Between weather, the release of my latest book and travel I have not been able to start my next large project. With everything going on, I do still draw every day. This woodshedding is akin to musicians practicing scales.
It serves another purpose too, a type of antidote for the current zeitgeist, a brief reprieve from doom and gloom of news and what feels like non-stop culture wars over even the tiniest things.
More and more, I feel it is every artist’s duty to do their thing. Not necessarily to put any sort of message in their work, but offer up some form of beauty as a reminder that there are things out there which link us all and there are things out there longer lasting and ultimately more important than any “I”.
If my work gives someone even five minutes of peace or distraction, then it has done its job.
These are some quick sketches. In about a week i start my next big project.

I feel our goal as writers or artists should be to bring happy thoughts into the world. There is too much talk of war and hatred. I just want to feel good and hope my articles express that. Enjoyed your drawings as they look like real people!
