Happy Monday! Since last time, Canadian Thanksgiving descended and left, in its wake a trail of cranberry sauce. Some sketches: Plane sketch of my sister doing her homework on the plane (a miracle!). And now, the actual update. It’s been a while since the last one for this mega-checkbox. I feel like it should be more […]
1000 f***ing heads
hold the pumpkin spice lattes until actual fall, please
First off, a moment for the wounded, the killed, and the senseless violence in Charlottesville, for all the families and loved ones and with the thousands who gathered together in vigil. I was scrolling down my Facebook feed (as one is oft to do when one is trying to procrastinate), and something bright and orange […]

I was definitely inspired by Käthe Kollwitz – her […]

It’s actually an art challenge I decided to participate in back when I was a wee babe foolish to think that I would actually accomplish this in some reasonable amount of time, but since I am more stubborn than the gum on […]
