We were at the farmer’s market today by the shop, and everyone was really nice. I ate a ham and cheese croissant and a sweet potato sandwich. The lady next to me gave me a pink iced tea. They had a live string band. It was so dang pleasant.

I’ve been doing a lot of memorial pet portraits, and to get a cheer-up, change-of-pace, I drew a ton of cartoon dogs! My favorite here is Monchi, the pug from The Mitchells vs. the Machines.

I made an iron-on t-shirt I can wear to the store. It’s got the logo and address really big on the back. It looks nice, but man, that was challenging. I think I will hire a pro for more of them.

I drew it myself. It’s a goofy sketch, and it’s not AI. It sounds like it wastes water, yoinks everyone’s ideas, and adds too many fingers to portraits. Draw stuff yourself! If you can’t draw yet, hire an illustrator to do it. They’ll be thrilled.

My tropicals are loving the spring weather! Here is a philodendron verrucosum, an anthurium veitchii, and a musa banana *variegated.* So fancy! They look so happy. 🪴

Today I was a guest speaker at @cantarella.ink’s Columbia College illustration class! Her students’ assignment had been to create a mural on the side of the storefront, and I was absolutely blown away with their projects. The rainbow Matisse dance with Bonnies mock-up mural is downright wondrous.

Today we went to a drag brunch for @daimondrewthis.bsky.social’s Mom’s birthday. This place had the best mac and cheese in the city at their brunch buffet. And the drag queens were all terrific.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was one of the things that made me want to move to Chicago. That movie made it look like such a fun place. It is, and it takes time to explore the whole thing. It changes all the time. It was a good choice to move here.

Trying to do little nice things to keep from being too upset with what the Orange Regime is doing to… everything. I just keep reading worse and worse headlines.
So tonight I picked up my viola for the first time in a long time. And I have about five different art projects happening at once.
