I really have no idea what’s going to happen on the paper when I first sit down to draw. Today I started late, after a long day of meetings, and only had a half hour or so before I needed to get to bed. I’ve been irritable and grumpy, and really half-expected to produce a mysterious scary demon, but this is what happened. Maybe the root of my anger is really sorrow, and I need the comforting and the laughter.
A Facebook friend shared a post about how a long-term light capture photograph of an apparently empty square of the night sky revealed thousands and thousands of distant stars and galaxies. It is an amazing web of matter and energy that we are such a tiny part of. And I’m grateful for openings that remind me how vast is the mystery.
