moon (subconscious, illusions, anxiety…)

Gerri - Strength (fortitude, focus, influence…)

Rockstar and the mole woman for two more Succession tarot cards.

Kendall - The Magician (manifestation, willpower, self-confidence…)

Siobhan - The High Priestess (intuition, tenacity, unattainability…)

Happy(?) season finale day! Have some number one boy and number one/only daughter tarot cards.

Here’s a link to the first four.

I’ve also been posting these on twitter so here’s a link to the twitter thread.

Cousin Greg - The Fool

Ewan - The Hermit

Logan - The Emperor

Waystar | Royco - The Tower

The depraved business family show falls pretty neatly in line with the major arcana so I had to do some Waite-Smith inspired fan art.

I have the other 18 sketched out as well so… there might be more to come if I can get around to doing the full drawings…

I wrote a poem back in March at the start of being in lockdown, then later felt like making it into a song. I ended up with something pretty gloomy sounding so I also tried out a sillier take on it. The gloomy version starts at 00:08 and then the silly version starts at 01:52.

Here’s the poem:

Still Life Is there some point where we choose this? These very days, say "yes, I'll do this"? Endlessly it's all been done before; Was right now what I just wanted more? Those cherry peaches did not tempt me; Thousands of years went by so empty. The watermelons that were star-beamed Still were not that of which I dreamed. But if they did and also if they were, If I was held or if I was returned, All that I really know is here and now - The past did live and so will we somehow.

I filled the whole sketchbook! Started filling it out just after midnight the morning of October 1st and just finished up after midnight this morning (October 31st).

For anyone curious to read my full inktober short story - 1 story told across 31 parts/31 different character POVs - but without having to suffer through reading my cursive, here’s a link to a pdf of it where it’s all typed up. (The story was inspired by a dream I had where demons were using the guise of filming a horror movie on a big estate with a cool old house while they were actually using the place to summon more demons.)

For anyone who’d want the added challenge of having to read my cursive, here are links to all 31 hand-inked parts:
