Postcard Project #1

So recently I sent a mass text out to peeps asking them to update their snail mail address. When the results came rolling in, I decided to launch a project that had been sitting idle for some time:

Somewhere along the line I had picked up this item and it is just what it says on the tin: a packet of 30 postcards, the completion of which requires drawing 642 different things - a different number of things on each card, not 21.4 things on each card. Well, I am doing one a day, so follow along and you'll see how it works. I am mailing these out to my friends in the order they responded to the request for addresses, so I am delaying each one a few days to allow for mailing time.

Classy scribble

 

Perhaps during a phone call... inspired by a bit on the old Dinah Shore show with guest Jules Feiffer. Srsly.

So, what with the recent news, I have made a commitment to using my downtime fulfillingly and productively, rather than just doomscrolling the twitters. As soon as I had withdrawn from the Torts III course, I cleared my second desk of law stuff and returned it to its original condition as a drawing space, and the first night I did not have a class, I sat down and made this sketch.

You get the picture.*

Just enough to break the rust off. Hopefully, more soon.

*See what I did there?

It's my party...

... my D&D party, that is.

The DM rebooted our campaign and we all rolled up new characters.

So, I had lunch with Coco and my in-laws today. As we were chatting, I was making a few doodles on a napkin, which drawings seemed to please everyone -- my modicum of ability (let's not call it talent) was somewhat disproportionately praised. Coco even took pictures of the sketches, so I decided to post them here. Why not.

A fox. A fat fox?

A space man. I think the helmet is shaped the way it is because they are also a dog-man.

A space-dog-man.

Lunch was great, by the way. Happy birthday, Annis P.
