Do you need to wipe away the last project to take on the next? My last project was spending 2 years getting my MFA degree in 2024.Then 23 days later starting as a full time college assistant professor. It’s been Good things, tough things, some really tough things. Always, back to the drawing board.

#hourlycomics every year are so enjoyable. I have yet to have a year that I can enjoy making them. This year… I sat down to draw and the whir of dread in my head overtook all. Dread. Dreaaaad. So much, too much. How are you doing over there?

Perhaps longing to hide in a handbag is how you feel as well. I certainly feel like a perturbed Pomeranian, self protective and unsure about interaction. But alas, the life of a freelance illustrator requires promotion. So here I am posting and working on a picture book dummy for this guy. #kidlit

Art in progress from my #mfa thesis, drawing 100 #womenofillustration Angel de Cora Dietz is the heart of the project. She is buried just ten minutes from my house. I have been a working illustrator for over thirty years and never heard of her. My hope is to teach about all of these omitted women.
