Hi there. Here’s another Monday musings. Sorry I missed last week, I was sick all weekend and couldn’t put one together, but I’m back.
Some of you may have noticed I haven’t posted here, or on Instagram, or Facebook, about my graphic novel I’ve been working on for several years. Well I came to an impasse where I didn’t know how to continue it. I kinda script as I go, and ran out of steam at 25 pages. So I started work on something else that I didn’t script at all, and an actually almost finished , just need the last few pages figured out to stick the landing. (It’s a normal sized adventure comic, so not a “graphic novel.) Anyways, 25 pages was the end of the first act, but any ideas for the second act didn’t thrill me. I’ve finally figured out the way into the second act (basically a change in POV), and also the third and final(?) act. Now to flesh them out and get writing and drawing.
On to other stuff.
Who’s creating the unicorns popping up around Providence?
Their less than two-inch stature makes them easy to miss. But locals are finding the figurines seemingly everywhere.

A little bit ago I did a post on libraries. Here’s another article about Mychal Threets a librarian who uses TikTok to promote how great libraries are. He’s a lot of fun.
His compassion radiates through the screen as he promotes positivity, belonging and “library joy.” In a country faced with a dire literacy crisis, coinciding with regressive and discriminatory book bans and attacks on third spaces from conservatives, Threets’ work to make reading more accessible is needed now more than ever.
And another artist to end the day with. Hazem Harb is a Palestinian artist working in the UAE.
