Pictured: Athens--the green space of the Agora in the foreground with the reconstructed Stoa of Attalos prominent as the long colonnaded building with a red roof among the trees
I’ve been back in the states for a week now and even though I’m not in any sort of routine here yet, Athens already feels so distant. E’s visit my last week there was super fun and surreal and we had a great time. I’m still a little bummed we didn’t get to travel anywhere but there was of course so much to do in and around Athens that it was still a lovely and full few days.
Things could change, and I need to get my advisor’s confirmation...but...I do not know when I will be in Greece next. Unless The Boss disagrees, I should be able to finish writing this dissertation completely from the states without needing to go back to Greece. And then idk what happens after I finish but I’m fairly sure it won’t involve Greece in any formalized manner. I know I haven’t said goodbye forever, but I do think I just closed the chapter in my life that was structured around living in Athens for a number of months every year. It’s been a week since I left (and I’ve been emotionally preparing myself for this farewell all year) and I still don’t know how I feel about it all.
I wish I had been able to travel more this year & that the pandemic and thus the restrictions I was under hadn’t had an impact on my time in Greece, but those things were out of my control so I focused up and did what I needed to do in Athens, both at the library and at the stoa. I am so proud of what I accomplished this school year! And now, I’m taking one more full week off work before getting back into things later this month.

(January 22 - January 31, 2024)
Last of January.
You know, I realized just HOW MUCH I draw. One month into 2024 and I've already made 37 drawings.
Anyway, here's Quentin and Phoebe hugging for hugging day, which was January 21. Most of these drawings revolve around them and other campers. If you're down with that, look under the cut for more.
Look, on Quentin's campster bio he says he hugs a lot. THEREFORE, I can draw him hugging his bestie as much as I want.
[quentin singing] your love takes me higher and HIGHERRR
baby, you're spinning me around ... what am I gonna do?
I wanted to draw Kitty grinning like a cheshire cat. I did but I also got very distracted.
boogie on down
I was feeling super hyper when drawing this. (You really think I'd let you go through this without Misha drawings?)
I dunno if I've ever stated it, but I think J.T. is peak character design. He looks pleasant. He IS pleasant. He's a PSYCHIC COWBOY. He doesn't shoot a gun, he shoots BULLETS with his MIND. It doesn't get better than that.
Dart looks down on the other campers for not taking psychic training seriously ... except for Dogen, of course. Dogen is exempt from his contempt. That's how I like to imagine it anyway.

Hiii my oc art ^_^⭐︎ you can read a little about him here
I added a cut because this isn't really relevant to the illustration itself but I finished writing episodes 1 and 2 of the project in which Erasmos lives recently, halfway through episode 3 and I am really happy with how it's going :)) I hope to get more confident and share more about it in the future, maybe even the whole screenplay if people are interested at all one day...????idk if anyone else experiences this but writing feels so much more vulnerable than drawing to me. But I really want to build my confidence and be able to share stuff that I'm proud of🥰

Back once again for the renegade master, D4 damage with the ill behavior (camper fans come get ya food. more under the cut.)
AW YEAAAH
This is not a comic, just me getting easily distracted in art form. One of my friends thought Chloe's helmet was a TV screen.
Artist's block then began to beat my ass, but we will brute force our way through.
I wonder if Maloof likes Tom & Jerry.
This one's for the bird nerds and/or lovers of corny jokes out there.
Signs of spring.
ELKA DOOM FANS WHERE YA AT? MAKE SOME NOISE (I was feeling inspired.)
With Elka's help, the artist's block was vanquished.
This one is based on a dream I had months ago. They are listening to this because it kept me sane during the inordinate amount of time I spent on it.
Dart's head shape is like a modified version of Quentin's head shape (or maybe the other way around.) Visualizing it this way has made it easier to draw him.
A very important task as Bobby's henchman, you see.
(Note: since people have been unsure of what Bobby means when I show it - he wants Benny to bite into the apple first since he can't bite it with his bad teeth.)
Katherine.
I hope you took some time for Vernon on Storytelling Day (March 20)
There's been this commercial that plays "What A Feeling" and every time it comes on, it makes me think of Crystal without fail.
Is Chops wearing lipstick? The color is similar to Kitty's lipstick ... Did he steal it from her?
A Kitty-less Franke, how sad. I've expended all my energy to draw Kitty, so she has to be by herself.
J.T. has a very nice face. He has a very trustworthy smile. I trust him.
