Chill time


My lockdown has been… eventful.

In the small mercies column, it’s lucky we couldn’t go on the holiday we had booked.

My father-in-law passed away last weekend after falling ill 6 weeks prior (of non-virus related causes). Visitation has been severely restricted, but in a stroke of luck his partner of 25 years was by his side. He was 81 years old.

In the shit that’s rough column, we’ve now been to a maximum-10-people socially distanced funeral.

Yesterday was the day after the funeral, and I really took the day off. I spent it in my shortie pyjamas (it was 35* here in Perth) pondering a line drawing of a seasonally-related animal. My sisters (the ones with children) had been circulating a colouring in page of an Easter bunny over email that kids and adults alike have been colouring in. My day consisted of sampling colours and inking in a bunny that I’d printed onto watercolour paper. It was good therapy.

I wanted to share it around, but I don’t own the copyright. Then I remembered that I have copyright on a bunch of drawings that I put into a colouring-in book a few years back.

These PDF’s are formatted for US paper sizes – 8.5 x 11″, but they’ll easily print to A4.

If you need a break, I highly recommend it.
