Day #145 of quarantine and I think I am on Facebook too much because I am soo tired of reading complaint after complaint. Everyone is going through this. The Pandemic is Global. Please. Consider that the schools have never been through this. The teachers have never had to teach their classes virtually before (not counting spring when they were thrown into it). School administrators are making judgement calls knowing that anything could change any day. Restaurants are opening and closing when cases pop up by their employees. Small businesses are closing because they simply can't be closed for months at a time. It's like our country has been flipped upside down, shaken, and then thrown on the floor and stomped on. Close your eyes. Take a breathe. Forgive your children's teachers for the spring and wish them well for the fall. While we wait for things like test results, cases to go down, schools to get things going smoothly, businesses to do the best they can, the election this November, etc...Be Patient.

Today is day 143 of the quarantine. Teachers in our county have been back at school for a week preparing to teach online and already about a dozen schools have had to close due to staff testing positive. It may not look the way you want it and it may not be ideal, but I believe that everyone is doing their best to try to provide a quality education for our students. This pandemic is a new situation for everyone so give the schools a chance to figure it out. Be kind.

A Month of HAND LETTERING in Doodle Day

Sorry about the blog hiatus but I've been very busy doodling. : ) Doodle Day is still going strong and we are up to 511 members of the online community. Our theme this month was HAND LETTERING. Personally, I had never sat down and really thought about how to approach hand lettering. Sure, I doodled and played with names and words here and loved doing the Notan designs for Doodle Day last year but I really hadn't worked on composition and how the viewers eye will move around the piece (specifically referring to a lettering piece) until this month. I started a new sketchbook just for Hand Lettering and I'm keeping it positive, motivational, and inspiring. I didn't fill the sketchbook this month but I did average more than one doodle per day and I intend to continue to fill this sketchbook with just hand lettering. Here are my doodles from this month...
