i asked swan what animal they'd be and they said combination greyhound, bear and owl. here i was trying to puzzle out and anthropomorphize this combination.

their form resisted documentation on this day, or else i was being too slow. resulting guitar ghost.

notes jotted and a comic i went back and did later. i figured out drawing myself as a goat in the span of this notebook which is a major development.

taking notes and quotes of swan

drew the geese in shelby park while the girl i was hanging out with smoked a blazy susan cone. every goose shape i made was familiar because of my connection to a cartoonist who has thoroughly explored the form of the goose.
