come on tie my shoe, silver plate.
ALT: ink drawing, cartoonish. A person dressed in red, with a rather scary little green face is kicking up or leaning over with one hand reaching toward one foot uplifted, and not quite reaching it.

big ol gull
ALT: ink drawing in blues and brown, of something that looks like a very round gull with a weird, too-big beak, standing in a nest, or maybe a pile of trash. It’s pretty loosely drawn, not realistic at all.

gentle garden meditation to relieve pain and stress
ALT: ink drawing, decorative. Pale purple grid, a bit like a plaid pattern, overlaid with soft curling vines with little leaves, and interspersed with stars and bubbles.

water falls
ALT: graphite and ink drawing. two beings, humanoid but with teddy bear ears, seem to be playing in a waterfall or dome, with maybe rain outside. some trails of imaginary writing on the walls or in the water.

busybug
I’m back from my cold and wet hiatus. Many lovely moments despite the weather. But very nice to be warm and dry, and cycling through massive piles of laundry.
ALT: water-soluble crayon drawing, zoomed in on a fanciful colorful bug-like critter. it’s yellow-green, has magenta spots in a line down its side, and some improbable number of spiky thorn-like legs.

travel anxiety
I’m about to head out for a long weekend stay in unheated space, with the forecast being rainy and temps in the 30’s and 40s (fahrenheit). I may not make any art! The challenge of staying warm and dry might just be enough for now.
spare thoughts for the homeless, for people whose dwellings and towns have been bombed, for people who are losing any sense of security.
gratitude that I will (insh’allah) be returning to loving family and warm, dry housing at the end of the trip.
ALT: graphite and crayon drawing, really not much more than a scribble. I think it looks like a rather over-dramatic heron creature, emoting about their personal difficulties.

their majesty metal bug
ALT: crayon drawing, abstract, in gold and red. These are shapes I like to draw. This looks to me like a portrait of an insect, with curly antennae and a red cape.

armored elegance
ALT: ink and graphite drawing, abstracted bust of someone with a smooth face like a shield, plumes on their head, from the side view they are looking over their shoulder, past you. In reds and dark purple. the shoulder also seems armored, and maybe a large metal ear ornament.

glyphic messenger
ALT: ink drawing. stylized, calligraphic figure of a running being, carrying a spiral like a seashell or shield, their “head” is four apostrophes with lines above and below, and three exclamations like plumes on top. Decorative swirly things in brown and black border the sides of the page.

seabird
ALT: ink drawing, abstract, a duck or gull-like avian floating on water under a big red sun
