Yesterday was pretty bla. I was underslept and headachey, not feeling very inspired to write or draw, and missing Mike so much that my tummy hurt. I pretty much just spent the day trying to steal naps when Penny did or else watched her sleep when I couldn’t, trying to pick out her features that most resemble Mike’s.
Look how long she’s getting!
Mom and Penny seem to be getting along swimmingly.
This morning I did some more sketching at the beach and gabbed on the phone. So and so got in a car accident, so and so finally got laid, etc….Life in Eugene trucks along with or without us. What a treat it was when yesterday I got to hear from a dear old artist buddy from my SB days. So good to still feel close and connected to those once thought long lost. Joey, I’m still counting on that mixed tape!
Today I packed, tomorrow we travel. This trip has been more rejuvinating and creatively prolific than I ever would have dreamed. Picked up some good habits (mostly a better diet and the drive n’ sketch), lost a lot of the bad. Ready to jump back into “real” life and rainy Oregon all over again with a fresh perspective. Home again, home again jiggety jig.
Here are the new roughs. Feeling a little indifferent about these ones for some reason.
Can’t wait to have you back in Eugene! We must see you guys very soon! dinner????
