i am so easily convinced of monsters. but, if one lives in chris' family's beautiful lake, i am sure it is a friendly guy.

there are precious few things that I love about summer, and watermelon slices in each hand is one of the best.

important feathers from important birds, and important pie for important friends.

we have been very lucky when it comes to fog monsters and cloud summoning, this summer. everything has always been beautiful. on a separate note, i am totally homeless this summer, and i have been imposing myself onto all of my friends, and then thanking them in inappropriate manners.

there is this nice man who follows me into all sorts of bodies of water, lately. bays, lakes, oceans, rainstorms. it's nice.

my grandma is remarkably obsessed with my phone. she gets mad if i try to use it, lately.

some things, so far. here are all of my relatives, i visited them ALL this june.

1. proof that i shouldn't be allowed to be in control of my life 2. a secret in an envelope 3. some words that got stuck in my head. does that ever happen to you? no melody, only words.

matt is very serious about coaster safety. i didn't know that before, but i probably should have guessed it.

the internet is SUCH a trap. so are couches. how does anyone ever get anything done?

my launo got married! it was great. even though she made us take too many photos in the park without ANY SNACKS AT ALL. I still love her the best.

when i slept on the floor of liz's apartment in brooklyn i woke up wrapped in my sheet like a caterpillar. it was perfect. but i still don't know where i'm going next.

welllll, i went to the store and painted each of my nails a different color and then didn't buy any of the bottles of nail polish. don't be mad.

everyone, everyone, everyone, should just be drawing, everything, all the time.

hahaha. she can be so raunchy. this comic about my grandma is tame, frankly.

instead of using a stylish cane, or even an actual cane of any sort, my grandpa has chosen to use a bent piece of aluminum with a rubber stopper on the end.

things were confusing for a while. obscurity. and then some cows in a field.

there were fog monsters everywhere in vermont.

i promise i'll be back with some more drawings soon! i've been swooping around the northeast with really no good plan in mind and no responsibilities to adhere to. here is some documentation of my paintset accompanying me to the places i go. in order of the photos but not of my actual travels it is: bob and chris' house in providence, liz's favorite coffee shop in brooklyn, my favorite coffeeshop in rochester, and some random coffeeshop in vermont that had excellent french fries. proof! that i have been making some drawings and will one day have time with my scanner to upload and post them to this poor neglected blog.

linus usually plays an important role in my creative process. in the way this comic suggests, and in the way where if i hate what i'm drawing it is very easy to stop and instead get a good dog snuggle before getting back in the game. you could say we are collaborators, i guess.
