We’re watching TV in bed and a trailer for One True Thing comes on and we give each other knowing looks because I’m a sucker for that kind of film. I say to Rama, “I’ve seen that.” “We saw it together!” he exclaims. “Oh, we did?” I say. “Did I cry?” “Yes.”

I guess I just don’t have much to say lately, and the fact that my blog is broken doesn’t help my lack of inspiration. Sometimes, I think of scrapping this entire thing and starting over. Other times, I think of deleting it completely. But neither of those feel quite right. For now, I’ll do more […]

Thanks to you, I am getting over myself. I am learning to let go and let loose. Thanks to you, I am accepting the fact that I am an artist, which probably explains why I feel the waves of self doubt in the first place. Oh, the artist temperament. Thanks to you, I have felt […]

Thanks to everyone for your kind thoughts and well wishes. Ethan was discharged from the hospital over the weekend! He had been there waiting for a new heart for over 10 months, so I can only imagine how giddy he is to no longer be tied to that hospital bed. I can just hear his […]

Ethan disguised as Optimus Prime during one of our hospital visits. As many of you know, my nephew Ethan has been in the hospital for almost a year waiting for a heart, and today they may have found one. The heart is being flown in as I type this & he is scheduled for surgery […]

What I’ll remember most about this trip wasn’t the food, although it was delicious and fresh, or the sights, as beautiful and awe-inspiring as they were. No, what I’ll remember most about this trip is family. I got to introduce Rama to the rest of our family, my grandma, my aunties and uncles, cousins and […]

WEIRD My first comic, one of five pieces to be in the show at Giant Robot Artwork has been dropped off, design files stuffed and sent away, invoices submitted and emails answered. Frustrated tears have been cried, exhausted sighs exhaled, determined gulps swallowed and prayers to all the angels and saints whispered. To say it’s […]

I’m the weirdest combination of bleary-eyed and antsy. There is just so much going on, like wrapping up web projects and making art for another show and helping out my family. All before Rama and I go to the Philippines in 10 (oh my gosh, 10!) days. Today brought a lovely respite from it all […]

I’m trying to find a rhythm, one that balances work and play, family and self, living and recording the beauty in the everyday. I’m trying to stay connected, remain active, be aware. I’m trying to slow down, look closely, think deeply.

Today is our 1st wedding anniversary. Thank you, Rama, for having the good sense to ask me to marry you! And for a beautiful & blissful year together.
