I have never had a year so cruel and unrelenting. The fact I can still make this art at a high degree means I'm locked into this style. Gut wrenching distractions from life couldn't stop me. Here is hoping the next year is a far kinder year. Far kinder!

Lately, everything has been problems stacked onto problems stacked onto problems. It took a long time to just get back to doing ink portraits. I hope things start easing up. I'm beyond tired at some point. I will add water to the portraits, when i can.

Sometimes, i can only find joy in making a good drawing. I cling to it the way a fish clings to water.
