Augie photo for some serotonin.
A cat stretched out sleeping the sleep of a kitten who has entirely exhausted himself playing. His trust is absolute.

I'm inordinately proud of these buttonholes. #sewing

Happy Halloween from this witch.
Pumpkin carved with a flying saucer image, lit up with a candle in the dark. A middle aged woman wearing a witch costume including a black pointy hat and a capelet with bits of moss, smiling in pleasure.

Celebrating the season this weekend. Had a lot of fun making these.
6 drawings of bright colored skeletons enjoying the trappings of modern life. Paint markers on black textured paper.

One year I made a bunch of Shark Monsters with costumes for a Kickstarter. One of my friends did a photo shoot of hers enjoying the New England fall. 🍂💕🧛

So glad it's spooky season! Looking through old Halloween monster projects.

Augie Update: he's no longer a baby (but he's the baby). Somehow he turned into a full grown cat!
Cat asleep on a shelf at my desk looking much more innocent than he should. Cat rolling around on a rug hoping to convince a passersby to play with him. Cat sitting on top of his cat tree looking out the window looking majestic.

I had a great time at Rad Fit's Deadlift and Drag event today. I really love these people.
A bunch of strong people posing for photos mostly out of frame with balloons that spell out Deadlift and Drag behind them.

I never thought I'd say this, but we're a biking family now. Just got home from a date to get donuts by bike!

Meet Augie! We adopted him last Sunday. He's a ray of sunshine in our lives. 8 lbs of sweetness and pogo sticks.
A gray and white cat walking away from me on a window ledge looking back to make sure I'm paying attention. A close up of Augie's face with his eyes closed in bliss. He's wearing his new collar and has his front paws tucked in. Augie curled in a ball, upside down, completely trusting me to hold him up. My hand is cradling his body while I lean back in a wingback chair. His tail is up by my ear.

If I have to be stuck at the airport. At least it's pleasant scenery.

I have been eagerly awaiting this day.

If you see this quote with a bridge from your camera roll.

What are you doing to take care of yourself during the onslaught of terrible news that is 45?

I'm playing with art (I love the thumbnail the most, tbh) and trying things just to experiment.

I'm strategizing with my work team about protecting kids, and connecting with like-minded people.

Self soothing by scrolling through photos I took on a rainy day at the SF Botanical gardens recently. Sharing because we all need some soothing nature right now.
Plaque that shares info about a succulent garden with botanical line drawings of plants. Beautiful, bright, blooming succulent that feels like you reach out and take a piece off through the screen. A New Zealand Christmas Tree with air roots hanging from branches, reaching for the ground. Feels like it could transport you to a magical world.

I haven't finished making my character, but I've already drawn her.

Thinking about that time I made enough tiny monsters to create the world's tiniest flash mob at Mount Tabor in Portland.

I should do something like that again.
