Comics poet John Burgess recently assembled a fascinating collection of interpretations of #Basho's famous #haiku, and put out the call for #PoetryComics versions of it as well. That spurred me to clean up my version, and here it is! I've linked to John's website in my (public) Patreon post for this #comic — check it out, his post is a fascinating read:

It makes me so happy to see this pop up in my feed from 8 years ago. I was so proud of this, and so proud to participate in the artists' showcase I created this for! The theme was "sound". I wracked my brains to come up with an idea that didn't involve drawings of headphones, musical instruments, boom boxes, or dancing, and ended up creating two submissions I was really proud of. I couldn't decide which one to submit, so the showcase organizer picked this one. 1/

And just like that, the poetry comics chapbook is *FINISHED*.❤️ OMG, can you believe it? I can't. Not just the comics, but *all* of it. Wow.
Since I posted this drawing to Patreon, I've been busy working on a website for the chapbook, figuring out fundraising ideas, and talking to the printer. I'm thinking of offering this particular drawing as a print — what do you think? Wouldn't this crow look great on your wall? *I* think so!
I'm both over-the-top excited to finally be done, and utterly at a loss for how to celebrate. Isn't that weird? So I'm trying to do that at least a little bit right here, right now. I made a Really Cool Thing! I still have to *get it out into the world* — but I made The Thing, and it's beautiful, and I'm proud. /1

The last comic for my poetry comics chapbook is finally DONE! At long freaking last! I can't believe it!
Some of you may remember when I posted this panel last fall. I don't know why I get stuck on the things I get stuck on, but I was stuck on this. And a lot of you offered up some really helpful feedback — *thank you* for that! It really helped. I still had to sit with it awhile & work on other things...but I finally got there, & got it done. Yippee! Thanks so much for the vote of confidence so many of you offered. 🥰

Anyone else a little flummoxed by planning 2021? I know life is *always* uncertain, but...yeesh. How are you navigating this? How do you make plans around everything that's unknowable right now?

The world is so freaking overwhelming right now - it's not just me, right? Like this past week, FFS, I don't even know what to say about it. Right? I feel like we're all slogging up a really steep, rocky incline. I keep looking up and out to orient myself to the larger landscape & to gauge the topography, and then staring determinedly back down at my feet for a bit, thinking only of putting one foot in front of the other - because if I spend too much time thinking about how steep the damned hill is, it's too much & I lose the will for it. And I guess the future is like a path with a lot of switchbacks where, no matter how hard we look, it's impossible to know exactly where it will lead, or exactly how far along we are. The future is obscured by trees. /1
