What now?

A Sunday morning sketch

person holding red jigsaw puzzle

You’ve decided you’ll do something big

man and woman holding hands

Farewell for now

woman wearing white sweater carrying a daughter

Don’t do it, kid

orange fire on black background

Everyone is conservative

sunset in front of body of water

Endings

woman back flip under blue sky

There is only one thing that you need to know

silhouette of man standing on cliff

You might be a contrarian if…

woman lying on bathtub with green book

All alone

two person talking while standing near wall

You are old now

couple holding hands

Jonas and Julie

surfer crash on body of water

A manifesto for mistakers

leafless tree in body of water during daytime

Listening to the silence

What’s happening these days down on Mulberry Street

red Wrong Way signage on road

How long does it take?

man standing in front of white wall

Nothing

green leafed plant near table

It isn’t how many words you write

opened door

If you want to know what you’re entitled to

woman smiling face

We all need a small victory now and then

person smiling at the camera

I hope you get to do what you want to do

person holding glass jar

The disruptive ideas of yesterday

man in white and red apron holding paint brush

If you’re ever wondering, “What should I do?”

greyscale photo of DO What YOu Love signage

When you go away to work for your family

man doing martial arts

When it seems there’s no meaning

man in black polo shirt smiling

The tools you need

man wearing black shirt and pants

She didn’t show up

man in green suit riding yellow car figurine

Let’s talk about cars and guns

person standing in front of body of water

Your reality and mine

two man runnings painting

What would Dr. Seuss do?
