My dad always said he based his single father parenting on Harry Dean Stanton in this. Which is funny because its both so accurate (my dad also never remembers what food I hate but is good at picking out clothes I like) and so inaccurate (my dad is dependable and financially responsible). Ive always thought it shows how even though he might not always be the best dad at remembering stuff and being exactly what I want him to be, he always loves me and is there when I need him. Plus a (perhaps over) reliance and trust in my independence and creativity.

I may not have always had the best relationship with my mother but I’m lucky to have had a doting silly goofy stay-at-home working artist dad who would do anything for me. He taught me everything I know, made me go hiking especially when I didn’t want to, and encouraged me in all of my artistic pursuits! Happy Father’s Day 🫶

Named after my grandfather who was actually my father’s stepdad. He stepped in and was a great dad to him and my aunt. Also a stylish dresser and always had jokes.

I am by no means traditionally religious, but I fully understand how being in the presence of beautiful stained glass can feel like being with god. ALWAYS stop off at a church on the way if you think it might have good stained glass. The bluebells in the bottom right corner of this made me loose my breath for a moment.

I used to be envious of people who had “MySpace friends” or “tumblr friends”. Now I have PI.FYI friends. Thank you capyboppy for your lovely letter and this illustration of a capybara and a mouse with fruit on our heads, it made me weirdly emotional ❤️
