how does this look so far

I think it looks incredible! I agree with Raleigh, the textures of the drawn fabrics are amazing.

Unfortunately, I discovered that I like to draw only a little while before I had to stop taking the medication that helped control my tremor, because it was making my blood pressure drop too low, so now my hands shake too much.


there's a medicine for essential tremor (runs in my family) called mysoline that doesn't lowed BP. (you were on propranolol, right?) mysoline does, though, interact with lots of medicines. maybe worth asking the doc about if you want to draw.

Thank you for the suggestion. My tremor is bad enough to be annoying, if not problematic, in everyday tasks, and I would love to have something that would at least significantly lessen it. It was indeed propranolol I was on before, and my doctor said she couldn't think of any medications for essential tremor that didn't have side effects of either low blood pressure or depression (which I already have), but I'll try to remember to ask about this one the next time I'm in.

Just set up blog software for automatic publishing. In an hour and a half, it will either post some innocuous information on a website, or it will set off a chain reaction that will destroy the Internet and the universe as we know it.

I hope everyone's doing okay? :heart: :heart:

Welcome back!!


Thank you Raleigh! :heart: :heart:

Aw @Kiprobalhato I know how you feel :( Being alone is so depressing. Currently I have constant supervision, which I guess means I'm not alone at the moment. This woman called Natalie is "helping" me and she's with me all the time :(

sorry. checked it out. mysoline often worsens depression. benzodiazepines such as klonopin can help but are addictive. addiction to klonopin is not the end of the world - just means that stopping must be by a tapering of dose rather than stopping all at once. klonopin can also cause depression but doesn't in most people. the biggest worry with klonopin is increased risk of falling especially in the elderly. tranxene is a klonopin relative that doesn't stay in your body long. taking it a couple of times per week so you can draw would be unlikely to cause addiction. alcohol helps, but is also addictive. alcohol addiction can kill (as it did my dad) and tends to disrupt families. alcohol for an infrequent special event might be okay.

and i'm glad your lymph nodes are probably benign.

Oh, that's good then :) ...! Just me being alone then.

I wish I had a good talent like you do with your art...! To be able to make something like that must be amazing.

it is very satisfying, looking at your own
work progress and then seeing the finished product and knowing that you made it, start to finish.

i'm at a bar in camarillo, 45 miles from home. it's past midnight and smoky from the wildfires. i came to see my friend and his band play and hopefully go to the party afterwards. not sure what to expect there.
i brought my sketchbook to pass the time and it caught the attention of a (very) cute girl, several years older than me it seems. she was with her friend and they introduced me to their frihouse nds. we talked.
her friend is a japanese eagle scout and he talked to me about his ideas for a back tattoo he wants. another older man let me know he liked my hair, and we chatted.

one beer and a couple vodka sips in so far. they're planning to be done in half an hour.
