Drew at an open art studio for the first time. It also happened to be during a weekly event. It was great to draw there but my socially anxious brain is buzzing. I like what I painted tho! Wins all a round!

Today is the birthday of cartoonist Jackie Ormes (Aug. 1, 1911-Dec. 26, 1985), the first Black woman to create a newspaper comic strip that was read nationally in the US. She created Torchy Brown in Dixie to Harlem, Torchy in Heartbeats & Patty-Jo ‘n’ Ginger. Patty Jo became a toy doll.

Would you ever forage for mushrooms? Every time I think about it, I’m so scared to poison myself somehow. My friend bought me a book on foraging mushrooms without dying. I won’t be foraging anytime soon but I will be drawing mushrooms from this book #artsky #sketchbook
