I have had a rough time after baby #2. It caught me totally by surprise, even though 1 in 7 women experience some form of postpartum depression. But it wasn’t just depression, I started having intrusive thoughts and lots of anxiety as well as trouble sleeping. And because I’m very lucky to have an excellent paid parental leave and healthcare, I was able to get therapy and medicine to learn how to deal with my mood disorder and intrusive thoughts. And NPR let me make a life kit episode and comic about it, so here it is I am sharing it with you … also check out life kit for the audio version wherever you get your podcasts. I hope this helps other parents who might be struggling. And I hope people fight for better paid parental leave and mental health coverage. Thanks for reading! Lots of love to the mamas and papas out there xoxoxoxox

I illustrated a book! 📕 Party of One: Be Your Own Best Life Partner is now available for pre-order! 🪩 Written by the brilliant @damekeane, this book is here to help people bridge the gap between knowing it’s wonderful to be single to really feeling it. It’s full of stories, reporting, and researched tips to help anyone — regardless of relationship status — feel comfortable with their own company and build a meaningful life. It’s filled with my illustrations (they are funny! Moving! So pretty to look at!) We hope you enjoy it — Link in bio to pre-order! Thanks to the amazing team @chroniclebooks for believing in us! Book will drop October 8!!! Xoxox 😘

Hi friends 👋 I’ve been working on illustrating a book my genius coworker and friend @damekeane is writing which is called HOW TO BE SINGLE and will be hitting the shelves Fall 2024!!!!!!!!!!!! (Thank you @chronicleprism books!) It’s based on our comic and her episode of Life Kit that aired a year ago with the same title. ❤️ The book is about the struggle to be accepted and to accept yourself as a single person in our modern marriage-happy society. And, ultimately how to be in a beautiful relationship with yourself!!! No matter whether you’re coupled or not, you will love reading this book. I’m loving making art for it and am already a better friend to my single ladies and guys in my life. Follow me on this journey and check back for updates over the next few months!!!

In the past two years, I have gotten really into handbuilding ceramics. It has scratched the itch of needing to make things by hand in this ever more screen-centered world. There is so much I love about the process. How much time is at stake the moment you take a fresh hunk of clay out of a plastic bag… air is a tool that you use to speed up and make hard, but is also your enemy. Same with gravity… it is necessary to have to mold and press and shape, but can also warp and crush. There’s fire, a necessity for turning clay and water into rock and glass, but it also has complete control over how your finished piece will look. So much about ceramics is chance and risk. Each piece feels like an adventure. An adventure I have only begun. #iconoffcon

Today I turned 40 years old. I feel happier and wiser than I’ve ever felt before and as a gift to you, I would like to share some advice. I have learned over the years… 1. Do work that you love. 2. Get off the Internet. 3. Don’t use AI. 4. Stay local. 5. Be the change. 6. Notice the wonder in everything… 7. Be kind. 8. Take care of your body. 9. Take care of your mind. 10. Let go. #iconoffcon

It takes me about an hour to make 7 seconds of hand drawn animation. Drawing on my tablet in photoshop.

Back in July, I gave a talk @iconconference about the power and responsibility of image making in today’s crazy world. Now I have turned it into an essay on Substack for everyone to read and judge me. These thoughts are my own, not anyone else’s. Lmk what you think. 🤔 —> thelajohnson.substack.com
