heading to los angeles for the weekend

...and still really torn about whether to continue blogging. But I wanted to share this tidbit on a fresh facet of Islam that I think deserves more attention. Also, check out this wild and crazy Hungarian Jew. Don't think we're related, but I'd be okay with it if we were.

Have a good weekend, everyone.

there is no way this won't improve your day

Just trust me. Or rather, trust Kirsten, who saw it first.

my first sketchcrawl




People drawing in groups. How novel to be one of them! A good day, even if the friend who invited me got the last chocolate croissant at the cafe where we met up, and I had to content myself with a plain one (quite dry) and a hot chocolate (sub-par).

easter with the sisters of perpetual indulgence



"Jesus in Bloom"--she did not win the Hunky Jesus contest, narrowly losing to Rocky Roulette (the pogo-stick stripper) as "Jumpin' Jesus." But she should have. My photos don't catch how radiantly gorgeous she was.

si se puede



From the San Francisco march for immigration rights.

baby tamandua



I'd never even heard of this creature before Kirsten posted this great photo. I am falling behind in my zoological study!

Expect a blogging lull; I've met someone I like rather a lot and I don't want to jinx it by talking about it. In a few days I may have some thoughts on how drawing is taught, if you want to check back. Also, here are some more photos from Undulation.
