Hm. I write these as I go along, so they’re not always coherent. In this case, I don’t mean to say that Christmas and Craig’s birthday weren’t joyful. There are joys — they’re just slight and subtle these days.
Prince Edward Island has announced that it will lift its mandates in April, and even though many of us are wary of this move, oh, the idea of a summer!
Even being in the coffeeshop this morning was such a treat — to have time and space out in the world, away from computers, to just think and sip and draw.
I made a little sketchbook at the start of the year, meaning to do more drawing that isn’t so purposeful, like my work-work and my diary comix, that’s just a space to play in, to experiment, where I’m allowed to get things wrong and have them not turn out.
So I opened that after I finished the comic above, and, after starting with my customary self-portrait, doodled a few of the other patrons, and the neighbours’ dog, who was stuck outside for a while last night. That was fun!
