My REAL Imaginary Friend
Some say that friends must be actual physical beings to count as REAL. Why, I ask? I have REAL imaginary friends who are quite lovely and can be most helpful in a pinch. When I'm having a really bad day, need a bit of advice, or if I'm just feeling blue, my REAL imaginary friends are exactly the ones I want around for comfort. No complaining or whining about THEIR troubles. No attention sucking smart phones to distract them from listening to you. And, the best part is, you can call up the exact friend for listening or guidance when needed, instantly!

Four legs gently grip a soft cloud. It's long pink body is adorned with subtle patterns of flowering shapes and its translucent scales glow periwinkle blue. Gossamer wings unfold. With closed eyes, the shy creature smiles sweetly, while its heart blooms with an actual flower. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

Monsters have babies too.
Baby monsters are even harder to find than the elusive "baby" pigeon. Very few folks can say that they've seen them, let alone created their portraits. I have been lucky. As you might imagine, monster parents can be a bit protective. Mothers in particular. They consider us (humans) more than a bit strange and potentially dangerous. It took most of my free time, lots of monster "treats" and carefully followed Monster Etiquette to befriend just a few of them. Even then, I felt a bit nervous and on edge as I made sketches of their most beloved offspring. It is always a good idea to remind oneself that monsters are ultimately unpredictable creatures, and should be given proper respect at all times.

One teeny, solitary baby stands precariously on Moms scaly leg.

Against a brilliant blue sky, with just a hint of mountains in the distance, a teeny baby monster trembles with uncertainty on its mothers scaly leg, grasping her long sharp claw for balance. It nervously stares (at me) with large bulging eyes, while the other hand is clamped firmly in its mouth. Bright scales of chartreuse, vivid orange and crimson red cover the body of this wee creature, accompanied by slender candy-cane-like curved horns atop its bald green head. I find it endearingly adorable. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana.

Some shots of the #NYC #HandsOff #protest #march. The signs were phenomenal and so hilarious. MAGA sure the f*ck ain’t got this juice. All they can come up with are swastikas or Confederate flags or the dirty traitor’s name on their shit.

Crowd at the Hands Off March in NYC April 5 2024.

This one is for the local crowd. Good words!

A large cardboard sign with a couple of screaming eagles in its corners, reads, in green print: "NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO REDIRECT THAT *GO BIRDS* ENERGY!"

Final batch of sign photos from the #Philadelphia rally and march for #HandsOff day...

A red sign with white lettering has an image of Princess Leia from Star Wars and says "A Woman's Place is in the Resistance"

A white sign has two tan images of open egg cartons, with a lot of red spots below. The top reads "You wanted CHEAPER EGGS" and the bottom reads "You Got MEASLES"

Center sign reads "MUSK: the scent that disguises despotism"

Front sign reads "For God's Sake, STOP these charlatans!" and behind is "Hands Off our history!"

Many great signs, made me feel dumb I didn't make one, but I yelled a lot to make up for it. "This is what democracy looks like!"

Also took a zillion photos, so here they come! :)

View along Philadelphia's City Hall, with skyscrapers in the background. In the foreground are two large cardboard signs in the shape of hands, stencilled with the phrase Hands Off, in the midst of a crowd listening to the rally chants.

Background = Philadelphia City Hall walls. Foreground = two large cardboard hands that read "The Future is in Our Hands". Ima blurring all the faces, folks.

Background = the arched windows of a Masonic Temple, of all things. Middle = a colorful homemade banner with colorful letters reading "MAKE AMERICA KIND AGAIN"

This person was ready for the rain, with a black umbrella with white lettering in every section. Closest are "Hands Off LGBTQ+ Rights" and "Hands Off Social Security"

Favorite signs I didn't photograph:

Morons
Are
Governing
America

Damn
Oligarchs
Grab
Everything

If America hasn't broken your
you don't her enough.

Stay calm
not afraid

If you don't use your voice,
others will use your silence!

Adopt dogs
abolish DOGE

JUST STOP
waves vaguely at everything

Too Much Rage
for one sign

The Girl and the Bear
In the quiet forest, walks a gentle bear. Upon his sunny back a young girl sleeps.

Early in the morning, at the edge of a forest of brown and purple, greens and gold, a smiling bear pads quietly across the grass. Caught in a sunbeam, a young girl in a flowered yellow dress is sleeping upon his back, her arms folded under her head. Plants, like ferns and budding flowers, line each side of the glade.

Teacups. Tiny monsters. Enjoying a peaceful moment to themselves. Humans aren't the only ones who enjoy a spot of tea now and again. Little monsters have been know to slip quietly into kitchens when no one is around and sneak a sip of two of freshly brewed sweetness. This sleepy creature drank a bit too much sweet jasmine tea and found it hard to stay awake. Shhhhhh...

Set against a rosy colored wallpaper with pale blooms, a dainty china teacup decorated with swirling buds, sits quietly on a table top. Inside, a strange being reposes, with heavily lidded eyes. Atop its head are pink branches with teal colored leaves. It appears to be deeply pondering the universe as it slips into a blissful sleep.

The Mysterious Monster March
Front cover of a children's picture book that I am working on.
---------------
As another day ends and darkness falls,
worries begin to grow. The monsters realize they
are now far away from their homes and entering
a world that no one has ever been before.

Anxious whispers and tearful sobs burst out.
"Beware! Beware! one monster pleads.
There is danger ahead!" But no one has stopped
for sleep this night. The leaders keep them
marching, marching, towards a distant light.

Still deep within a dense twilight forest, several monsters gather together. Their facial expressions show fear and worry.
One large monster dramatically shares his anxiety with a little blue monster, while another has its arm around its back. One graceful monster glances behind itself in alarm, while another buries its face in its hands, teeth chattering in terror.

Secret Corners: Hiding in Plain Sight
The Enchanted Forest. In the hidden corners of the world, sweet mysteries abound. NOTE: I created this piece quite a while ago, using a rubbing technique (a block of concrete) to get the texture of the tree bark. :-)

Almost hidden within a pile of maple leaves and tucked into the roots of a tree, stands a solitary, spiky haired creature of unknown origin. Arms outstretched, with a slight scowl on its face, it appears to be thinking of something important - perhaps what it would like to eat for lunch. Far back, lurking behind a tree, a young girl is watching. Drawn in black, white and gray graphite/pencil. NOTE: This description is created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

The Mysterious Monster March: THE CONVERSATION
Illustration from a children's picture book that I am working on.

"After Meenu gobbles the crisp tartlets that
are offered, he asks "Where is everyone going?"
"I'm not sure" growls one, scratching its neck.
"It is a BIG mystery!", another whispers, smiling
nervously. One teeny monster mumbles
"I'm just following the others."

A strange crowd of monsters gather curiously around a small blue monster. They stare at it, with concern bordering on fear. A conversation is taking place about where they are going and why. No one seems to know. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

Crammed into a doorway, between the night landscape outside and brightness within, an anxious assortment of strange beasties are wedged together. Some appear puzzled, others gleeful, most are simply curious. One bold orange creature leaps with abandon into the glowing space, joining several floating/flying books and strangely shaped objects. Their mysterious adventure continues...
