Time for a cool retro song I think. I’ve always liked this…
“If I’m Right” - Joy Zipper. (2003).

Two sea creatures dance underwater, observed by two mysterious figures, sitting atop a world of waves and sky of stars. My signature in lower right.

Dark blue pencil sketch on teal background.

The figures dance underwater, as two figures cuddle and observe from above.

I played with idea of making the dancing figures sea monkeys, but I think I like the seaweed hairdos better.

Dark blue pencil on a vivid blue background. Many poses of the human form in motion, dancing, stretching. Just basic shapes, no details yet. The image hasn't crystalized for me yet, but I'm working towards it.

Work in progress.
I've begun building a face in Illustrator over a locked-down layer of pencil sketch.

JUST LIKE HEAVEN.

I’ve updated some of my work from this year. There were things I know I could’ve done better, and they were nagging at me.

May I present
JUST LIKE HEAVEN

When I was drawing this, I wanted time to be undefined. But I realized I was fighting against myself; why not just go ahead and make it night?
You can’t fight The Night.

I definitely want to fight less in 2025, especially against myself.

EDIT. I had to update this again or I couldn't rest.

I wanted to let you know I've begun work on this project today.
I know it is important to get back to my art to repair & preserve my cognitive function.

It's also me communicating to you purely from my heart.

I want to thank @AlexTheAutisticArtist for the gentle prompt, and his wonderful #ArtAgainstMentalIllness podcast.

Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest ocean
Twisting in the water
Just like a dream
