March 2025

Elizabeth Clapp

here are my daily doodles from March. I have kind of stopped the “what day it is determines how long I draw” type thing. And I have no idea what happened March 1st through 5th, I think they fell in a hole. This month in general went by very fast for me.

In other news, if you are reading this on the day it posts, I’ll be tabling this upcoming Saturday at the first Comic Arts Maine Portland. It’ll be my first time selling my five years of architecture school comic in person & I recently compiled some comic strips into a small book that I will also have there. I am nervous but it should be fineeee

Comics & Zines

January 2025

I used to draw a doodle diary everyday from 2017 til early 2020 (I can bet you can guess what caused me to stop lol). I’d draw it on my surface laptop and post it on my tumblr blog.

At the end of December, I came across Sophie Yanow’s gentle comic habit via Lisa Hanawalt and figured I would give it a shot. It would bring me back to drawing everyday with a bit of a different structure. I wouldn’t necessarily be documenting what I did each day, and I wanted to draw on paper instead. I altered the rule to add a minute everyday you draw (which would end the year with drawing for 6 hours if you were rigidly sticking true to form) to be instead “the day of the month= how many minutes to spend drawing”. I was largely drawing during my lunch break and I didn’t want to ever go over 31 minutes. And speaking of time limit, I decided later in the month that the minutes would moreso be a cap than a strict “must draw for all twenty-plus minutes”- if I have a quick idea, I am not gonna stretch it out. Which might be against the point, but at least for now, I care more about doing something consistently than building a ton of stamina.

I did miss drawing January 19 & 20, but can you blame me? I caught up on the 21st.

A Trip to Canada

Elizabeth Clapp


Since high school, my best friend and I have been casually ideating about a trip to Canada. It’s right there, we’d say. ‘Right there’ being relative, meaning that driving- our newest form of freedom as high schoolers- was possible over flying, despite the fact we were living in South Carolina at the time. Many years passed, and the vague plan to go to Canada as a college graduation trip formed. Of course, I graduated later as I was partaking in a five-year degree program, and then was busy with an internship the following summer, so it became less of a graduation trip. But finally, summer 2024 emerged. I’d moved up to Albany for work the year prior and it was more true than ever that Canada was right there.

A Collage of Scuttlebutt

Hello, thanks for reading. Have not posted on this blog in a while, and as I was uploading the photos for this post I reached 101% storage capacity for the wordpress media library (and media is all I post anyway). So I guess at some point in the future I needa either succumb to wordpress and pay them money, or find some other platform to transfer all my content and stuff over to (either free, or at a better price). We’ll see, I guess.
