If my brain is a tangled string, twisted with knot

If my brain is a tangled string, twisted with knots and broken ends, it's paint, water, and a good pulpy paper that settles it smooth again. I'm grateful for this little desk and its layers of grief. You gotta have a space to lay it all out and blink through, clear eyes and heart. Whatever your process is, may it bring focus to the road ahead. We're going to need it.

Welcoming the slow return of longer days and hope

Welcoming the slow return of longer days and hope for a new year. I get hopeful and optimistic every year, but goodness, 2020 has set the lowest bar fathomable. It's gotta get just a little better, right? A tiny bit? Universe? U there?

I cleaned out my desk and found all sorts of meeting doodles from my last 4 years of work. Nothing has changed in my note taking habits since middle school. (seriously, tho. take care of that colon. I mean it.)

I play a lot. I test things out and take notes: what feels right? What feels forced? What feels like ME? I'm in awe of artists who've developed a clear style and vibe, no doubt the results of years and years of their own tests. My sketchbooks have pages and pages of play. My digital sketchbook looks like 12 different artists snuck in there and started working. But I'm starting to see similarities, in the colors I choose, in the voice, and in the way I put materials on paper or make lines on an iPad.

They say that play is how children "work" and figure out the world. When did we adults decide to muck it all up? Keep playing.

Something was off with my garden soil this year, everything was just kind of meh. So now we work to build it back up and rest for winter. We give our gardens mercy, and we care for them and try again. (Learning to give myself the same.)

Here is an anxiety dream in which I stumble upon a quaint little shop in the middle of the desert while on a road trip with my husband. 💀⚰️

Some of y’all have never had a slug zig zag across the cold, damp garden clogs that you keep on the porch doormat, and it shows.
