sketchbook block happened for a while. stupid brick wall.

i went to visit a teacher/friend and her family in Maine, and she has many beautiful daughters. two of them are twin girls, one of whom is more cryptic and confusing than the other. obviously, this is the cryptic one. 
separately, in the second comic, linus felt jealous and needy and greg didn't like it.

linus the dog and chan the cat had to live together for a while, but most of the time, on account of a single closed door, neither of them realized what a nemesis was in the same house. it was less traumatic for both animals than expected, except for one very stressful shared car ride, where linus had to make a lot of muppet sounds in protest of a cat being in the car with him.

Artist is a hard term, right? I make drawings, that's true. But, also, sometimes I sit in chairs, but I wouldn't classify myself as a "chair sitter" or sometimes I eat sandwiches, but I don't think that I am necessarily a "sandwich eater". 


also, sorry if my scans/color corrections aren't great. there is a new learning curve i am dealing with. I have recently switched computers, scanners, AND photo correcting software. on top of that, blogger's interface is all weird and different. For someone who is sort of opposed to change, this has been inappropriately stressful. but, don't worry. i'll survive. 
that being said, if anyone wants to donate/illicitly help me obtain photoshop for mac, my eternal gratitude will be yours.

HEY everyone. I'm really sorry I have been so absent! A small concatenation of events (scanner breakage, computer theft, homelessness) has lead to my being unable to scan my sketchbook and update this blog. HOWEVER, I am back in my small home studio, I have a new computer AND a new scanner, and shortly I will have all the software I need to show you the inner workings of my squiggly little mind. Don't forget about me!

cemetery drawing is almost always the cure to my sketchbook stress. especially if i bring pizza and my dog.

bob is my most rational friend. i am thankful, because i am my least rational friend.

not the first man to come to this realization.

well, one boy sure does know the way to my heart.

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.
