Happy Birthday, Lynda Barry!

🥰🎉👏🌷🌈⭐

The image is from a book Lynda signed for me in 1991 after an interview with NPR's Terry Gross in Seattle. It was at a church and Lynda said it was like a dream and that she felt like a "lightning rod tonight".

Currently feeling thrilled by Lynda Barry’s ‘Syllabus’ as a way back into thinking about ways of sharing from/extending my PhD thesis out into the world. There’s a lot to be said for succumbing to the urge to draw monkeys… #LyndaBarry #CreativeMethods #DrawingAsThinking #StickingAndMaking

Thirty-nine years ago—February 14th, 1986—I took Molly on our first date.

We ate a cajun dinner, then saw Brazil. Then we dropped in at the New Guild Co-op V-D party.

Followed it up with an epic 80s #mixtape with #LyndaBarry artwork xeroxed and hand colored. These details are important.

Pix from when I met/pitched Jules 2 months earlier at 2014 @smallpressexpo.bsky.social, w/ #LyndaBarry & @tomtomorrow.bsky.social, after #DrewFriedman shoved me into the green room to get some breakfast.

There's a silly little constellation of stories around that morning: maybe for the newsletter.

Top left monster is orange & has 3 angry eyes & says whilst spitting blood “I have to do the groceries”.
Top right monster has 2 pairs of blue lips & an array of spikes, & pupils like a cat, recites poetry “Sometimes living means burning the fire escapes” (quoting @andreagibson).
Bottom left monster is turquoise& shaped like an upside down teardrop & has 4 cubic eyes & 2 long snake tongues, and ponders “where do birds go when it rains?”
The bottom right monster is red & screams “give me all your coffee!!!!” & has razor sharp teeth, a tail covered in spikes, sharp spikes along its back and from its stomach.
