A year ago today, on my 50th birthday, I am embarked on an endeavor to draw every day for a year. I did it. I only missed a few days, when I was really sick and one time when I was camping. I wanted to do this because I know I am most productive when I’m held accountable, even if the accountability I feel from others is an illusion (I know none of you all would be mad at me if I missed some days!) I also wanted to push myself to be free with my drawings, less precious, looser. I wanted to see how my digital drawing style would change if I really stuck to it. I wanted to learn what I really loved drawing, rather than what I thought I should draw. I wanted to get more vulnerable with my drawings and push myself to share them, even if I wasn’t sure I wanted to. I wanted to see how my activist work would show up in my drawings. (That last one is still not happening enough to my satisfaction and I want to keep working on that.)
I’m not sure I can keep up another #draweveryday streak for another year. I also write music and poetry and that has kinda fallen to the wayside, so I might want to focus on that this year. Then again, my brain sure does cling to a routine, so… so here’s a lizard! I’m going to try to let myself have some days off and be less rigid with it, but I think you can expect more #drawalmosteveryday posts.

Carácter de la mamá otra ilustración #ghibliart de mi pequeña pero esta vez no basada en el estilo de Satsuko sino en otro tipo más parecido a los visto en Ponyo #MastoArt #Draw
Hello, aujourd'hui, j'ai fait quelques essais d'impressions de ma série de dessins de plantes et de fleurs toxiques et je suis contente du résultat. Le papier ressemble à l'original mais en moins fragile.
A gauche, une belladone et à droite une jusquiame noire. Série de dessin qui s'intitule "50/50" (à la fois remède et poison), au crayon.

To wrap up this month of March, a few more lines and color washes for an illustration of the port of Piriac-sur-Mer. This town enchants with its flower-lined cobbled streets, granite houses, that once captivated Flaubert, Zola, and Daudet. Its Breton identity is reflected in its architecture and street names.
