Little Gardens for Invalids

AAAAAAADVENTURE TIME!

Hi tumblr. It’s certainly been awhile! The big things that have happened since my last update (months ago, eep!) are:

1) Was diagnosed with a spinal disease and some other spinal-cord related issues, but I totally don’t have cancer, which is a real relief! Mostly, this hasn’t changed my life too much. It’s 100% pain management until I can see a surgeon for aforementioned issues, and wait lists are loooong where I live (likely another 6-9 months before my first consult). Consider yourself updated!

2) I legally hitched myself to the dude you’ve seen in my pictures! The bespectacled brown guy. While my feelings about the institution of marriage have been and likely always will be complicated, my feelings for him are decidedly uncomplicated: I think he’s pretty wonderful and am glad to have thrown a big party to let my community know just how wonderful, and have a catch-all excuse to see so many loved ones from around the globe.

So, about this picture: Here’s me and my partner as Adventure Time characters Finn and Fionna. We’ve been watching the heck outta this charming little animated series, and I have a tendency to doodle while watching TV/movies…thus, this little ridiculous illo came into being.

My good best buddy Alison and I drank some beer and then drew monsters on a big ol’ piece of paper together on my floor this afternoon. Here’s part of it!

Day Thirteen  Twelve: A Group Picture.

I have nothing to say about this, except that I wish I was at this birthday party right now.

I’ll post today’s drawing (Day Fourteen) later today, before sundown in my time zone.
