Best possible way to kill a weeknight?
A screenshot from Kings Quest VI. It’s a genie leaning on a desk and facing a villain who is seated with their back to us.

Just kidding. I still don’t really know why this was my subject.

Truthfully the legs made it look too much like a bug and I don’t want to sketch anymore
An ink sketch of a butterfly. It has long legs at the back and that makes it a bug. I don’t really like bugs that much, but only because they feed spiders which aren’t even real sooooo

My cats keep posing for album art
A tabby in the foreground, a tuxie in the back. They’re not looking at each other but the air is just crackling with pre-fight enthusiasm. (Air not pictured)

“Hey. “

-Oregon
An absolutely stunning side view of a coastal scene. There is a small sandy beach and huge rocks in the water, but mostly the scene is mist and sky. Like Scotland. But wayyyyyy further west.

I feel like I’m so ready to write something.
A Smith Corona “Seventy” typewriter. Purchased recently and in excellent working order. She’s pretty: blue, clean. The light is purple because I don’t see great in bright light. Which is to say, I love how I’ll never have to adjust the brightness on this.

We had the most normal Portland day ever, minus waking up to a literal marathon outside.

We set out early and stayed around downtown. We split up (he had rehearsal) and I walked by myself around to get coffee. We saw friends, then we had lunch in the sun and randomly went shopping until about 3.
An unusually sunny day in Portland, Oregon, there are a few people walking around, a picnic table in the foreground with an umbrella with one next to it. The local light rail is in the center aside from being really quiet. It’s a normal beautiful day. Because fucking of course it is. It’s nice to get these warm days early in October before it gets really cold. They’re sending the fucking Texas National Guard people up here. Are you serious. Another early morning in Portland. An empty street. If I’m honest, I think I did see human feces on this sidewalk one time, but that was a long time ago. There’s a lot of really big dogs around too sometimes. Anyway, as a recovering New Yorker, I barely saw it. Also, Atlanta was way way worse. Don’t fuck with me about Atlanta. Atlanta is fucking dirty. An empty fountain in an empty square and a quiet part of Portland Oregon. This might’ve been yesterday, but look at it. Fucking look at it. Does this look like it needs to be a war zone? Why are they turning this into a war zone? This is a beautiful fucking city with beautiful fucking people. I can’t believe I get to live here. Look at this. Can’t you just imagine this in your town surrounded by tourists? And their boogers little kids climbing on everything? Look at this. I love it here.

Kitty Persuasion
A fairly beautiful grey tabby with big green eyes. She is in a tunnel but it kind of looks like a hood.

Another beautiful day in Portland, another painting

before anyone tries to mess it up
A tree with big branches outside a bar window. (The green leaves are absolutely radiating with life.) A painting of the tree outside the bar window. Portland is fine. Fuck the fascists.

She’s very excited
A very excited gray tabby, clinging ridiculously to a scratching post. Her face is hilarious with an undefined emotion.

Literally killing time waiting for Sonic
A hasty watercolor sketch of a suburban landscape. Basically just one curve in a road with a brick nameless building and some trees scattered

This is the cover of her memoir actually
A gray tabby is looking magnificent today, and celebrating by staring at you from the back of the sofa. Behind her is a kaiju mask, a stuffed elephant named Simon, a Nintendo Game Cube, and all kinds of nerd shit.

Ready to spend my senior years sketching waiting rooms
A watercolor sketch of a very bland doorway down a very bland hallway. Waiting rooms, am I right? Of course I am.
