Skeletons and Anniversaries

an illustration of me from this time last year

I’m taking the week off this week. Today is my birthday and wedding anniversary.

It has been a rough year from a freelance and work perspective, so I cannot say THANK YOU enough to all of you, for your continued support and kindness.

Who wore it better?

Me from a party a few weeks ago

I wore a skeleton outfit to a costume party recently. It made me think of the Karate Kid movie and Johnny, even though I studied Gōjū-ryū Karate, which is the style that Mr. Miyagi is based on.

I also can’t help think of Phoebe Bridgers, who often wears a skeleton outfit/onesie. She is my spirit animal.

Be kind to yourself on your creative journey.
