It had been quite a while since I updated the site, so there are updates galore: every page except art has some new content!

Most of the art on this page is from 2005 and older, so it is clearly overdue for an update. Until I have time to do the massive overhaul that is needed, more recent art is available on Instagram.

One of the habits that I am most glad to have started last year was buying a hobonichi techo, a fancy planner from Japan. There is a whole community online devoted to people drawing and writing in their hobonichi, using the book to manage their lives but also as a means of recording their lived experiences. Because of the little events like finishing my master's degree and buying a house, I didn't manage to fill every page for 2015 but looking at my hobonichi brings me right back to each of those days that I did write something. I am looking forward to another year experienced and recorded.

(For the curious, I do frequently post pages on tumblr.)

For the first time this year, I have enough art to do a "year in review" post.

It's been a challenging but fulfilling year. I hope everyone is having as happy a holiday season with family and friends as I am!

Since I graduated during summer term, I didn't need to walk in the fall graduation ceremony. I did though, and I'm glad I did. It reminds me of all the heritage we are carrying and how we as people are continually working to improve our scope of knowledge. It's easy to lose sight of that hunched over a computer, and humbling to be reminded of it.
