Really well written and intriguing! I love this bit: "It is the sinking feeling of a societal race toward a future that feels bloodless, hastily conceived, and shruggingly accepted." It all reminds me of C.S. Lewis's 'That Hideous Strength.'

That's great!

I hope you had a wonderful time in Bologna! Any adventures?

Have you survived ok so far? We've got family who sent a photo of a "big branch" that fell into their garden... it was more like a large twig. But at least they're safe.

I got to draw whatever I wanted today! 🥳

Same here. My to-do list just kept growing and I kept ignoring it... Until today. Annoyingly, most of the urgent things are not illustration-related. I just want to draw stuff!

Yes! I figured it was a pretty good idea on my part. 😋 *Pats self on back. Tries to resist scrolling...*

That's a good plan and it was a good post! Managed to read it today, but I think my substack inbox is filling up faster than I can read.

Looking forward to reading it! I'm having to catch up on Substack posts after the holiday. So many lovely posts to devour...

I'm only partially here! Literally only joined because I challenged myself to do the postcards every month. So I'm going to have to hold myself back from being sucked in like Instagram. #selfcontrol 😋
