Crazy story - my dad went to the hospital with chest pain he’d been having for several days. The ER docs ran blood work and ekg and concluded it wasn’t a heart attack. He started complaining that the pain was getting a lot worse, moving into his jaw. The docs gave him some morphine and he said it wasn’t doing anything for the pain. So they hook him back up to the ekg. While they are watching the ekg, he has a heart attack, which they then confirmed with bloodwork.

So yeah. Hope your day is going better than that.

@jerry @artcollisions yikes! I hope he's doing better, and having less pain, soon. Scary stuff.

Job searching is a strange thing. It's changed a bit since I last went looking 30 years ago.

@jerry almost every job I've had came through somebody who saw me give a talk. Sort of a long-game, but it does tend to lead to better-ish matches.

Today, I am at home and able to play with my inks again. My drawing represents my cancer tumor and how it has now been surgically removed. Thankfully in recovery now.

I've posted the drawings I did while in the hospital on my patreon and ko-fi.

Some dancing starfish for today's drawing. With my recovery from surgery, I can't really dance yet, but I'm dancing on the inside.

Here's an in-progress shot.

And that's a wrap for this month's daily drawings. In-progress and complete drawings for this month are now all posted for my supporters on patreon and kofi in this month's posts:

Today's drawing is inspired by one of my single-pen drawings I did post-op in the hospital. I shared it in last month's post.

Today, I felt like drawing membranes. The ink I chose for the phospholipids was a lot lighter than my usual inks, and things got pastel pretty fast.

Then, the story emerged. I've posted it for my supporters on Patreon and Ko-fi:

Playing with inspiration from a fading flower. Turning my observation into an abstraction and then thinking abut how these patterns might fit into a diagram structure.

Playing with adding a delicate fill, of very diluted blue ink, to this delicate pattern. I think I'm liking it, kinda. Not sure yet.

On the health front, my recovery continues to go well and I feel stronger every day.

Playing with aurora pink for today's drawing. I didn't get to see it in last night's sky, here in San Francisco, sadly. I could have sworn there was a slightly pink tint to the sky, but it was probably just wishful thinking.

Before starting today's drawing, I saw some posts about World Bee Day. So, I decided to draw some dancing bees, even though I drew some a few days ago.

Drawing a squiggly wiggly imaginary creature for today's drawing.

I managed to finish it just before my first at-home blood-draw visit, which was quick and easy. He was wearing a mask, which put me at ease right away.

Yesterday, I made the trek downtown to the SFMOMA to see the Kusama installation. I wasn't sure if the timing would work out, since I wasn't sure if I'd be recovered enough to walk around a museum before the show closed.

I loved it! Totally exhausted me, but it was worth it!

The shapes and colors in one of the rooms got right into my imagination, and I've been playing with the shapes in my own drawings.

Wow, this has been a big month for me...recovering from cancer surgery, and continued tests, and so on.

To celebrate getting through this all, I'm drawing a happy orange floral today.
