The early days of the pandemic I was trying to fall asleep one night and just as I was beginning to slip I remembered I had done this drawing back in April 2019.
I lay there and said, "Huh, that's kind of strange". Some days later I looked up the drawing again. I had forgotten those breath-lines coming violently out of the mouth of that fear-filled face, and then I noticed that the formation of heads at the top make a sort of coronavirus molecule image, with sorts of protrusions. As much as I tell myself, "Ah, that's par for the course for art - it's a mystery!" I still recall the drawing once in a while and go, "Seriously, WTF?"
Then I started recalling other drawings I did in 2019 from when before the pandemic was even a blip on the radar. I've started titling them. LOL.
There are others more generally leaning in that direction, like this one, and this one, and maybe this one?
Funny, too, when I did this drawing in March (found at this post),
I had no intention whose face it was going to be. I was just drawing a face and seeing where it would lead. After I finished it, I said, "Huh, that kind of looks like Joe Biden." I mean, it doesn't technically look like him, but to me it has his "feel" so to speak.
So now I have titled that drawing "On Eagles Wings".
Anyways, I kind of have a crush on Kamala. It's all innocent. I know she's married. LOL. But man, especially that moment debating Pence, and she was like, "I'm speaking", I kind of just went head over heels. Which is why I love this meme so much:
LOL
And again, in that interview with the woman trying to peg her into an ideological corner (isn't it weird how the paranoia about someone being "socialist" is itself the rawest sort of ideological colonization?), asking her if she's going to act with a socialist agenda and so forth, and Kamala just responded by basically going, "BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!"
But the way she laughed, it was not at all condemnatory, it was not scorn-filled - it was just refreshing and life-filled. Both her and Joe (who I like and cannot help but liking - a good Catholic guy) have a certain ordinary...I almost want to call it a goofiness that is at the same time totally cool. Anyways, get ready for the chivalrous white knights to attack Kamala like 5000 times more than they attack Biden over the years because You Know Why.
