I draw because I can and because sometimes a thing tickles my brain and I have to draw it.

Many many years ago, before I had a kid, before that pregnancy flipped the switch and triggered my body to develop autoimmune disorders and chronic pain…
I was a social political activist. The fist fights with nazi wannabes kind. I’ve been injured, stalked, and harassed by bootlickers, racists,

My coworkers consistently display inappropriate pda and sleep on the job🙄🤣

Seriously though, they were being so cute I had to take pictures.

FanExpo Cleveland was awesome. Now I’m fighting a cold. It’s fine. I did not get into the show I applied to for April so I have a month to make as many monsters as I can because I have 3 shows in May! Alt Street Market, FanExpo Philly, and the Thursday market at Colossal Con.

I've started to realize that Anne Frank and her family wouldn't have been safe around a lot of people I know and loved and once respected.

That's not something you get over.

I knew this weekend would be a struggle. I’m flaring, I’m mostly on my own (think I might have at least a little help tomorrow), then I left the door open when I got home 😱 and this jerk got out.

A little test run of this year’s set up. The monsters are packed, the gear is ready to go into the car Thursday evening, and I can’t wait to set up and see everyone Friday! We’ll be at table A421. I love that the first convention of the year is in my home city. #fanexpocleveland #artistalley

More labs came back. Multiple organ systems are involved.
Cool beans. Maybe I’m finally sick enough for a formal diagnosis.
There’s still a half dozen tests to go that do not involve bloodwork.

My former doctor was sure it’s lupus, I think she was right.

I’m not feeling great today so I made a comfy nest using the inflatable mattress, blankets, and pillows. This is where I’m working.
I had new labs run yesterday and once again there’s wonky shit going on.

I am lucky in that I rarely experience the “hate my art” thing so many go through.

Once I paint them and get them finished they become this little creature and it’s like
“Oh, hello, it’s nice to meet you”

Sewing, again. So much sewing.

Watching my kid grow up with lifelong friends makes me miss my own friends group from when I was this age.
It’s his 18th birthday party. 3 of the boys in this picture I’ve known since they were in elementary school. I couldn’t pick better friends for him if I tried.
March 8, 2025 at 11:55 PM
Also I won at parenting, kid loved his birthday gift so much he called me a GOAT on his TikTok account.

Last of the batch. I’ll be sewing these tomorrow. Initially I thought I’d go straight to cutting the next batch….. but hand stitching can be tedious so I’m going to sculpt monster faces before I cut more fabric.

This is my favorite picture from when Jon was a baby. That tiny baby is now 6’2” and 18 years old. He still loves dinosaurs, sharks, and Godzilla.

Sewing, so much sewing. My coworkers refuse to do anything but nap while I work.

Sewing sewing sewing. This is my office today.

The oldest cat baby Princess Fiona and her witch eye. That scared eye is what made her stand out at the rescue.
