In my body there was a strong urge to run, destination unimportant, just away.

But still, it feels hard, to be so fully of a place that has receded into myth and memory.

Spider-band in Halloween costumes as Monster High characters!!!

+Margo (she's not a bonus, I just couldn't fit her onto the same page as the others)

Hobie - Frankie Stein, most changes to original costume, the nonbinary swag rules ⚡💚

Gwen - Rochelle Goyle, color schemes are similar 🪨🩷

Miles - Holt Hyde, the vibes were fun (and my boyfriend loves Jackson/Frankie/Holt so it's a punkflower nod) 🎧💙

Pavitr - Toralei Stripe, we knew he'd slay in the outfit and we were right. Definitely committed the most out of all of them 😼🧡

Margo - Kjersti Trollsøn, purple and a tech whiz!! 👾💜

Sorry about the colors (especially on Pav and Margo), colored pencils aren't my favorite medium to draw in

24 Books in 2024

I noticed this prompt circulating and listen, I'm a bandwagon hopper. You don't have to ask me twice, or even once, to participate. So these are the 24 books I plan to prioritize in 2024. Books are in no particular order, just whichever came to me in whichever order.

Beach Read - Emily Henry

Shadowselves: Stories - Jason Ockert

Brutalities: A Love Story - Margo Steines

The Colony - Audrey Magee

Small Things Like These - Claire Keegan

Ariadne - Jennifer Saint

Margot - Wendell Steavenson

Hamnet - Maggie O'Farrell

Remarkably Bright Creatures - Shelby Van Pelt

Little Women - Louisa May Alcott

Funny Story - Emily Henry

Flight - Lynn Steger Strong

Study For Obedience - Sarah Bernstein

Teething and Other Tales from the American Dystopia - Stephen Nothum

Ripe - Sarah Rose Etter

My Husband - Maud Ventura

Chalice of the Gods - Rick Riordan

Briefly, A Delicious Life - Nell Stevens

The Pine Islands - Marion Poschmann

My Body - Emily Ratajkowski

Lessons In Chemistry - Bonnie Garmus

Murder on the Orient Express - Agatha Christie

The Wolf Den - Elodie Harper

The Cartographers - Peng Shepherd

The likelihood of me getting through all of this books is statistically very low considering the amount of books that get added to my TBR and never get read. But let's just pretend for a minute that I have some ounce of completionism in me. I'm really looking forward to all these books and will return at the end of 2024 to mark off all the ones I finished. Hope my list inspires some of you readers.

