The spiders are getting quite active in my basement, in a corner of the bathroom and underneath seldom moved pieces of furniture. And, in my sketchbook too it seems. Moving into new directions often means (for me) accepting limitations and moving through pedestrian drawing strategies: In this case, I’ve accepted the network of intersecting lines on the right side of the paper. I’m right-handed.

Then I play with color and finally add a spider. Sometimes the spider is bad and mad —which probably reflects how I feel about American politics. The spiders all seem to be inside their webs and wish they could get at what’s outside. That’s about it. Trying to keep it loose.
