Day 18 of #frostanddraw2025: Parade! I went very niche w/ Parade (1917), w/ music by Erik Satie & design by Picasso. It was referred to by Apollinaire as "une sorte de surréalisme." I added a touch of holiday color to the horse costume - a holiday parade!

Pinhole photos are new to me, but I'm impressed that I took these with a soda can AND developed the photo paper with basil, baking soda, and Emergen-C!

Day 7 of #frostanddraw2025 is Warm Winter. I grew up in Southern California, so every winter was warm. We had a banana tree in our backyard, and that's where I got the idea for a holiday banana!

Krampus (2015) and Hereditary (2018) are (reductively) the same in that Toni Collette as a mother gets wrapped up in occult death games involving supernatural forces and family.

Day 2 of #frostanddraw2025 is Mailbox! Anyone else had a similar situation? Once I had a gift delivered that fit in the mailbox... but was stuck behind the door. I had to rip open the package to get the item. Anyway, hope y'all get some gifts safely and unbroken!

It's Day 1 of #frostanddraw2025! For "Bells," I chose to block print a German-suited card (acorns, leaves, hearts, bells). What's more, I used my handmade paper to do it!
