Real growth comes from getting out of your comfort zone and confronting new challenges. It’s not easy.
Drawing is my silent cry. It’s my way of staying resilient and remember that the journey is more important than the destination.

Sputnik sweetheart
Who hasn’t read Sputnik sweetheart? said a friend scornfully. So in haste I tried to make up for lost time.
Have you read it? What did you think?
Days pile up
Filled with gratitude for the job I have, the work I do, the people I work with and the support I get from my family. It’s a lot to be thankful for in these times.
Living with myself
I’ve talked before about my journey in building self compassion – and learning to accept myself as I am with all my imperfections is a long and difficult process…
…and knowing that everyone probably is fighting their own battle. Remembering that sometimes helps me to be empathetic and less judgemental to the people I interact with in an ongoing basis.
Screenshots are the memories of the future
These girls are my lifeline. Thank you for just for being.
A moment of bliss
At the ends of long days what a pleasure it is to sit and draw…
Although I cannot see your face
Honestly who would have thought that we would spend a quarter of a year in physical isolation from each other. A story to recount in my old age.
And speaking of old age. Umberto Eco once wrote that books are the most robust format of content transmission that we have seen over centuries, and so that if nothing else, my sketchbooks would probably survive till my old age at least, and I will look back on these days and laugh…
"Although I cannot see your face As you flip these poems awhile Somewhere from some far off place I hear you laughing - and I smile..." Shel Silverstein
Weekend ritual
Ever since we have been together the brown boy and I have spent a few hours a weekend with a ritual of drawing and drinking coffee.
One way to get through these new lifestyle changes has been to keep to our rituals and find sanity in those moments of calm and pleasure. Hope you’re having a restful weekend.
