I was unwell for a lot of 2022; visiting doctors often. March, May, June calendars suffered and finishing things were almost an impossibility. Most of the doodles I did accomplish, I LOVE, especially the owls (that I absconded from Pinterest). CALENDARS

One of my greatest loves is science fiction. It probably started when my dad gave me these pulp novels about a guy who would get into a machine naked and get transported to other worlds with women in fur bikinis and saber-toothed tigers. Best novels ever! Especially when you're only 8-9 years old. Since Jan 2nd is Isaac Asimov's birthday, I went with a sci-fi theme for the monthly calendar. The robot from the movie, I, Robot with Will Smith (flying a kite in honor of Ben Franklin) and the Dune sand worms and quote are my favorite pieces... so far.  January 2019 Week One

I was trying to see how I liked the B6 Slim Size, hence the artwork on around the edges. After the Pen post coming soon.

"After the Pen" in the journaling community means what does a plournal look like after it has been used for the week. Here are mine for June 2018. June Month & Trackers Week 23 I absolutely LOVED the oceans theme that I'll be sure to repeat it next June for Oceans Month. Besides getting to try so many cool doodles, I learned so much and was able to see wonders I never imagined. Week 24 For the budding "artist / doodler", Pinterest is the best. place. ever. Week 25 As you can see by weeks end of 25 and the majority of 26, my plournal was just kind of pretty to look at instead of functional. Sometimes that happens. Week 26  SUBSCRIBE

I was unable to complete my doodle challenge for May but have high hopes for June. I don't have a designated list of art to draw, instead relying on what catches my fancy from my social media feeds, news stories, or perhaps even memories. I love the sea. I miss the sea. In searching for quotes for the month of June, I ran across one I think I will adopt.
 I see a developing trend of not finishing the challenges I set for myself. It could be because after so many days in the month, I can't really call them "doodles" and that is something I need to correct within myself... (It's just supposed to be a g*dd*m DOODLE!) It could be because I get a little busy towards the end of the month... we'll see. I doing SPACE next month. It should be just coloring, basically. (LOL) Anyhow, I loved the things I learned this month.  June 19 - "This Japanese dragon symbolized the power of the ocean, had a large mouth, and was able to transform into a human shape. Ryūjin lived in Ryūgū-jō, his palace under the sea built out of red and white coral, from where he controlled the tides with magical tide jewels. Sea turtles, fish and jellyfish are often depicted as Ryūjin's servants." Information from Wikipedia
 June 14 - “Ten years ago, out in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico, a ROV employed by the Shell Oil Company was quietly moving through the chilled, dark waters of Alaminos Canyon. It was nearly 8,000 feet below the ocean’s surface, creeping along, inspecting the underwater area around the Perdido oil platform (the deepest offshore drilling site in the world) when its operator came upon a creature that inhabits both the depths of the ocean and the subconscious mind. The strange being from below was a “long-arm squid,” a 26-foot-long nightmare with elbowed tentacles and pulsating fins that undulate in a way that says: My kind were here for eons before you, and will be here for eons after you.” - from Matthew Hart at the @Nerdist - my friend Scott showed me this one, too. . . .
June 11 - Guineafowl Pufferfish - unfinished - finished piece coming soon   June 9 & 10 - Octlantis; scientists discovered a small octopus city where members of the gloomy octopus species congregate living in dens made of sand and shells. There was a similar site discovered in 2009 called Octopolis. Story by Science Alert here

I moved my weekly tracker to the center, opting for some semblance of balance/symmetry but am now lamenting a bottom canvas like in week 24, yet... at the same time, eternally grateful there is no space at the bottom like in week 24. You get me, right?
Added 06-14-18: Mood Tracker, so far...

Added 06-07-18: A Conversation With Mom
I was able to spend most of my day with my mom today, although most if it was spent with me working on my bujo while she was laying in her bedroom watching Game 5 between the Las Vegas Golden Knights and the Washington Capitals. As I was leaving, I asked"
What's the score? Mom: (quietly) 3rd quarter, 3-2, Knights winning Why are you whispering? Mom: I don’t want to jinx it, Ohma Them: I’m going to turn it on & yell at the screen & jinx it. DAMMIT BRIAN!!

June 2018: Monthly - National Oceans Month
When I was a bambina, (around 8 or 9), our family went camping on Bibione Beach in Italy. I still have vivid snippets of memories of that week. Showers in the communal spaces under the shade of green, leafy trees. Barbecued dinners and laughing with the family and my mom and dads friends around a picnic table that gave someone a splinter every day of our stay. Running through the camp area playing hide and seek with Italian kids we couldn't even communicate with. Pedaling through town with my mom in a bicycle cart built for two for shopping and gelato. My little sister and I trying to control the pedal boat we were driving that was tossed to and fro by the gentle waves crashing onto the beach. The sun, the smells; Ahhhh, the memories...
My favorite memory was of the day that the sky was overcast, sprinkles rained down intermittently, the wind crashed the waves onto the shore, and the beach was empty, except for me. I reveled in that afternoon for hours, alone, walking the expanse of the desolate shore, wandering in and out of the water, I love the beach and the ocean because of that day. My doodle challenge for June is also Ocean-themed. Click here if you want to see them. 
Holidays for this month are a-plenty, as are the doodles.
