Cutting it close for 2021, but got another piece in The New Yorker’s Daily Shouts today! (Hugest thanks to Patty Terhune for making it happen for us!)
Short story long: Patty approached me about collaborating on a piece almost 2 years ago! And we immediately decided to move forward with this idea. Patty will be kind and say I helped on the text, but she was certainly the driving force on the funny, I mostly made the silly pictures to go with it. :)
We had it just about ready to go and… COVID lockdown put a screeching halt to sports and gathering to watch sports as we knew it. Thankfully, a month or so ago, she reminded me of it when things went back to quasi-normal and here we are!
One of the drawings I completely stole from a silly face I made in clay while playing with my kiddo.
It was such a fun face I had to draw it and then with a shift in gaze, it was perfect for an uncomfortable, sweaty person lost-in-anxious-thought. It was also fun creating the amalgam of laughing children — my own kid is featured, of course, as one of the heads.
The Dali-inspired drawings were fun, loved getting a way-high eyebrow guy and I’m pretty sure Grimace may be holding a foam finger in that last one. One more illustration gem I’d love to actually get printed is the is the pit-stained t-shirt that reads “N△chos 4 Life” — featuring an “A” replaced with a triangular chip.

Yep once every year for the last 4. Here’s to plenty more!
