My studio space in downtown Ojai has been a refuge during this last year of graphic novel-making, niche freelancing, community building, and, above all, caregiving. I'm doing a livestream tour at noon today if any of you digital friends wanna come say hello. www.patreon.com/posts/novemb...

Finally made myself a video of a cartoonist warm-up routine from @kriotaw.bsky.social's fantastic book DRAW STRONGER. It ain't high art, but it *has* gotten me to actually do the exercises after years of owning the book. Maybe it'll help you, too: www.patreon.com/posts/draw-s...

Deeply grateful to @sarahgailey.bsky.social for publishing this essay this week. I first drafted it a year ago, and so much has changed in the interim, but the first rain of the season blew through last night and today I'm on my knees, planting. So I guess some things haven't changed much at all.
Today's Love Letter comes from the luminous Lucy Bellwood - a reflection on caring for her father, Peter, and on the immortality to be found in gathering seeds.

Had the immense pleasure of designing a logo for the robot-run noodle house in @annaleen.bsky.social's forthcoming novella AUTOMATIC NOODLE! It's racking up starred reviews and comes out on August 5th. Big thanks to @monteiro.bsky.social for bringing me on to make goofy shit. automaticnoodle.website
