Literally anyone: So how are you today? Me:

I can't draw to save my life, and I'll confess that I've always been a little jealous of the fan art I see on Instagram.

When I'm not watching theater, I'm sewing. A few years ago I took a class with a woman named Ashely Nickels who taught about how to combine watercolors with free motion quilting to create typography.

In honor of the London 2023 run ending tomorrow, here are two Groundhog Day-inspired pieces that I recently made.

The material is plain cotton muslin, and the colors are done via fabric paint. I quilted over the fabric paint for the typography. For the sun / snowflake, I used watercolors for the outline, and then filled it the lines with quilting. The rest of the "texture" is done via regular ole quilting that blends into the white background.

(I did send these two as gifts to Tanisha and Andy respectively, so if you've seen these floating around Instagram, that's me XD)

Some important content here that has been bothering me since 2017, when I got the start time of Groundhog Day wrong and ended up in the theater super early:

Before the show, we see the news screens on stage cycle through Phil giving different forecasts, including the infamous "flood story", plus a story about local apples.

Which brings us to this gem.

What in the name of global warming is happening to the weather in Pittsburgh???

No wonder Phil got trapped in a time loop, if he's living in a universe where Pittsburgh is 35 degrees AT THE SAME TIME THAT NEARBY CITIES ARE IN 110 DEGREES PLUS WEATHER.

(For the record, this picture was taken in 2023 in London, but the exact same thing happened in 2017 on Broadway).

“A tilt-a-whirl!” “Really?” “Oh, come on, it’ll be fun. Don’t be such a slug! “I am not a slug!”

Happy Groundhog Day.  ❄️️☀️❄️️☀️❄️️☀️

Groundhog Day and the beauty of change

Groundhog Day is a show that was close to perfect right out of the gate. And yet, from its first public performance in July 2016 right through to the revival currently running at the Old Vic, its c…

Wrote about Groundhog Day returning, the changes I saw in 2016 & 2023, and what it all means to me.

But I'm here And I'm fine And I'm seeing you, for the first time

Seeing You, Groundhog Day Musical by Tim Minchin

(featuring one of my favourite scenes in the musical, apart from Hope and Day 2 when Phil Connors yelled "Suck my balls, I'm OUT")

I've had some people coming to me with interest in printed copies of this and the 'If I had my time again' artwork (see here), so if you would like one please DM me! There will be a reimbursement cost involved but always happy to chat through. :)

what is this gender and can I get it without going through the douchebag arc

[matataku-hoshi]

I just saw Barbie last night, but somehow I didn't make this connection until now.

Mind = 🤯

[bullyapologist]

how many days IS this holiday?

[colemckenzies]

just hit me the poetic beauty of the most different song for 2023 groundhog day being 'if i had my time again'

[matataku-hoshi]

New trailer dropped for the 2023 Old Vic production of Groundhog Day. I could do without the pull quotes obstructing the footage, but it's nice to see the little moments captured.