Two women, Nic and Jules, brought a son and daughter into the world through artificial insemination. When one of their children reaches age, both kids go behind their mothers’ backs to meet with the donor. Life becomes so much more interesting when the father, two mothers and children start to become attached to each other. Credits: TheMovieDb. Film Cast: Jules: Julianne Moore Nic: Annette Bening Paul: Mark Ruffalo Joni: Mia Wasikowska Laser: Josh Hutcherson Tanya: Yaya DaCosta Jai: Kunal Sharma Clay: Eddie Hassell Sasha: Zosia Mamet Luis: Joaquín Garrido Brooke: Rebecca Lawrence Levy Stella: Lisa Eisner Joel: Eric Eisner Waify Girl: Sasha Spielberg Clay’s Dad: James MacDonald Bartender: Margo Victor Sous-chef (uncredited): Stuart Blumberg Waiter (uncredited): Diego Calderón Pregnant Woman (uncredited): Amy Grabow Partygoer (uncredited): Nino Nava Film Crew: Writer: Lisa Cholodenko Producer: Daniela Taplin Lundberg Production Design: Julie Berghoff Producer: Gary Gilbert Producer: Jeffrey Kusama-Hinte Producer: Celine Rattray Producer: Phillippe Hellmann Director of Photography: Igor Jadue-Lillo Costume Design: Mary Claire Hannan Editor: Jeffrey M. Werner Producer: Jordan Horowitz Stand In: Toni Kallen Additional Editor: Nancy Richardson Stunts: Cassidy Vick Hice Stunt Coordinator: Mark Norby Writer: Stuart Blumberg Original Music Composer: Carter Burwell Co-Producer: Charles E. Bush Jr. Executive Producer: J. Todd Harris Executive Producer: Neil Katz Co-Producer: Todd J. Labarowski Executive Producer: Riva Marker Co-Producer: Joel Newton Executive Producer: Galt Niederhoffer Executive Producer: Anne O’Shea Casting: Laura Rosenthal Executive Producer: Andy Sawyer Executive Producer: Steven Saxton Executive Producer: Christy Scott Cashman Executive Producer: Ron Stein Co-Producer: Bergen Swanson Art Direction: James Connelly Set Decoration: David A. Cook Co-Producer: Camille Moreau Movie Reviews: Filipe Manuel Neto: **A “gay friendly” film that manages to be minimally neutral to also please those who are out of political and ideological struggles.** The troubled causes have never been so popular as they are today: from abortion to euthanasia, from the historical question between colonizing and colonized countries to the return of looted artworks by European museums, passing through the causes of the Gay Movement, whose acronym grows every year, to embrace any new definition invented for each way of feeling and living sexuality, reflecting a need for affirmation that is felt more strongly than the convenience of presenting a certain union in the ranks. This “gay friendly” film fits perfectly into a growing list of cinema works dedicated to scrutinizing the dynamics of these new families. The advantage of this film is that it is not overly militant. The script introduces us to two mature women, who live in a stable lesbian relationship and who decided to get pregnant, by artificial insemination (obviously the more traditional method was discarded for obvious reasons), the semen donor was the same and the children who were born are, therefore, half-siblings on the part of the father (whom they do not know). It is precisely the search for her biological father and the creation of a closer relationship with him that takes the plot forward, with the introduction of this friendly and uncomplicated man totally destabilizing the life of that house. I liked the movie in general. At the same time that it tries to deny that idea, much replicated, that two lesbians would instill their own sexual orientation in their children, the film seeks to create a question around the inviolability of the anonymity of the donors of seminal material… I cannot speak for everyone, but I would never donate semen if I suspected that, years later, someone might have knocked on my door and said he was my son. Anonymity is something that should be inviolable and sacred here, regardless of the will of those involved. It was the point in the script that bothered me the most, but there were a few more. For me, the strongest poi...

Hey MAMArtist* AMANDA MONTEI (she/her)

What are the ages of your child(ren), and where do you live?

My kids are 8 and 5, and we live in California.

How do you describe your art practice?

I'm an author and critic. My recent book, Touched Out, combines memoir with theory and criticism. But I'm trained in narrative, so I'm perpetually interested in story and how language shapes our perceptions of the world.

Who is your artistic crush? Mary Kelly

What is a superpower Mother+Artists have?

Caring for children teaches us to hold the possibility of another world in view, while also telling the truth about the world we live in now. It's an incredibly creative, intellectual, and political skill.

You have something exciting coming up! PLEASE SAY MORE ABOUT IT!

My most recent book Touched Out is the book club pick at Chamber of Mothers this November. Come join us for a conversation on November 29.

How did motherhood directly, indirectly, oppositionally or integrally influence this project?

Touched Out is about motherhood after MeToo, but it also explores more timeless cultural beliefs about who and what women's bodies are for, beliefs that are of course inseparable from how we collectively think about motherhood.

What are you currently reading or listening to that is giving you thoughts, feelings and reactions?

Margo Steines' Brutalities, a powerful exploration of violence, bodies, and care. And Jessica Elefante's Raising Hell, Living Well, about freeing ourselves from a life of influence.

I'm also currently listening to the podcast Scamanda, about a con woman and mother who convinced her community she had cancer to scam them out of money. It's a wild story about blogging, crowd-funded healthcare, and public personas.

Any message for Mother+Artists reading this?

Be relentless. Don't try to mold yourself into the image of the male artist. Create no matter what. You're already a good enough mother. Be a good artist.
