Just learning how to draw and sharing some of that here. Cats, cute stuff, stickers, and lady rage (but also lady fatigue). 🚫AI

I mean - the other thing is, it’s hard to be creative when the world is burning down around you and half the country is riding the high that is the cruelty of this administration. So many people are suffering here and abroad because of us….it’s just a waking horror every single day.

Psychology says people who don’t maintain many close friends often learned independence too early Learning to rely on yourself too soon can make it hard to rely on other people later.

Someone posted this article on threads and my only thought was Oh shit. This describes me to a tee and I’m going to need some time to process this.

But I think this might also describe a lot of perimenopausal, GenX/Xennial women especially oldest daughters, too.

I’m also sorry it takes me such a long time to reply! I haven’t gone some kind of phobia about replying to people I actually know LOL.

I flex in order to make them look different so it’s an never ending cycle of experimentation. Anyhoo, it’s nice to be back to drawing, and having to post it in order to hold myself accountable. Hopefully this is start of my 2026 habit. Wish me luck, y’all!

back to basics for me.
After 60 full days it’s like I’m learning to draw all over again. So here are two quick sketches of Selina and Douglas. I keep trying to figure out how to distinguish one from the other and what characteristics and variables and

It’s been a great long while since I’ve posted - two months. I haven’t gone that long without drawing since I started in 2022. A lot has changed, It’s difficult for me to find the time and more importantly the space and the privacy to draw but I’ve done it the last couple of days and it’s

Also I can’t tear myself away from threads and IG. It’s a constant stream of the horribleness in the world and I hate meta with a passion so I really really wish I could divest…..but i am weak.

Also the unhinged and hilarious part of threads is so endearing it makes is impossible to leave

I’m trying to get back into a drawing habit. I haven’t really picked up my pencil since my last post on…(holy shit) December 29 and for the first time in Februrary I didn’t even bother saving the monthly drawing challenges to a folder.

So I’m starting small and slow

being put in the role of child again (at the grand old age of 50). It’s been close to impossible for me to maintain any sense of identity beyond that but there’s been a little progress.

The job outlook is beyond bleak, but, hey, that’s were UberEats and DoorDash come in. They suck, but

so…a week or so or two late but as usual using Lunar New Year as a reset point.

After nearly 4 months after my move, I’ve finally hit a little tiny bit of a routine. Things are evening out, I’m less…traumatized than I was in November.

It’s been difficult moving back in with my parents and

@andria-kennedy.com Andi-I just checked my email. Thank you!!!! Your kindness means so much. 2026 here we come! Seriously-it WILL be a better year than 2025. We’ll make sure of it!

Thank you so much!! I’ve missed you too! I hope you’ve been OK (or better than ok!). I have so much catching up to do with all your December Disney drawings!

2026 I’m planning on spending more time on bsky and finally weaning myself off meta!

You’ll be sick of me in the new year!

After the move it’s been difficult to keep up the practice and I feel the skills slipping away! Gonnato spend the last few days of 2025 cramming in the last hours I have access to @21_draw (thanks again to @andria-kennedy.com ). Will post one more drawing before 2025 comes to a welcome close.

It’s been over a month since I’ve really sat down and drawn anything! I did this quickly just to get the juices flowing. I really feel like I forgot how to draw.

Glad to be in the final month of this awful year!
