Inktober Guest Stars

Elephants and spiders and dragons and toads and…Great Old Ones and…fire demons…and horses and hedgehogs, oh my! I drew a lot of creatures that were not mice for Inktober this year. Just to make the challenge extra-challenging, many of them I have not tried to draw in years (horses, dragons), and I’m sure I’ve never tried to draw a cuttlefish before.

It’s a Picasso Morning

There’s a bad hair day, and then there’s…..

From Q is for Quarantine: A Coronavirus Alphabet

(I am STILL working on Q is for Quarantine…as always, just out of sheer stubbornness. I’m still here, so this book is going to exist.)

From the original post:

This wasn’t part of the original alphabet I created in April 2020, because “long-haul covid” or “long covid” were terms only just coming into existence then–but it certainly deserves a place in this collection.

One of the things that stood out to me, once I discovered other covid long-haulers, was that we were all keeping count of the days we had been ill. I stopped counting days at 100, and started counting months…and now, years. It has indeed been a long road.

March

Happy Spring! Pack your umbrella.
