Cleaned up this Dolly sketch from a few years ago, mostly to make her hair twice as big, because she deserves it.

Tiens en fouillant dans l'pc j'suis retombé sur cette planche. À la base c'était la couverture de la bd des Chiens à la croisée des chemins (oui le nom a changé, marre de dire "Les chiens du carrefour, non pas le supermarché non." lartchimist.wordpress.com/2019/09/06/l...

Illustration en noir et blanc d’une couverture pour un bd.
On y voit une femme de dos mais la tête tournée vers nous. Elle hurle et son œil visible jette des rayons de lumière vers le bas. Sur sa tête et une bonne partie de son visage il y a tout un empilement de bâtiments et de structures plus ou moins gothiques.

Had a random urge to watch Oliver & Company tonight and remembered the joys of bonus features on dvds. Man, the future of media really worries me. I fear we’re going to have so much lost media in 100 years bc everything was made digital. Anyway, movie still slaps. I love Billy Joel.

Absolute masterpiece. Learn as little about it as you possibly can and just start reading. If you like brutally visceral stories with badass protagonists, you will not be disappointed.

Both harpies have giant bird wings for arms, feather covered human legs that morph into bird feet with sharp talons, they have long feathered tails, and feather crests protruding out of their heads. One harpy has dark skin and yellow plumage, and the other has tan skin with teal feathers that have orange tips.

My assignment for Winona Nelson's SmArtschool class: Choose a favorite book and illustrate a cover for it. I picked "The Song of Achilles" by Madeline Miller, and my goal was to capture a similar bittersweet tone as the novel has.

Achilles and Patroclos, standing next to each other in front of a raging fire. Achilles is outfitted for battle and looks wistfully into the distance, while Patroclos ties some laces of his armor, also looking sad. Behind them and above there's the mosaic of a warrior in his chariot.

Text graphic reads: Today is the winter solstice. It also marks five years without my dad. My grief has been an odd and slowly emerging thing, in many ways, taking a while to fully settle in. I think losing someone at the height of COVID, before there were any vaccines even, is and will always be a uniquely strange experience. We almost didn't get to have a funeral for him, and the bare bones, short service we did have feels a bit like a dream in my memory. I barely know who was there, because we were sat at the front of the room and couldn't do a line to greet guests at the end because of social distancing restrictions. He was cremated, as he'd always said he wanted to be, so I never got to see him after his death. There was no viewing, no "saying goodbye." He was just gone. Today, five years later, he is still just gone, and I think a part of me is still waiting for him to come back.

We had a contentious relationship at times. I know he loved me, or at least he loved the person I was in his mind. I loved parts of him, but by the end of his life, we no longer really understood each other.

What hurts the most about his loss is what we could have had, and never quite did. He didn't really see me, and maybe I couldn't really see him, either. We are, in many ways, almost painfully alike. My grief in his loss is as much for the love that we had but never got enough of, as it is for the love we might have had, but never quite found.

I think I'll be mourning the loss of that potential, unrendered love for the rest of my life.

I have a new hobby. Been making rosettes for a couple of months and I really need to stock up on findings and trims because I think I might be hooked and I want to make increasingly more elaborate designs.

Obergefell v. Hodges made me believe in the whole "arc of history bends towards justice." In the 90s, I didn't think gay marriage would be legalized in my lifetime because homophobia was so deeply ingrained. We would have never gotten here without the decision and now it may be overturned.
