I Released An Entire Book With 31 Illustrations That Includes Life Lessons From 2020
Being a dad to two tiny humans during 2020 has been super stressful in so many ways so I decided to create a daily illustration of inspirational life lessons I’ve learned this year to pass on to my kids to remind them of what’s really important for our future. Now it’s become an entire book that I’m giving away as a free download and hoping those who partake will also make a donation to CALM4Kids, a nonprofit here in Santa Barbara that helps kids who’ve been through trauma.

I have to do this since I have anxiety (don't know from what; it just showed up and reappears from time to time).
Walk outside in daylight as much as you possibly can. It works even better if you can go for walks in nature, even a park will do, or in a neighbourhood with gardens. We humans have not evolved since we were cave-dwellers but our ways of communicating knowledge and how to go from here to there have changed dramatically over the last few centuries. Our basic needs are the same and when in doubt, my rule of thumb is to always go back to what we would have done back in the cave-days. We always WALKED and we walked a lot! So, friends, take a walk, and even better, conspire with a friend or a neighbour to go together. Wear a mask and remember to keep at a distance unless you are from the same household.

There is a trash pile that is the size of Texas right now. Luckily people are cleaning it up.
I love to have some time spent with my dog without any other people, just us two
That would be getting Covid but I think this illustration means to overcome your fears
When I fell very sad and depressed, I cry with my dog and he makes me feel happy and comfortable
Enjoy the present moment is so true, especially during 2020. I love the dog and the 2 cats.
I have trouble from this. I deal with my emotions better by myself rather than with other people, but sometimes it becomes too much. I am not that social and am shy so I don't really feel comfortable talking to people.
There's a Bob Marley album! I love Bob Marley, especially when I'm just laying down and chilling.
My sister and I laughed so hard every day that our stomachs would hurt so bad from laughing, when I was younger. Laughter is a medicine, you know (telling you from experience)
Yes. That's 100% me. I love animals and I try to help, feed or watch them
That way you will never be disappointed or surprised, you will be prepared
Where’s the “Don’t vote for people who have a fuzzy orange animal on their head?”
Well those were some smarmy cliches. I hope a publisher didn't spend a lot of money on it.
I love how you use one "colorful" color, white, grey, black. Kinda reminds me of Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales.
Simple colour theme and message for the each one, but they are so beautiful. 🥰
