I mostly worked on collages this day. Here is a gallery of where the 2026 batch is at.

little late for a march hare
ALT: ink and water-soluble crayon. portrait of a hare in some sort of clothing (badly sketched jacket I suppose). they look a little wistful I think.

2026 collage #1
I finally glued down the first of the collages I started to lay out in March. I think my practical collaging technique is getting better; this one is flat and everything is well glued down.
ALT: collage of magazine pictures, dominated by a sort of gargoyle with a belligerent frog climbing out it’s mouth, and flanked by a bosch club-wielding bird of prey. these images emerge out of a background of brown leaves and blue-green waters.

Ducklings Fix Everything.
ALT: water-soluble graphite doodle of a proud duckling with bowlegs and an open bill.

ice pond snack
ALT: water-soluble crayon. four little purple fish poke at a bit of fallen vegetation, concentric ripple rings in blue and green.

dancing blue
ALT: water-soluble crayon. a briefly sketched heron-like bird, blue and purple with orange bill next to a row or spoked circles, and a line of orange dots, all rather organic looking, in the upper left there is also what could be purple confetti. the background is all greens and blues, and very much in motion.

mouse howl
ALT: water-soluble crayon. a purple mouse takes up most of the page. it is evidently howling toward a crescent moon, you can tell by the blue swirl coming out of its mouth. it looks pretty happy.
14 April 2026
make of it what you will
ALT: water-soluble crayon, abstract. green and blue washy lines and stripes, with orange line and circle accents, purple and black ground. The composition is a little reminiscent of a ‘holy family’ theme, but maybe that’s just to my eyes.
13 April 2026
birthday rose – it’s my last day as a 67-year-old. general mayhem in the world notwithstanding, the past year has had its rewards in my little life. I’ll take it for what it is worth.
ALT: water-soluble crayon. a red rose bud nestles in rather grass-like green leaves, with celebratory spirals of blue and lavender under and above.
