“What does “too much cheese” even mean?!” [both women laugh]— overheard at Delah Café, while sipping the most delicious Pistachio latte I’ve ever had (also, my first), while waiting for the post office to open.

It’s so fascinating to be an illustrator with a f*ckd up sleep pattern. 7-10pm: I’m so tired, I might be dying. 11pm: I’m tired but let’s finish this first; 1am-3am I don’t need sleep I’m a workBEAST. 4am-6am Eh I could just stay up? 6am (birds start chirping) WHAT AM I DOING? SLEEP IS VITAL WTF… 🔄

Since the start of the pandemic, @laureola.bsky.social and I have been taking (almost) daily walks, some days seeking a new East Bay street so I can shoot more stamps. There are now over 1,000 photos in the album.

Friends, do me a favor and walk around the block wherever you live. Do you see any contractor stamps in the concrete sidewalk or driveways? How many?
I’m wondering if #Oakland has more of these than anywhere else, or if it’s just my proximity bias.

I drew a mandala in red, white and blue but it only started to “feel” US-American when I added stars. Fascinating.

Jim Parkinson died today. He was a prolific and astoundingly gifted lettering artist, type designer, and painter. I feel lucky to say he was also my friend.

Letterform Archive’s “10 x 10 for 10 exhibition” opening happened last Saturday to celebrate their 10 year anniversary! ✨
✨
So I threw my so far 65 LfA portraits into a half head-turn (used to be really cool ca. 8y ago) to showcase them. Didn’t work as well as I thought, but you’ll get the gist.

If you’re unsure where to stand on generative AI, seek the opinion of a friend who can really draw, design, or write. Their answer may be instructive.
