It’s Oh So Quiet

Drawing Progress

27 of 78 cards

What does a Texas potter DO when it’s 9365° outside, outdoor shows are instant death, and zine season isn’t until this fall? Why, throw myself into a project that’s been softly speaking in my head for years like Milton from Office Space. I can hear that meek little voice: “Excuse me, you’ve been working on a Tarot deck for a few years now and I still don’t have a Tarot deck.”

I tried to hold myself accountable by doing regular livestreams, but, with homeschooling two kids and managing the household and a business, I don’t always have a chance to get into “deep work.” Rather, I may work for 10 minutes before helping with Ancient History, not work for an entire day because I need to replace the water heater, or work for 6 hours straight because the kids are at a class. I gotta be flexible, but still hold myself accountable for project goals!

This year is it. I’m going to finish. There will always be an instance of CorelDRAW open with a tarot card in it. There’s a progress bar on the website. I’ve told everyone I’m finishing this year. No excuses. Stop getting sidetracked. The joy of research is great, but you have 78 cards to illustrate.

I got this.

Mimeogator!

Hooray! I’ve been hiding out like a lil’ underground gnome, doing maker stuff. But fear not! I’ve got a nice Spring lineup of events coming, one of which is STAPLE! The Independent Media Expo in Austin! Ask my fellow makers, I’ve been folding zines in preparation like a madman. But I took a break to draw a STAPLEGATOR and do a tiny print run! Check out my first video of the year, wherein I go over how I did a quick ‘n’ cute faux-mimeograph print in two colors.

Do you like outdated printing methods for fun and profit? I have more videos on my YouTube channel and more zines on my shop.

Thank you all!

Today I washed my tent for the season. It was a nice day to sit back and think about all of the cool people I got to meet, interesting places I got to go, and great art I got to see!

If you’ve supported me this year, thank you. With you, I can make art I love and share it with many people.
