Ferdinand
ALT: water-soluble crayon and graphite, abstract. the figure on the page has vaguely bovine features and seems to be in an attitude of rest among a field of flowers.

necessary repose
ALT: water-soluble crayon and ink. An abstracted figure lies meltingly on the ground with a red, somewhat oppressive cloud cover above like a weighted blanket hovering and maybe looming.

civil discourse
ALT: ink and water-soluble crayon, abstract calligraphic. it’s lots of people drawn as sort of stick figures, upside-down and upside-right (as my children used to say). they may be communicating, but it all looks pretty spiky and messy.

baking for comfort in a time of stress
ALT: ink and water-soluble crayon, abstract. but it seems to show a sun in a box like an oven, maybe viewed through a window framed by a dead tree and a living vine. the colors are mainly warm yellows and oranges, so very optimistical.

interior refuge
ALT: water-soluble crayon, abstract. muted greens and oranges, organic shapes that are sort of stringy and a little globby. it’s a little like a trip into my sinuses maybe through the ear canal.

danceaway the old bad news
ALT: water-soluble crayon and graphite. very loose and messy, three green people in motion. sludgy gray clouds and ground, and bright orange ribbons weaving through, like a solid horn section. it was my first time out dancing since the hip replacement, huzzah!

webbing
ALT: ink and water-soluble crayon. it’s an orange capped mushroom, quite vibrant, embedded in a woven swoop of green fading to brown in sort of an infinity ribbon

woodswalk
ALT: water-soluble crayon, cartoon. two figures go walking in the woods with something that was trying to be a dog but got rendered as a smudge. the figures are shaped like soft triangles with big orange feet, and they have circle-shapes to denote faces in the peak of their heads. the setting is trees and dappled shade.

fire ice
ALT: water-soluble crayon, acrylic paint, ink. it says “FIRE” in red and “ICE” in blue, and there’s an ink sketch of someone superimposed on the words, with their fist upraised.

keep
ALT: ink and water-soluble crayon. decorative, abstract. A figure knees holding a heart in the curl of their hands. blue flowing garments, a big foot, a long snakey neck lets the head gaze across and down toward the heart it is guarding.
