I know, it happens every year. Still feels crazy when it does. Like the sun rising every morning. Pretty nuts. If you’re not in Chicago, it’s snowing. Everyone’s freaking out. Anyway, here are 8 photos from my week.
1. sketchbook page of the week
Been drawing a lot of whatever this is this week. Reminding me of how the solstice is coming, the shortest day of the year. I’ve really been feeling the effects of having less light and I think this is a reminder that community is a source of light. Together we make light. Wow, that’s corny. Ok moving on.
2. cat pic of the week
As usual, no explanation needed. Cats are everything. I love them. They are perfect. No notes.
3. shadow of the week
Shadows have been my obsession this year. Can’t look away. Stay tuned and maybe we’ll both figure out why.
4. on repeat
Is it just me or do you also love to look at your “On Repeat” playlist from the Spotify overlords? I’m like, “yeah, I do really like that song.” Thanks, Spotify. & also – “wow, that made it on here?” Interesting.
5. squirrel pic of the week
This was a video, but I’m too lazy to upload it to Substack. I love squirrels. I recently learned my brother also loves squirrels. I mean, I’ve never really met an animal I don’t like, but they’re so damn cute. In the video, this squirrel is waving their tail around and it’s really pretty. You can watch that on my latest IG post.
6. announcement of the week
Do you live in Chicago? Are you going to shop for the holidays? Do you like supporting independent artists? Do you like buying super unique gifts? If you answered “yes” to most of these questions, DO NOT MISS THE LOT’SA HOLIDAY MARKET ON 12/7 AT COLOR CLUB FROM 12 – 6. I hope you read that sentence in an extreme *Lexus December to Remember Sales Event* voice.
7. typography of the week
I saw this on a truck coming back home from Wisconsin and thought it was really nice. Check out that 3!
8. cabin pic from my week
Last weekend I went to a cabin in Viroqua, WI with Toad the Dog & Molly Anne Bishop the Human. We made fires, pizza, watched Zoolander, and spent all day DRAWING. It was soul filling. Cabins are awesome. Friends are awesome. Dogs are awesome. Drawing is AWESOME!!!
Thanks for reading! See you cool cats and kittens next week.
I would love to see the snowy pictures you capture there.. as i share the same crazy passion for snowfalls 🤍
