Hey folks! Biz info and koi bag update since it’s been a minute— they’re gonna start their long boat ride to us on Saturday which will take about 45 days if all goes well. Why a fish needs to take a boat I do not know, but wish them luck on their journey and safe passage. Still up for preorder too!

The Phillips neighborhoods are being targeted because it has the highest percent of residents who are not US Citizens. This fund will help feed, provide basic necessities and allow our immigrant neighbors to stay housed for 65+ families (and counting).

We need an EVICTION MORATORIUM NOW.
Our neighbors risk being separated from their families when they go to work. They also run the risk of being displaced if they don’t.
Sadly, Mayor Frey refused to sign the resolution calling on the Governor to enact this moratorium.

Last night after we turned our phones off we looked thru our back window and saw a candle on our neighbors porch across the alley. We put a candle on our own porch and then a few minutes later saw several others do the same in response. RIP Alex

There are so many horrifying and touching photos, but this one (Stephen Maturen / Getty) feels like it tells an entire trilogy worth of stories. I hope this one and the lady with the broiler pan chest armor end up in museums.

Hey folks! The trans mutual aid org we work with could use some funds, their distribution pot is running fairly low. if you’ve got some dollars consider sending, 100% of your donation is redistributed directly to trans folks in our community. Puppy for visibility :)

The coveted Koi Fish Bag sample is finished and on the way to us for final approval! His spots are custom screen-printed on a large piece of canvas from which the fish pieces are cut, so each fish will be unique :) Like him? You can preorder him RIGHT NOW! curlworks.net

Some flowers inspired by a print on my wall by Leigh Ellexon and then some ducks moving fast. Then some ephemera and the back cover.
I start my sketchbooks from the back, so I try to write where and when I bought it in the front (back) cover. Thanks for following along with me and happy 2026!

I’m frankly just baffled and pretty upset for the folks affected that TaxBadger could put so many people so deeply in debt, vanish and ghost his clients for years, and then come back and try to peddle his services again and say “well… nobody told me there were any issues.. so…”
I vaguely remember (would love clarification, his tweets are gone) in 2021 he tweeted that he was not able to communicate anymore with the clients he screwed over, for some reason or another. this was a big deal on twitter at the time so I’m not sure how he was unaware!

I’m not a big callout guy, but I feel it’s my duty to the community to share that I have several friends who, to this day, are paying the (EXPENSIVE) consequences of working with TaxBadger after he biffed their taxes and then ghosted them. I didn’t know that he was back, so here’s your buyer beware.
As a reminder, Tax Badger Tax Office is open for business, ready to help you navigate this crazy year (and into the future!)
Licensed for all states, at the federal, state, and municipal level.
Rates are 200/hr, charged in quarter hour increments.
Taking on a limited number of clients this year!

The pixelated flowers were inspired by a knit sweater Carrie Bradshaw was wearing somewhere in season 3 or 4 of Sex and the City. More watercolor and gouache stuff.

Parrots on some sunflowers (forget which kind, oops) some assorted long fish and assorted long pens. I really like the feather texture that I did on that bird facing away.
We're out of office til Jan 5, see you later!

Turkeys! Copics + ink + prismacolor. I love working with copics in this sketchbook but it does bleed thru to the other side which can be frustrating when I end up drawing something that I really like on the other side of the paper.
Reminder that we're out of office til Jan 5. See u then!
