Joy in melancholia; all we have is each other; political witchery; cats are the best; maker of things, drawings, and spooky music; redistributer of free food; there is no scarcity, only inequity.
This woodpecker has a message to share with you… tomorrow.

In my commitment to ease-up on myself this year, I am letting myself finish this drawing tomorrow. Good night!

The whiskers are always the last thing I do. Work in progress. Almost ready to submit to the Wobbly Times. Maybe you have something to submit, too?

#iww #draweveryday #drawing #cat #sabocat
A year ago today, on my 50th birthday, I am embarked on an endeavor to draw every day for a year. I did it. I only missed a few days, when I was really sick and one time when I was camping. I wanted to do this because I know I am most productive when I’m held accountable, even if the accountability I feel from others is an illusion (I know none of you all would be mad at me if I missed some days!) I also wanted to push myself to be free with my drawings, less precious, looser. I wanted to see how my digital drawing style would change if I really stuck to it. I wanted to learn what I really loved drawing, rather than what I thought I should draw. I wanted to get more vulnerable with my drawings and push myself to share them, even if I wasn’t sure I wanted to. I wanted to see how my activist work would show up in my drawings. (That last one is still not happening enough to my satisfaction and I want to keep working on that.)

I’m not sure I can keep up another #draweveryday streak for another year. I also write music and poetry and that has kinda fallen to the wayside, so I might want to focus on that this year. Then again, my brain sure does cling to a routine, so… so here’s a lizard! I’m going to try to let myself have some days off and be less rigid with it, but I think you can expect more #drawalmosteveryday posts.

Almost done with this piece! And, sadly, it is for a publication submission, so it might be a while before you see the full reveal! Don’t worry though. Time flies.
