As an alternative to the creative challenge posted every day, there was an open invitation to create a comic about 2020, but then 2020 leaked into 2021, and there wasn’t much energy for it. We did have one post, though, from Cheryl Chudyk. This is from January 30, after a string of bad police incidents in the news. The second panel is referring to an incident locally, in which a Tacoma police officer drove his car through a crowd of people. It was a tough month, and a tough year.

No matter how busy …
In recent V. Notes, I have shared some of Carlos San Millan’s favorite painters. So far I’ve posted Kim Frohsin, Mitchell Johnson, Yann Kebbi, Марина Цветаева (Marina Tsvetyeva), and Sangram Majumdar. Today I’m posting Bato Dugarzhapov. Bato is a Russian painter born in 1966. I had his work saved for a V. Note someday. Looks …
I look at a lot of art, and I don’t tend to see colored pencil drawings popping up in the mix of esteemed or daring artworks. Oils, pastels, graphite, watercolor, ink, even conte is common in museums and galleries, but colored pencils seem to be a material outgrown as soon as any of the others …
