Been a minute since I've been here. Nice to see friends again here!
Trying to kick off a regular posting of work. Starting with some journal sketchbook pages soon. Counting my current one that's WIP for 2025, it'll be ten years worth.

Restorative long weekend with kiddos and @ccampbellart.bsky.social
Favorite quote after kids have a discussion with a hiker comparing walking sticks (they had sticks, she had poles), said by the younger with a wistful sigh: “That human is my friend now.”

For the last few years leading up to Valentine’s Day, my two boys and I make a gigantic mess and somehow end up with a big pile of hand-made cards for loved ones and their friends.
The process can get a bit wild and I try to embrace the chaos of it.

Currently helping my 6yo play a bit of Mario+Rabbids: Sparks of Hope and remembering how surprisingly good this game is.
Good depth, and good Mario story with a touch of darkness to it. Some vines of Super Mario RPG.

In grade school I had been so confused.
How had people let Hitler rise to power?
How had people let the McCarthy era happen?
And then now it’s, “Ah. This is how.”
We’re supposed to learn from history. Not repeat the mistakes of the past.

It’s unfortunate that this is behind a paywall, but fwiw you can start a free trial, read the article, and cancel right after…

I say this to folks a lot, too.
It doesn’t need to be a big, ambitious thing. You don’t need to do it daily or fill pages.
Add sketches! Add stickers! Mess around on pages & write a few lines about what happened one day/week/month.
You’ll never regret spending even a few minutes a week on it.

This is your reminder if you wanted to start journaling in 2016 but didn't (me!) now's a great time to start.

This week I was telling a team member that my job these days is just dancing on the razor’s edge of how vague to be for different situations.
You could say that in the opposite way and it’s about how precise to be. But in this case he was literally asking me to “be more vague”.

A parenting trick is that if you want your kids playing in a specific spot start an intentionally non-kid project in that exact spot.

I love this, whenever I see it. Where the morning sun is just over the cusp of freezing but hasn’t yet touched the stretches of shade. I find it a lot here in BC. You can feel yourself at the threshold.

Collaboration sketch with my six year old. I did most of the drawing and he did most of the painting.
When I showed him my last bit of work he said “perfect except for the weird eyes.”
