Journal: Handmade using scrap cardboard, paper, and post-its Medium(s): Acrylic paint, ink, gouache, some ephemera Status: Unfinished Notes: I started making small art pieces on post-its to cheer my friends up as the world went into lockdown, some of them ended up in this little book along with other pieces I made during the first few months working from home. I could fill up the rest of the book, but it might ruin a moment in time.
×May 2020: An illustration of myself with a purple side cut, a Taurus symbol on my cheek, and 33 to the left of me.
×May 2020: An illustration of former Los Angeles Dodger baseball player Brian Wilson with a silly conversation I had with my husband about Tommy John Surgery – I was close enough, right?!
×May 2020: An illustration of a goth woman looking annoyed with the words, "our ISP lives up to its name" next to her.
×March/February 2020: An illustration of Eric Byrnes' bulldog, Altuve, looking adorable dressed as ET and a random dog drawing from Sktchy.
×March 2020: An illustration of AEW wrestler Evil Uno with the words Evil Uno cares about your well being and an illustration of a hamster watching Hamtaro (drawn to cheer a friend up).
×May 2020: An illustrated portrait of an ice queen (reference from Sktchy) with lyrics by The Atomic Bitchwax that were stuck in my head during lockdown.

×June 2020: An illustration of a woman wearing face paint in red and blue lighting (reference from the Sktchy app) next to a quote by Audre Lorde. I was reading Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde and the quote leapt out at me. It's from 1976 but it still seems so apt, sadly.
×August 2020: An illustration of a woman in distress and an illustration of a female body with the word "legacy?" written on her stomach.
×September 2020: An illustration about voting and an joke doodle about not knowing the difference between a cucumber and a zuccini.

×September 2020: An illustration of the Manic Panic logo and of myself with a green side cut (experimenting with my hair during lockdown) and my tongue out.
×September 2020: Two quick sketch portraits in my art journal as an example of the cheap/quick commissions I was offering during lockdown.
