Another forest one today -- a detail from an editorial piece about women being lured into unnecessary surgery, or maybe just the continuing saga of the Wolf & grown up Li'l Red. Swipe to see the full piece!

This editorial piece was inspired by an article in @oprahmagazine about a body positive hiking group called @fatgirlshiking . Check them out -- they organize hiking groups all over and are awesome! I had a lot of fun drawing this group of nature lovers having fun in the forest. It's been far too long since I've been able to go walk in the shady and cool forests of the Oregon Coast where I grew up, and lately being out in the sun has been extra hard and triggering for my migraines, so I'm really missing the nature times. Speaking of which -- my newsletter is going to be slightly late this month for self-care/health reasons, probably will go out later this week. Where's your fave place to be in nature?

Speaking of queer heroes, here's a Maurice Sendak fanfic alert! A love story between the boy and the crocodile from Chicken Soup and Rice by the wonderful Maurice Sendak. 🐊 🍜 Thought I'd share my graphic novel page from last year's @makeartthatsells #matsbootcamp class.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"In June ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I saw a charming group
of roses all begin
to droop - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I pepped them up
with chicken soup!
Sprinkle once
sprinkle twice
sprinkle chicken soup
with rice. "

Happy Pride Month! 🌈 Here's some queer heroes I drew for the Windy City Times for coloring pages last year! Noël Coward, Marsh P. Johnson, Romaine Brooks, and Claude Cahun! If you don't know who these folks are, please turn to your nearest google bar and find out more! I love them all, but Noël Coward is first in my heart as I was raised on his lyrics and wit:
"I went to a marvellous party
We played the most wonderful game
Maureen disappeared
And came back in a beard
And we all had to guess at her name
We talked about growing old gracefully
And Elsie who's seventy-four
Said, “A, it's a question of being sincere
And B, if you're supple you've noting to fear
Then she swung upside down from a glass chandelier
I couldn't have liked it more"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Happy Pride everyone!💖
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Just a little story about a beard and some butterflies for our final assignment in #matsbootcamp this year -- a graphic novel page! Thanks @lillarogers for all the cool assignments and inspiration!

This #tbt #mermay is from 2009. This was done for the SF Arts Commission Art in Storefronts project with my pal Jonathan Burstein in a vacant storefront on Market Street next to the Warfield. Our theme was a mix of climate change/rising sea levels and underwater mortgages (note the "loan shark" Jonathan painted over the door, lol). Her tattoos reflect the climate theme with an underwater cityscape of SF, a tattoo for the 2006 CA SB375 which was to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles, an RIP for the declining salmon populations, and "Don't Give Up the Ship" with a drowning hand. Also note she's graffiting the window with an $F sign. Anyway, I live in El Cerrito now and wasn't I just making some art about climate flooding last week?
