We’ve been in Berlin over two months, but I’d been afraid to take any time to make art. Looking for any kind of job to help us get settled seemed like the highest priority.

Then some loved ones suggested I start a Patreon to support my art. And so I did!

This is my first Berlin drawing. I got on the U-Bahn, took out my sketchbook, and looked up. There he was! I felt like this wonderful-looking fellow, with his recurving forms and enormous angular hands, was a gift from the drawing gods.

Families are very close and tender here; there’s a lot of physical affection, like between this mama or auntie and her girls.

I’ve seen several of these bags around; I can’t help but wonder what would happen if you carried one in the US.

I’m so grateful to my amazing patrons, who have made this batch of drawings possible!
