Once upon a time we were instructed to flatten the curve.
We could iron the wrinkles.
Today we no longer flatten the curve.
Instead we see the curve as a feature.
Like linen pants.

You canceled your concert
Due to unspecified illness.
Which is specifically strange
When we know we are specifically in a surge
Of a specific illness that is
Specifically happening even when we don't want to specify that it is.

The last comic for my poetry comics chapbook is finally DONE! At long freaking last! I can't believe it!

Some of you may remember when I posted this panel last fall. I don't know why I get stuck on the things I get stuck on, but I was stuck on this. And a lot of you offered up some really helpful feedback — *thank you* for that! It really helped. I still had to sit with it awhile & work on other things...but I finally got there, & got it done. Yippee! Thanks so much for the vote of confidence so many of you offered. 🥰

How to make video more tolerable when it is keeping you pinned in place to watch it: sketch the people talking.
I really like this particular effect of blending color pens with water, when I can get it right. I had so much fun trying that I bought myself MOAR DIFFERENT PENS that I think will work even better. The only reason I could do this is because of my dear patrons! Like a lot of folks, I'm in economic free-fall right now & it's pretty scary. But thanks to my amazing patrons, I can still buy art supplies & pay for the software I need. I am so, so grateful for this. ❤️

Pigeons, art supplies, suggestions for art journaling & activities for homeschooling - this post has it all, tied together in my meandering way. 🙃 Let me know what you think! And if you like it, please share. Maybe you know some folks who need some creative ideas for their kids? ❤

#comics #poetrycomics #comicspoetry #chapbooks #pandemicpoetry #pandemicart #illustration #disabledartist #patreon #supportartists #inktober #inktober2022 #inktober22 Guess what? My poetry comics chapbook has a title, woohoo! It's called _First Flight_, and I'm really proud of how it's coming together! Progress on the last few finishing touches feels painfully sloooooooowww...but probably that's just because I'm so eager to get it out into the world. Sooooon...!!!
Here's another peek at how the cover art is coming along. Still not done yet, but getting much closer! If you're interested in reading more about my process, the post for this version is at:

...From there, you can find links to previous versions, & lots of other cool stuff. These are the sorts of process posts I normally only share with patrons, but I'm so eager to share the chapbook with you all!
