us

Reflecting on catching up (albeit briefly) with old friends despite the bleak circumstances that brought us back together…

Patron Saint of Overbearing Mothers. And absent fathers. This was a hard one to draw. The Overbearing mothers was suggested and then I added the Absent fathers. #patronSaint #dailydrawing

Inspired by the Delft figurines of the Dutch kissing boy and girl.

For May 15th, today is all Crush For this day, I decided to make an adorable couple between a seal and a sea lion because I thought they looked really cute that way

Squids with a spiritual side.

I went to sleep while going over various self-defense scenarios, and when I woke up this outfit in my head. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I'm sure there's some deep, dark, involved backstory behind that tatoo

Inspired by one of the bus routes I take back home from my Judo class in the evenings and how long said journey takes in terms of minutes… you’d think it was a quick trip but I assure you it’s not!

For May 14th, today is the day for rainbows. For this day, I decided to make Pond Dino Cookie. He's in a small pond on top of a lily pad, and suddenly he saw a beautiful rainbow next to the pond

Been using my papers at work for doodles again >.> it's been awhile

Poison arrow frog time! With some wisdom from the late, great José Mujica included… rest in power good sir.

Patron Saint of Forgotten Things. I started this one without writing down the name and then couldn't remember what it was supposed to be. So. A Patron Saint of Forgotten Things it is. I pray to it often.

I woke up at 5am(ish) last Sunday and not settling back to rest, I switched my radio on and hoped for the best. Next thing I know I’m half awake listening to one of Yo La Tengo’s more drone oriented songs. The track itself was 8 minutes long but felt longer… of course, this gave me ideas. What do you expect?

For May 13th, today it's a mermaid's turn. For this day, I decided to draw one of the Lalas mermaids along with her pet pufferfish who loves to throw water. She's Coral Sea Shells

I understand the mistake. But...I don't want to fix it...maybe later.

Precisely that!

Fineliner and felt pen on drawing paper.

Lindsey's prompt: Paris. This was my first ever attempt at continuous line drawing

Squirtle fan art time! My girlfriend’s been treating me again, can you tell?

For May 12th, today is the coral reef's turn. For this day, I decided to invite Aqua, who went out to explore the ocean and found a huge, incredible coral reef. They'd never seen anything like it

“You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.”

For May 10th, today is the day for bubbles. For this day, I decided to make Equilor, who, while swimming, came across a strange oyster, which, when opened, released the bubble motor

"Zombie? Undead? The mortally challenged?"

Fineliner and felt pen on drawing paper.

For the 9th of May, today is all about dreams. For this day, I decided to make Scorpi, who is sleeping in his room while dreaming that he's playing with a dolphin mixamal

The tables were covered in white paper. Crayons, pastels, and smooth sticks waited quietly. Then came Lucy’s glittery purse—her 8-year-old hands had filled it with stones to pass along, one by one, to the strangers around the table. We traced them. Pushed them. Held them. Then we let the colors lead: -Red for emotion. -Yellow for curiosity. -Blue for memory. Each color came with music, with story, with space. At the Museum of Wisconsin Art, we made marks not for meaning but for presence. Thank you to Ann Marie and MOWA for the invitation and trust. And thank you to the participants—some new friends, some old students—for showing up and making lines that listened before they spoke.

Patron Saint of small sorrows. A dead bee on a sidewalk, a dead plant, accidental break of a favorite cup. Small sorrows are many and everywhere. What is a patron saint you want to see? #patronSaint #dailydrawing
