This is one of my better drawings in the series. Done on January 5th, 1989, the onset of one of the most eventful years of my life. I had gotten involved in Act-up LA after getting politicized at the Second National March on Washington For Lesbian and Gay Rights, on October 11, 1987. My late husband and I had bought a house together in August of ’88 and moved there in October ’88. I was experiencing economic insecurity as my staff jobs storyboarding TV animation turned freelance, then dried up or became intermittent. Yet I was at a peak of my powers, having started gaining mastery as a draftsmen in 1987.
