She’s not here so I can share in semi secret. 😎 Fingers crossed I think of clever titles before I mail them

I haven’t felt like much of an artist lately, but I just varnished two paintings for a friend and that left me with some ENERGY for sure

The latest Sufjan album in the GOOD HEADPHONES oh my word

Volunteering on Saturday mornings means I miss my good animal shows 😞

A single panel comic is actually separated in two halves. The first half there is a very very high and tall pile of round gray boulders. To the left of these boulders, a woman in a messy bun who is smaller than the very first cornerstone boulder is looking up at all of them overwhelmed. But in the other half everything is different, because the boulders have been painted to all look like pumpkins. A bucket of orange paint sits next to the woman with the messy bun but is currently painting the closest pump and to her and she looks a little happier! The gray and the jungle left is captioned and handwriting "my problems" and the orange pile on the right is labeled "My problems in October"

People are getting copies of my new book a week early somehow and sending me pictures and OH MAN this is so cool

I am playing fantasy football. My strategy: only have players from animal teams. I drafted from the teams whose animal made the most sense in the role’s narrative. Sturdy animals for RBs. Bird WRs. Etc. Highly recommend.

This looks both gorgeous and terrifying 😄

HELL YES

Painting poems lately instead of writing them, but I do miss the texture of words on a page. If this doesn’t make sense, that’s totally cool. I woke up way too early today and need a nap.
