coffee, dessert and the octopus ordeal

Will you join me for some pie? I have this vintage Danish-modern dish set as well as some delicious pie I made.

This octopus is pissed - he has a specific "comfortable zone" in which he allows others to approach him. These fish got a bit too close.

Recent Characters and Lettering

Here are a few recent drawings - a crane, some love you lettering, and shoes with socks.

I have been thinking of these "monstie" characters - each depicting a different emotion.

Gardening, Writing, Rejuvenating

Writing and gardening are kind of similar. I think with writing, you are nurturing your emotions and thoughts you maybe didn't know you had. These grow into your beliefs and how your world is shaped. Gardening takes nurturing and patience - and tending to it every day. Both of these activities bring about what can be rich and valuable products.

Me and Lisa

Me and my sister have nicknames for each other. I miss her.

I've got big feet and remembering the days when it was quieter

Here are a few drawings, integrated into my journaling. Been trying to write down my thoughts every day and draw from reality. I am valuing the warm days of summer, as I know they wont be here forever.
