Connor has been making line art lately, so I showed him how I used to do mine back in the day. Once he saw the one corner, he asked if I could make an entire square like that. When I finished drawing the third corner, he said that it looked like a comet warping the fabric of space-time, and wanted me to draw that.
So, I guess you could say this is a collaborative piece.
I glanced in the rear-view mirror as we pulled up to the stoplight, and had to grab my phone out of its dashboard mount to capture this slice of life.
I practiced some art meditation yesterday morning by drawing dozens of individual evergreen needles.
Merry Christmas from Aaron, Diana, Connor, and Mei!
It was weird to have Christmas as just the three of us, but we made the best of it. Connor played his new Nintendo Switch Lite, we played a game of Pictionary Air as a family, we texted family and friends, and we ate ham and sweet potatoes and rolls and homemade cranberry sauce and fudge and cookies.
I don’t usually take the time to really lay out my bullet journal like some people do; for me, it’s really a physical place to keep my medium-term memory, and I only give passing thought to making it look visually appealing.
This year, though, I must be craving the artistic outlet or something, because I just spent time over several days to design this cover page for next year’s journal.
Hell, I even created a goal brainstorming page. I’ve never sat down and done that before, even though I’ve almost always set yearly or monthly goals.
This year hasn’t been as bad for me and mine as it has for some people… but I still hope next year is better.
