               Despite my near two month hiatus, I promise that more posts are in the works as suggested by the cartoon.  Now,  could I have been writing a new post instead of drawing this comic?  Yes (and fair point) though a picture is worth a thousand words and, more importantly, I just love to draw.  For some reason I love drawing Cookie Monster [whose image belongs to Sesame Street and its creator Jim Henson] and imaging how he would handle every day situations.  Hopefully this post made you smile and I will now get back to generating some worthwhile content.

Additionally, in this drawing I repurposed a photograph and another piece of art, which I have cited (as best as possible) below.  Every one deserves proper credit.

There are other tasks built into each week partnered with a handful of reflective activities to close the week. Naturally, I started Week 1 with gusto then slowly fell behind with the natural ebb/ flow of  life and work (also due to a pretty great Lou Reed biography by Anthony DeCurtis).  Though the small amount of writing I did do, opened up many blocks I had about my own art making.   The most predominant among those blocks boiled down to expectation.  An expectation that any art (writing, drawing, music, ect.) produced had to conform to something beyond what I could actually do, whic

The above quote attributed to my Grandma is an approximation because I couldn't make a Cookie Monster cartoon with her real sayings.  Those quotes would bump up this blog's PG13 rating to a solid R (boarding on NC-17 in certain cases).  My Grandmother was a truly unique person with a knack for entertaining guests with warm hospitality and a few off the wall jokes.  Only my Grandmother's mourners would laugh with tears in their eyes and that is exactly how she would have wanted it.
