journal

"Hold your head up, you silly girl. Look what you've done. When you find yourself in the thick of it, help yourself to a bit of what is all around you, silly girl." Frustration, frustration, and the anxiety that goes hand-in-hand with it. It's hard to let these things go.

Another journal page. Sketches of people getting out and about around town and at hiking areas.

When you find a mondegreen in one of your favourite Magnetic Fields songs and it sets off your creativity... Can’t be only one mishearing things here? Stephin Merritt sure knew how to mumble back in the ‘90s, that’s for certain: https://youtu.be/UGNKhVJbDM8

Another page from my drawing journal. I sketch based on photos taken of people, places, things, doings--often same day.

Activity at the river. Day in the life...sketching journal

Caffeine rushes are essential to creativity (at least here!).

Hoot-hoot and all that, hehehe.

Back to more surreal programming.

Possibly inspired by current events.

We'll see what the month brings... I'm getting back into the swing of things and I'm starting to journal again. November has been good so far.

A page from my daily journal

I started a new art journal.

I started a graphic journal as homework for a Domestika course. It's really helpful for me. Somehow, it frees me up.

work notes, sense of self and higher questions.. i've decided not to edit out weird notes and random doodles and ideas that arent fleshed out

i still think about you often and wonder what you're doing

A page from my Writer's Bujo.

Time and space adventurings.

It's not quite September yet, but I finished my bullet journal sketch for next month a few minutes ago. "Come Down in Time" by Elton John, the second song on the first side of 'Tumbleweed Connection.' I'm not sure what to expect with the starting of school, with senior year as a whole, and what the end of 2020 or 2021 will bring. It feels like I'm hearing all this static and incomprehensible noise, but I open my eyes and see nothing else there, simply a dark open space.

I know this is simpler and a quicker piece, but this is the drawing for my August journal. I started doing these back in March, with each month's drawing being based off a song. This month is "Golden Slumbers" by the Beatles, July was "Tower of Babel" by Elton John. (The pencil sketch eye I previously posted is indeed now in my journal.)

Keeping Sane Covid-19
