Sketchbook: The Cutest First Responder

I saw an actual Dalmatian in an FDNY fire truck today and just about lost my mind :)

Big thank you to first responders in NYC and everywhere.

Have a good weekend. Stay safe, stay well.

Therapy, Sometimes

I'm finding therapy helpful and necessary, even on days when it feels like there's not much progress happening. The mental health gains seem to be incremental and gradual over a long-term.

May you stay well, despite the surface ups and downs

Fashion Cue Cardigan

The cardigan tells me I'm working, just like in "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood."

Thanks for your patience as I juggle a few personal matters. I'm still trying to share new drawings; I've just been off a set schedule.

Hope everyone is staying healthy and in good spirits. Thanks for reading.

May We Live In Boring Times

May we live in very chill, very boring times...and may everybody in the country take a mild tranquilizer this week.

Temporary meditation mantra and just for fun sketchbook drawing. Stay safe and sane.

Be Afraid Internet

New sketchbook cartoon about how the internet keeps feeding us endless reasons to be afraid. I should probably start watching my internet diet. 

Take care, everyone; stay safe and sane.

The Joy Of Lint

Our world is topsy-turvy right now (and maybe it always has been). 

This week, I listened to a panel of writers and editors give their best advice to new writers. Nicole Chung, panelist and author of All You Can Ever Know, offered this reminder, which I am paraphrasing: you have a right to whatever joy you can find in these difficult times. It's okay to find the fun in your work and play, especially now.

I needed to hear it and so I'm sharing it, in case you need the reminder too.

Take care and thanks for reading

I think we need each other more than ever right now.

Stay safe, stay in touch, and take care of each other.

My Week In A Nutshell

What a start! Here we go...

A new journal comic about a week of rollercoaster emotions. New pandemic strains, political process, and the violent mob at the U.S. Capitol yesterday, all on my mind. Everyone, stay safe, stay sane.
