October Project Round-Up

Well, well, well! If it isn't the start of a new month! Which means the previous month has just concluded. Which means it's time for a round-up of all the shit I got up to in October! And, dang, I got up to a lot more shit than usual.

Pitch Perfect

20 years together and my husband and I still have plenty to talk about. (1 page)

🔒 A Really Good Artist 🔒 (Patrons Only)

The comic is about making art with my friend's five-year-old kid, but then the blog post tumbles head-first into a well of nostalgia about having a friendship that spans the decades and exploiting that as content for my comics the entire time. I've been drawing Dylan Meconis (the afore-mentioned friend) in my comics since we were in high school and this comic marks the first time I've drawn her as a mom. It's kinda cool, y'know? (1 page)

Construction Paper Crown

(Post goes public Nov. 6th) It was two days before Halloween and I still didn't have a costume. Then my friend and I went browsing at a secondhand shop and I discovered a $20 sequin-covered party dress that reminded me of the recently stolen Louvre crown jewels. My fate was obvious. I WOULD BE THE FRENCH JEWELRY. Would I have enough time to recreate the missing tiara and necklace out of construction paper???

Rock, Paper, Scissors

(Post goes public Nov. 11th) The thrilling conclusion to the previous post's cliffhanger! I'll just let you know right now that, yes, I did, indeed, finish my construction recreation of the lost royal jewels and I also got some sweet pics of my entire costume fully assembled. Guys, I was so sparkly.

The Weeping Hairless Apes

On the fifth anniversary of bringing Tig into our lives, I re-shared this story about how fucking much we were still in mourning and absolutely not ready for a new cat when we first brought her home.

Chaos Gardening

I like to let my garden surprise me. Mystery seedlings spring up and, a lot of the time, I just let them do their own thing. Is this the progeny of a vegetable I planted last season and let go to seed? Did a squirrel bury this as a snack and then immediately forget to come back to eat it later? Was this a seed spec that blew in on a breeze from across town? There's only one way to find out!

Miscellaneous Mends

Here's a handful of mends I worked on! Shoes, scarves, pants, I took a crack at all of 'em. Some came out better than others.

🔒 Am I the Baddie? 🔒 (Patrons Only)

I had an altercation in a public space and either I was a total badass hero who stood up for myself or... I may have completely misunderstood the situation and did something way out of line. WHO CAN SAY? You tell me!

Alright my dears! I'll have a fresh project round-up for you next month. Who can even guess what bullshit I'll get up to then? I don't even know!
