Sometimes there are good hauntings

So. This last week I was trapped in covid isolation but I still managed to draw something.

It was a sketch of a photograph from my friend Gabi Blair and I was using a technique for the sky that I picked up from a Laura Perea drawing. It worked well until I got out of isolation and Hunter S. Thomcat decided that he would attached himself to me permanently.

And every time I tried to draw he’d crawl on me and swat at the pen, and that’s why there’s a weird line of birds on the drawing, because it was the only way to cover Hunter’s artistic attributions. Ah, cats.

And speaking of Laura Perea…did I tell you her story? The mystery of her strange and haunting art from her years in a mental institution that I found at an estate sale…and the fact that she seemed to just vanish?

Well, she didn’t vanish and I just uncovered some amazing news. It’s not a perfect resolution, but honestly it’s so much better than what I had feared. Details are on my blog.

Hugs, Jenny
