“encyst”

Celebrating getting my stitches out, having a day to myself to draw after the school holidays, and having a beer after four weeks dry on antibiotics. This was a midnight quickie in my notebook from a few days ago, needed a bit more work on the title… probably should have been “uncyst” after getting it cut out two weeks ago.

The drawing I worked on today was one started in December, one a bit bleaker about torching the year just been, itself displacing an older drawing about getting older. Ironically I’m still in my usual new year bounce, feeling positive and looking ahead. More drawings, more beers and not having a festering wound on my back. That’s enough to start with.
