Illustration of skulls on handmade paper placed in xmas tree. Text reads memento vivere
Day 31 is the last day of #frostanddraw2025 and the year! I chose skulls with memento vivere. In contrast to memento mori, memento vivere is a reminder to live in the moment, something that I think will be a good basis for 2026. Happy New Year!

Illustrated Prickly pear cactus wearing 2026 glasses
Day 29 is Floral. I chose a Prickly Pear Cactus ringing in the New Year! I grew up in Southern California, so a warm winter is somewhat nostalgic for me, and I have a soft spot for prickly pear cacti.

Print of snowflake with text all the living and all the dead
#frostanddraw2025 Day 25: Frost. I did a monoprint with paper snowflakes and an abstract landscape. The text was inspired by James Joyce's "The Dead": "faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead."

Day 18 of #frostanddraw2025: Parade! I went very niche w/ Parade (1917), w/ music by Erik Satie & design by Picasso. It was referred to by Apollinaire as "une sorte de surréalisme." I added a touch of holiday color to the horse costume - a holiday parade!
