I think she looks like a Ponzu!

I don't know if it's just that I'm out of practice or if I've got some kind of mental block going on, but I was so frustrated with myself.

Coming back from break to share something that happened this weekend.

At one point I was bored while working at the manga library table, so I decided to draw. I really wanted to draw Penelope or Diana since it's been so long, and I couldn't do it. Everything I tried just didn't look right.

#durhamnc folks!! I happened upon the Books with Friends pickup location for Friends of Durham Library while I was at the DMV, and it’s SO COOL!! the pickup is for online orders and they carry a bunch of books for very cheap. your orders support the library! 📚 take a peep!

I'm just saying, we could settle this with swords, instead of 30+ emails. 🤺

The beads read "this email could have been a duel | fight me"

@zippyelly.com ‘s OC Diana leaning against a tree.

May come back to this with some color but I’m esp proud of the hair.
Was also reminded myself that it’s much easier for me to draw women. 😆

I just spent the last few hours driving a U-Haul around town then loading a traveling library into it

Happy International Lesbian Day!

I worked in a local history department at one point, and we had so many obscure records! We had a few store ledgers in the archives and that ended up coming in handy for someone's genealogy project

Same! 😂

Thank you to everyone who's responded so far! I'm sharing responses with the family member who inspired this post, and it's definitely helping them turn their opinions around.

The last time I worked in a public library, we were absolutely a hub for people going through homelessness. I loved it when I could help them with something that made things a little less daunting.

ZippyElly @zippyelly.com · 8d

Just gotta keep pushing for gigs after that 💪

ZippyElly @zippyelly.com · 8d

Apparently the universe was listening because I just booked a gig for November!! 😭💕

Apparently the way I arranged the dressing room was so nice the wardrobe supervisor took pictures so he could replicate it at the next stop lmao

Working my first wardrobe gig in months, and now I know that this really is where I belong.

I've missed this so much, I can't believe I let the tour that let me go get to me like that.

I am really damn good at what I do, and if they couldn't see that then sucks to be them. 🤷‍♀️

...so I got email confirmation that I'm not coming back to the show I've been touring with. I had a feeling it was coming when my contract didn't get renewed, but seeing "we will be moving in another direction with the wardrobe position that you held" written out is making me physically ill

What a mood, Cleo

Cleo, a tabby calico cat, lays on a cardboard scratcher like a little chaise lounge. She's yawning!
