Hello, hope you’re well. Quick check-in to mention a family loss in late February and say: here we are in late August. Don’t worry, time has not slipped away. The heat seems to be on a slow descent.

That said, maybe I will just draw and sketch and illustrate here for the time being. Below are a few sketches from the bus and home.

Thank you for being here! Where do you draw or write? Sometimes I do in coffee shops, on the bus, in mixing areas such as transit centers or airports.

I have to write away from home because it's too noisy and horrible in my mother's house. So I go to cafés and sometimes treat myself to the Rose Room at the NYPL on 5th Ave, which is heaven. I also write at work (a print shop in the East Village) when it's not busy. And sometimes I write at Penn Station when I miss the train and find a spot at one of the tables in the ticketed waiting room. Anywhere not home!

Hoping you're holding up, and thinking of you. xoxc

Thanks so much, Carolita! I can get this for sure. Ah, the Rose Room, lovely. Penn Station can be interesting too. It makes me think of the movie The Major General (starring Ginger Rogers, not dancing), although I know Penn was fancier then. And I'm not sure whether the station in the movie was supposed to be Grand Central. All Hollywood sound set, of course. Btw, let me know if you ever want a postcard : ).
